We are investigating the relationship between the distance (and ultimately your carbon footprint) of a holiday destination to the price you pay for it.
Do you pay more because your flying further? Or does it depend on the popularity and extravagancy of the destination?
For this enquiry, we are using an example of an average family of four (mother, father, and two children under twelve) staying in the cheapest three star hotel (or as close to).
All holiday destinations (except skiing holidays and cruises) are based on prices between July and August.
Skiing holidays are based on prices for February/March.
Cruise holidays need to be longer than one week, and are based on prices around the year.
DEFINITION OF YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT
The amount of carbon dioxide emitted due to the the consumption of fossil fuels by a particular person or group via aeroplane or car etc.
THE ENQUIRY
A table of holiday destinations- the total price for a family of four for 7 nights in a 3 star hotel.
There is a weak positive correlation between the price of a holiday and your carbon footprint. This means the bigger your carbon footprint, the more expensive the holiday.
