By checking the percentage of different groups of travelers, we found out that business and leisure travelers are nearly equal to each other, but business travelers are always a little higher than leisure travelers in overall.

The airline industry is extremely influenced by the elasticity of demand, externalities, wage inequality, monetary policies, and fiscal policies. The elasticity of demand is impacted solely on the current market conditions, and the consumer’s reason for travel. The September 11th tragedy has had a very damaging affect on the airline industry. It has impacted the fiscal and monetary policies, supply and demand, and it has created many problems worldwide with employment. The airline industry is perceived as being unpredictable because it is relies on the current market, and the market is always changing. Incidents such as inflation, oil prices and terrorist attacks seriously influenced the demand for airline tickets throughout the years. Competition from other airlines consistently affects the price of airline tickets because it allows the customer other companies to choose from. Alternatives are to travel by train, car, or avoiding travel whenever possible, and consumers have resorted to all of these substitutes during unstable times in our economy. The elasticity of demand is very much affected by the customer's purpose for travel. Airline customers usually fly for business or pleasure.
What is Carnival in Rio de Janeiro?
A Research Report By Cecilia Durcan
Carnival is considered the biggest carnival in the world with 2 million people on the street per day it is a world famous festival held before Lent every year (Rio 2). In 2014 Carnival will begin on February 13 - the Friday before Ash Wednesday - and end on February 17 - the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday. The Winners Parade will take place on the first Sunday of Lent after the parades are over.
The celebration of the Carnival first began in Italy before the first day of the Lent season and was later brought to Brazil by Catholic Portuguese settlers in the 18th century. The origin of Carnivals may not be Brazilian, yet even today Brazil most embodies the Carnival celebrations and spirit.

The celebration is only a small part of the year, but its influence on the community remains for the whole year. Carnaval is considered a time when socio-economic status disappears and communities come together. However, Carnaval also strongly impacts Brazil by providing space for individuality and celebrating individual characteristics. Indeed, Carnaval has become an opportunity for small revolts and protests by the people usually against the government. Brazilians who aren’t satisfied with social standards or laws will speak up and use Carnaval as their platform for protest. The celebration creates an atmosphere of trust and community in which people feel comfortable voicing their opinions. It has been used for feminist movements, gay right movements, as well as others. Not only is it beneficial to marginalized groups who find the opportunity to voice their frustration, Carnaval is used as an opportunity to forget and move past the brutality of life. Whether it’s death or unemployment, Carnaval activities focus on the positive aspects of life and don’t tend to dwell on the past. Brazil has become one of the happiest emerging nations because of the Carnaval. Although Carnaval appears to consist of mainly outrageous parties, it represents much more than that. Carnaval provides a public forum to ce...
