Good morning, everyone. Today I’m going to talk about the potential of the cultural tourism market.
____________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________
10.1
Research shows that more than 63% of tourists would consider joining a cultural tour. [DF 3]
____________________________________________________________________________
10.2
Between 2009 and 2017, the number of tourists participating in cultural tourism rose from less
____________________________________________________________________________
10.3
5 than 15% to more than 25%. [DF 8] During the same period, the annual spending on cultural
____________________________________________________________________________
tourism increased from less than 40 million Hong Kong dollars to 100 million. [DF 8] So it is safe to
____________________________________________________________________________
10.4
say that cultural tourism has been gaining popularity rapidly over recent years. [DF 8]
____________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________
Students need to precisely interpret the research data
____________________________________________________________________________
and describe the growing trend clearly, then come up
with an appropriate conclusion.
10 ____________________________________________________________________________
10.5
Popular cultural destinations are mostly in Europe, in places like France, Italy, the Czech
____________________________________________________________________________
Republic and Hungary, but we are also seeing increasing numbers of people joining cultural tours
____________________________________________________________________________
to Egypt, Mexico and Indonesia. [DF 10]
____________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________
10.6
15 We’ve learnt from online comments that tourists enjoy visiting unusual locations, [DF 9]
____________________________________________________________________________
10.7 10.8
talking and interacting with the locals, [DF 9] and learning about the history of a place.
____________________________________________________________________________
10.9
[DF 9] They also like eating local food and wearing local clothes, which makes them feel like
____________________________________________________________________________
locals. [DF 9]
____________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________
10.10
20 However, some were disappointed with their cultural tour because they didn’t find it any
____________________________________________________________________________
different to a normal sightseeing tour, [DF 9] a problem that should be addressed in future tours.
____________________________________________________________________________
10.11
Others found it difficult to communicate with locals, so we have already made arrangements
____________________________________________________________________________
to have more than one travel guide on each tour who can speak the local language. [DF 5 & 9]
____________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________
Students need to match the new arrangement

having more local language-speaking guides.
