Reading 1

1. Read about four people who work in the tourist industry. Match each person with one of the jobs:

hotel receptionist, restaurant manager, tour leader, tourist information officer

Kukrit __

I work in the centre of Bangkok, at Hualamphong railway station. My job is to advise tourists about accommodation, transport, and sightseeing. It takes a lot of energy – you need to be patient and friendly. I really like helping people to have a nice time in my city, but it’s very tiring.

Monika __

I work six days a week, including evenings. In this job you need to be well organized and efficient. I plan the menus with the chefs, handle the day-to-day running of the business, do the accounts, and manage a team of ten. The only part of the job I don’t like is dealing with customers’ complaints.

Ramon __

What I like about my job is that every day is different. I’m part of a team and we all get on well. I have to check guests in and out of the hotel, take reservations, and sort out problems. I enjoy dealing with people – except the ones who are rude. For a job like this, you need to be a sociable person and to be diplomatic.

Alex __

When I’m on a tour, I’m my own boss, and I really enjoy that. You need to be calm and resourceful for this job. Basically, I’m responsible for making sure that the tour goes smoothly and that people enjoy their holiday. I check the transport arrangements, organize the accommodation, tell people what’s happening each day, and deal with any problems. The only negative thing is that it’s a big responsibility.

That's crucial. If you don't have that love, it doesn't make sense. If you work in the industry, you've got to love it.'

What do you like about tourism?

'You get to experience different cultures, coming to Europe to see how they operate and live, what they like... In Europe you see something done differently which can help you with the same procedure back home, looking at it from a different angle. Even travelling inter-island, visiting various islands, then you see "OK, this island does it this way, we do it that way", and so forth.'

What do you do to relax?

As a Caribbean, part of our life is enjoyment – having fun, our music, food, culture – it's natural for us. I play cricket. I love cricket, with friends, on the beach, and football...'

The changing face of the 'attractions industry'

As the wishes and tastes of tourists and visitors change, tourist attractions have to change as well. In the last twenty or thirty years, there have been some significant developments.

Natural attractions like sandy beaches and mountains cannot change very much, but nevertheless there have been developments, in particular a concern to preserve the environment and to make any buildings fit into the natural context.

Perhaps the greatest changes have been in man-made attractions like museums and historic sites, which have become more interesting and entertaining places to visit, while still maintaining their role of teaching visitors about the past. In many of them, the aim is not just to display the past, but to take visitors into the past in an interactive way. Some have been converted into 'living museums' where actors in costumes meet the public and play the roles of characters from the past. In others, history is made vivid and exciting through the use of realistic waxworks, animatronics models, sounds, and even smells, to conjure up a sense of the past.

Traditional festivals by definition do not change very much, but there has been a trend to increase the number of special events and festivals as cities realise that holding a music festival or an arts event is a good way of attracting tourists.

Entertainment and leisure facilities are always having to change. In the developed world, the simple rectangular swimming pool, for example, is no longer enough – it has to be a water park, with flumes, chutes, splash zones, and wave machines.

The tourist is always looking for new attractions, and the 'attractions industry' has to keep on changing.

a. 'We are now standing in front of the world's most famous memorial. This magnificent building is a superb example of Indian Mughal architecture. It was built by Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz who died in 1631. It took almost twenty years to build and was completed in 1653. As you can see, it's made of white marble, and it looks especially beautiful early in the morning. Please notice the reflection in the water gardens in front of the main building. Are there any questions? OK, if you are ready, let's go inside.'

b. 'This is one of the most famous landmarks in the city. It is a very good example of nineteenth-century engineering. The structure was designed by the French engineer, Gustave Eiffel – it was a gift to the USA from the people of France. It was built in 1886, and it stands 93 metres high. What is interesting is that the outside is made of copper – as you can see, this gives it a green colour. Do you have any questions? OK, follow me, please.'

• Bring enough money. Make that you can get more money if you need it.

• Don't forget to buy medical insurance. Make sure it covers the cost of medical treatment at a hospital in Egypt and repatriation to Britain.

• Never take photos of, or near, military bases, airports, or official buildings. Respect people's privacy – ask before you take someone's photo.

a. eating and drinking.

b. avoiding illness.

c. personal safety.

2. Read the advice for travellers in this information leaflet. Match the headings (1–9) with the paragraphs (a–i):

1. Don't get bitten

Travelling around the world always involves some risk to your health. However, by taking a few simple precautions, and using your common sense, you can minimize the risk of illness, accident, loss, or injury.

a. _______________

Always wash your hands before you eat. Try to eat only food that you know is freshly cooked. Don't eat food that has been kept warm. Avoid uncooked food like salads, and eat only fruit that you can peel. Be careful about fish and shellfish – in some countries they can be a health risk.

b. _______________

Don't drink tap water unless you know it is safe. Use bottled water for drinking, washing food, and cleaning your teeth. If you can't get bottled water, boil the water before you drink it, or use purifying tablets. Avoid ice unless you know it is made from purified water.

c. ________________

Always check local driving laws. If you are in a car, always wear a seatbelt. If you are on a bicycle or motorbike, wear a helmet. If you hire a car or bike, check that it's safe and that it has insurance. Never drink and drive. If you have an accident, tell the police as soon as possible.

d. ________________

Take care not to get sunburnt. Wear a hat, sunglasses, and use sun cream with a high skin protection factor (25+) on exposed parts of your body. Drink plenty of liquids, particularly at the hottest time of the day. Keep young children and babies out of direct sunlight.

e. ________________

Don't go swimming alone, especially in very cold water. Adults should watch each other for signs of trouble. Children should always be supervised by an adult who can swim well. Check with local people for information about dangers such as strong currents.

f. _________________

If you are doing a dangerous sport like skiing, mountaineering, or diving, make sure you follow the safety procedures. Check that there are medical facilities available. You must get insurance which will pay for your medical expenses if you have an accident. Divers should wait 24 hours after their last dive before getting on a plane.

g. _________________

Avoid insect bites, particularly mosquito bites, as mosquitoes carry malaria and other dangerous diseases. Keep your arms and legs covered after sunset, and use an insect repellent. Sleep in a room with screens on the windows, and use a mosquito net around the bed at night.

h. __________________

If you are a woman, wear what local women are wearing. Wearing a wedding ring is a good way to avoid unwanted attention from men. Don't walk alone at night, especially in dark or empty streets, and avoid going to bars alone. Don't tell people where you are staying and always lock your door at night. Never accept lifts from strangers.

i. ___________________

Don't carry large amounts of cash, and keep your money and credit cards in an inside pocket. Carry your bags carefully, and watch them all the time, especially in crowded places. Leave your valuables in the hotel safe, and get a receipt for them. Make a photocopy of your passport, and make a note of your credit card numbers. If you are robbed, always tell the police.

• 'We're spending a month in India. We like trying local food and drink, but we're worried about getting ill.'

• 'We're travelling to Borneo to go trekking in the jungle. It's not the monsoon season, but we're still worried about malaria.'
