Climate seasons afectng travel to the USA
Climate seasons can have an impact not
only on travellers but also on destinations.
In the US the hurricane season normally
runs from June to November and it can
affect coastal regions.
Hurricane Sandy for example was one of
the most dangerous, deadliest and destructive hurricanes of the 2012 Atlantic Hurricane
Season. During that time, public transport services started to shut down and airlines to cancel
flights:
“On Monday, about a third of the flights at Southwest Florida International Airport in
Fort Myers were cancelled because of Hurricane Sandy, including all flights to and from
New York. All flights were also cancelled to and from Baltimore, Philadelphia, Newark,
New Jersey, Atlantic City, Boston and Washington.” [ CITATION Lay12 \l 2057 ]
People can avoid hurricanes by travelling at a different time of year, by choosing an inland
destination or by taking a cruise. A cruise ship can change its itinerary to avoid hurricanes
and tropical storms. Even with these suggestions some people choose to take risks and travel
during the hurricane season because there are fewer crowds and the prices of hotels and
flights can be lower. Those that are already at the destination can prepare themselves for
extreme weather conditions by a reading the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s
(FEMA) website.
A good thing is that there are tourists that want to visit a place even if it was affected by a
hurricane. These types of holidays are called “disaster tours” and the people that choose to
take them are a part of an organized group who helps to improve the economy of a devastated
area and to raise awareness of the incident.
Another example of extreme weather conditions that can affect travel to the USA are the
snow storms. Like the hurricanes, they can cause delays and cancellations throughout major
airlines in the USA. Tourists can monitor airport conditions in the USA by visiting the
Federal Aviation Administration website. [ CITATION GOV152 \l 2057 ]
