Travel and
tourism
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. Travelers 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.
