Good day, Aga, More and more people are deciding to travel abroad. - In this scenario, people are likely to shift towards traveling abroad as time passes. The continuity of time links the meaning to a gradual shift in the decision of some people to travel. (Present Continuous) More and more people decide to travel abroad. - In this scenario, you have represented a regularity of the committed action in a way that might be attached to a specific time period, as if the seasons or months. (Present Simple) Thank you for your question. ----- If you have more questions, I will be more than happy to answer them on a private one to one lessons that I hold as a teacher on Italki. Sincerely, H.Kirishchyan

Hello! I would say that the first sentence is correct. In the sentence "More and more people are deciding to travel abroad." - "are" is the third person plural present of be and so the verb ends in ing and then there is the preposition "to" after the verb - "are deciding to". This sentence is complete. In the second sentence: "More and more people decide to travel abroad" could be written like this: "More and more people decided to travel abroad," Because "decide" is the base form of the verb it would need a modal for example, "must decide" and then would be followed by the preposition "to". I hope that helps!

They are both correct, but the first is more correct, because the Present Continuous is used for things which occur temporarily: they did not happen before and may not happen again. The Present Simple on the other hand is used for things which always or generally occur.
