improvements in the standard of living and increased leisure time, permit many more people to go on holidays for leisure
transport
opening up of tourist areas has been aided by improvement in transport facilities
travel is easier by car, with better road systems
more significant in recent years has been the expansion in air transport
advent of package holidays has reduced the costs

people taking winter holidays have specific climatic requirements, either higher temp. than their own homelands or snow cover suitable for skiing
