Casual Articles - Walking and the Economy
Nearly all cell phones today have a built-in camera, but if you are serious about taking photos and would like to order prints the basic mid-range phone is not enogh. The picture quality is limited by the resolution, and cameras on a typical cell phone today use 1.0 megapixels or less rather than the 2.0 or 3.0 megapixels common in digital
So, what do you think about that? There’s more to walking than you thought isn’t there? And you can play a part in helping your local community and its businesses, just by taking at trip on foot. Go on, leave the car at home and just see how much more of a benefit you can create, not only for yourself, but others too. Every steps is like a small deposit in your community’s bank account.

It's amazing how many people are jumping into the internet marketing business. The good news is that the pie is pretty unlimited so we can all get a nice slice. The bad news is that most of the people I encounter are thinking that they can buy some "miracle" product, sit around and money will show up.What's up with that? This is a bu
Okay, giving up the car may be a little extreme for some of you, but you never know!
The other way walking makes money is in the benefits it can bring to the economy of the areas in which you walk.
The Ramblers’ Association in the UK have researched the benefits walkers bring to the places they walk. I’ve quoted some of their information here for your benefit.
The full details of the following can be found at: http://www.ramblers.org.uk/info/factsandfigures/economic.html
“Walkers in the countryside make a significant contribution to the rural economy.
- On their 527million walking trips to the English countryside per year, walkers spend somewhere in the region of ?6.14billion,
- People living in Scotland make a total of about 300million walking trips for pleasure to the coast and countryside every year, spending an average of ?6.21 per party, a total of around ?900million
- Walking related spending in Wales is ?132million, generating 4,800 full time jobs (Midmore 2000). Sales of outdoor clothing and equipment rose from ?25million in 1980 (Jordans 1991) to over ?1billion in 2000”
Sometimes contrary to local traders’ expectations, improvements for walkers in town and city centres can lead to higher levels of business, since people on foot tend to be more relaxed and are likely to spend more time browsing and enjoying food and drink. Furthermore those on foot visited more shops in a single trip than those who arrived by car (Sustrans 2006). In some areas 75% of shoppers arrive on foot (Transport for London 2003). Creating good access on foot to shops and services has played a vital role in many regeneration schemes, for example in Birmingham (Transport 2000 2003).”
“More people walking could bring vast savings to the nation’s health bill.
- Promoting walking could save the health service at least ?7billion (Countryside Agency).”
So, what do you think about that? There’s more to walking than you thought isn’t there? And you can play a part in helping your local community and its businesses, just by taking at trip on foot.
