Session 8: Reading
JAPANESE TOURISTS CALL POLICE OVER RIP-OFF RESTAURANT BILL

Four Japanese tourists are very angry after a restaurant in Venice, Italy charged them €1,100 ($1,350)
for a dinner of steak, fish and water. In fact, the four tourists say they were ripped off (overcharged) for
their meal. The four diners are students and study in the city of Bologna. They were on a day trip to
Venice and decided to have dinner at a restaurant near the world-famous St Mark's Square on Friday.
As well as the police looking into this incident, the mayor of Venice has promised he would also take
action. The mayor said: "If this disgraceful episode is confirmed, we'll do all we can to punish those
responsible. We are for justice - always."

It is common for tourists to be overcharged anywhere in the world. Tourism groups in Venice are worried
about the Japanese tourists saying they were ripped off. This is because there have been many similar
cases recently of rip-off prices in Venice. One tourism group tweeted: "Whoever puts the good name of
Venice at risk, harms all Venetians." The restaurant has a very low 1.5 (out of 5) rating on the website
TripAdvisor.com . A huge 83 per cent of visitors gave it a "Terrible" rating. One TripAdvisor user
complained that: "The food was very average....They added almost €50 in taxes and a tip - these are
the hidden fees that they don't tell you about. And the service wasn't that good. I feel scammed."

We all love and have enjoyed an all-you-can-eat buffet, but how many of us have had an "all-you-can-
stay" holiday? It sounds too good to be true, but a hotel company in the Maldives is offering guests a
once-in-a-lifetime vacation. The luxury Anantara Veli resort has a special package that includes unlimited
use of its property for the whole of 2021. Customers will get the use of a two-person bungalow that is
perched above the crystal-clear blue waters of the Indian Ocean. The resort is also throwing in airport
transfers, 365 breakfasts, discounts on spa treatments, cooking lessons on Maldivian cuisine, and scuba
diving. However, all this comes at a hefty cost of $30,000.

The Maldives is a tiny archipelago nation in the Indian Ocean, about 700km from the southern tip of
India. It has developed into a luxurious, high-end destination_ It is famed for its pristine beaches, palm
trees and five-star hospitality. The quality of its marine life has put it on the bucket list of adventure-
seeking scuba divers. Many of its resorts are on private islands and atolls, making it a perfect choice for
holidaymakers who seek seclusion and privacy in paradise. The Maldives is highly dependent on
international tourism and has struggled during the coronavirus pandemic. A tourism spokesperson said
the $30,000 package is good value and cheaper than staying in an average hotel for a year.
