1 Read the article about travel and tourism. Think for a minute
Travel and tourism Getting away from it all?
1_____________________________________
What’s the difference between travel and tourism? Well, being a
traveler is more than just being a holidaymaker. A holiday is just a
short time away, and it normally involves relaxation. Tourists stay in
holiday resorts, not travelers. Travellers go for the experience and
their journeys are usually much longer and more challenging. For
example, travelers tend to avoid tourist traps and like to go off the
beaten track to discover new places. Travel is an age-old
phenomenon, but tourism is a relatively recent invention. Thomas
Cook is often described as the first travel agent because he arranged
the “package tour”: a 19-kilometre trip for 500 people, in 1841.
2____________________________________
Going overseas in order to experience a different way of life is what
many people think of as travel, but travel does not necessarily mean
going abroad. How many people can say they have visited every part
of their own country? Many people who live in vast countries such
as Russia and the USA have only visited a small part of their own
country, and so domestic travel is also very exciting. It’s a surprising
fact that about 75 percent of US citizens do not own a passport, so
travelling does not mean leaving the country for them.
3_____________________________________
Some people can’t travel or don’t like the physical reality of
travelling to faraway destinations. These days it is easy to be an
“armchair traveler”. People can visit distant corners of the world or
even little known parts of their own country without leaving their
living rooms. Television documentaries make the world a small
place and some people argue that travel is no longer necessary.
Perhaps soon people will use interactive computer programmes and
virtual travel will become common. Enthusiasts argue that by doing
this we will have all the benefits of travel without the inconvenience.
