1. CAREERS IN TOURISM

Like most service industries, tourism is labour-intensive. It employs a high

proportion of people in comparison to the number that it serves. The range of jobs is also
very wide, from unskilled, like a dishwasher in a restaurant, to semi-skilled, like a waiter
or a chambermaid, to skilled, like a travel agent or a tour operator. In addition, tourism
generates many jobs that are not usually considered to be within the industry itself – jobs
in construction, manufacturing, and merchandising.
A majority of jobs in tourism have one common feature: contact with the public,
including both the positive and negative aspects of dealing with ordinary people. Anyone
who has chosen a career in tourism should enjoy working with people and be tolerant.
In many jobs language skill is necessary or desirable. People who hold jobs of this
kind include travel agency employees, ticket and reservations agents, airline flights
personnel, front-desk personnel in hotels, tour guides, waiters, and barmen and so on. The
tourist industry differs from many others as it employs more women than any kind of
business. Many successful travel agents are women who have established independent
enterprises after gaining experience elsewhere in the industry.
The travel agents must deal with the public and with people who work for the other
components in the industry. One of the most important aspects of the job is keeping
informed of the highly complex pricing policies of airlines and the resort hotels. The agent
must also keep up with other developments in the industry – new resorts, changing travel
regulations, new services.
The sightseeing guides must be familiar with the points of interest that he is
showing to the visitors. He usually gives a prepared talk that describes the points of
interest, but he must also be prepared to answer a lot of questions. And he has to deal with
any problems that occur during the tour or excursion, such as bad weather, sudden illness,
an accident. A sightseeing guide needs two qualities above all – an outgoing personality
and language skill.
Front-desk employees are hotel personnel who work at the registration,
information and cashier’s desk.
Free-lancers are people who work for themselves. Many free-lance writers
specialize in the travel field.
Social Director is a person at a resort hotel or on a cruise ship who is in charge of
the activities to amuse and entertain the customers.
Tourism is an industry that is still growing rapidly. It provides people with variety
of occupations that require different kinds of skills. No matter what aspect of the industry
one may work in, the final result of the effort should be a satisfied customer who
remembers his trip and his holiday with pleasure.
 2. TRENDS IN TOURISM

Rural tourism
Rural tourism is one of new trends in modern tourist industry. There is no single
definition of rural tourism, but it is generally agreed that the term implies
 activities that take place in the countryside as opposed to in cities, or in other
urbanized spaces such as coastal or island holiday resorts;
 tourism on a small scale;
 employment and income for local people, but without becoming the dominant
economic activity in an area;
 the recovery of local traditions, arts and crafts, architectural, and farming practices;
 services and activities that are based principally on local products and resources;
 the sustainable use of natural resources such as forests, rivers, or landscape.
Accommodation is one of the most visible features of rural tourism. However, it
needs to be small-scale, rural hotels usually have fewer than twenty rooms. Other rural
accommodation includes self-catering apartments and houses, bed and breakfasts, and
campsites.
An important function of all rural tourism is the recovery of all aspects of an area’s
local culture. This can be crafts such as pottery, weaving, or carving, or local architectural
styles, food, or drink. Traditions, dress, and festivities are also recovered in this way.
Increasingly, visitors to rural areas want to get as close as possible to the lifestyle
and customs of the local people. One way that they can do this is to work with them. This
can mean helping farmers around the farm, or helping local builders reconstruct walls or
pathways. In some places it is possible to live in the house of a local person as if you were
a member of their family.
There are dangers in rural tourism. If it becomes popular, too many people may go
to a particular place and so damage the natural or cultural resources. In this respect it is
important to educate visitors so that they are sensitive to both the physical and cultural
environments of area they are visiting.

3. TOURISM DEVELOPMENT IN ANY CERTAIN COUNTRY

Tourism in Mexico
Mexico is the seventh most popular tourist destination. Tourism in Mexico is
growing very quickly; it is the second after the oil industry. The government and business
recognize the importance of tourism for the country. State and business organizations
develop a modern tourist infrastructure, improve tourist facilities and services. Mexico
offers beach holidays, cultural and exotic tours.
The north of the country is associated with cowboy films, great mountains, deserts,
canyons, plains, and giant cacti. In the south you can find green tropical plains and
spectacular rainforests on the Atlantic coast. Picturesque coastal sites and beach resorts,
such as Acapulco, Merida, Veracruz, La Paz, Cancun are favorite tourist destinations.
There is something very special about the Mayan culture and the beauty of their
great stone cities and pyramids in the jungle. We know that they had a very good
knowledge of astronomy. They observed and predicted the phases of the moon and solar
and lunar eclipses. Today there still remains the mystery of their sudden decline and
disappearance before the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century.
Mexican food is hot and spicy. Don’t miss the chance to try Tex-mex! It’s delicious.
It’s a good idea to buy souvenirs in the markets. They sell a lot of Indian arts and crafts, so
ceramics and rugs are nice gifts for your friends and family.
Well, Mexico is a wonderful place to relax and find out more about the world and
people.
The recent development of tourism in the Czech Republic
The situation changed dramatically after the Velvet Revolution in 1989. Before
then, in communist times, people had the right by law to travel abroad but it was limited,
not politically but financially. You had the right to apply once in three years for hard
currency. And once you received it you could apply for a visa to travel out of the Czech
Republic. In theory everyone could travel abroad once in every three years, but in practice
this was not the case for 80 or 90 per cent of the population. It was impossible for the
majority.
And then, as soon as the barbed wire came down, here the situation was very similar
to Germany when the Berlin Wall came down. People were free to travel. They no longer
needed a visa. Everyone had to go abroad just to prove that it was true. So there were
queues on the frontier. Everyone went out of the country in the morning and came back in
the evening just to convince himself that he could. It was a great sense of freedom.
And then people began to want to travel out for more than one day. Before the
revolution there were only two travel agencies: the state travel agency and the cooperative
travel agency. Both had been state owned. All trips had been arranged as group travel, so
you had to stay with your tour leader. At the present times there are 3.000 travel agencies.
Perhaps economic changes and market forces will reduce this number but Czechs love to
travel. The most popular way to travel is a coach trip because it’s the cheapest.
The number of inbound tourists also began to increase. Foreigners could always
visit Prague, but with the cold war and the iron curtain people weren’t that interested. Now
they are eager to see what they have been missing, and of course Prague is a beautiful city.
It has monuments and buildings of almost every European period. The problem in the
beginning was the lack of suitable accommodation. This was dealt with adapted and
refurbished workers’ and student accommodation. Many international chains built new top
class hotels. So, the Czech Republic has become a popular tourist destination.

Tourism in Ireland
Ireland is a beautiful country with ancient culture. Nowadays it is a popular tourist
destination. However, nobody knows the beginning of tourism in Ireland. In 1845 there
was a horse-drawn coach service operating round Ireland 4 000 miles a day. In the 19 th
century all the visitors to Ireland came from Britain. The first package tour from America
took place in 1895. the beginning of the 20th century was favourable for the development
of tourism and in 1920 the 1st official tourism office was opened. During the Second
World War in 1941 – 1945 the economy of Great Britain had food scarcity and American
soldiers visited Ireland to eat better. After 1945 plentiful food supply in Ireland attracted
more British visitors.
 Over the last 30 years tourism industry in Ireland has really expanded. The
government of the country has played a positive role helping tourism business in its
development. Government policy has been especially directed on the promotion of special
interest holidays, such as golfing, hiking, fishing. Besides, special purpose English
language holidays have been growing quite steadily.
Ireland has become the 3rd largest export earner as it employs 91 000 people.
Nowadays Irish tourism appeals to younger generation, independent travelers, and to Irish
Americans in search of their roots. The highlight of Ireland is its special attraction: the
cultural holiday to Dublin, Blarney and Kilkenny. Most visitors are from the UK and they
account 55%. Europeans also show interest to Irish culture, their number is 28.8 %. The
average stay is 11.1 days for holidays and 10.4 days for VFR.
So, rich ancient culture, right government policy, creative and hard work of people
in the tourist industry made Ireland the prosperous and attractive place on the Earth.

4. TRAVEL AGENTS’ SELLING TECHNIQUES

Customer is an individual with a unique set of characteristics who buys or uses

tourism products and services. Customers have very different needs and it is a travel
agent’s job to find out what these are.
Travel agents are professionals who provide value by helping save time and
money. They act as travel consultants, offering personal service for their clients. Clients
who turn to a travel agent want the advice and expertise of a professional who
- analyses current promotions;
- explains the small print, such as cancellation charges and restrictions;
- makes recommendations on travel options;
- gets problems solved.
All sales are made through the sales conversation. The sales conversation is
different from an ordinary conversation because it has an objective which is to sell the
product. There are four stages or elements in a sales conversation, which are rapport,
questioning, presentation and commitment.
Rapport is the relationship which is built up between the sales assistant and the
client.
We question the client in order to find the type of holiday he or she requires. There
are two types of questions which are open and closed questions. An open question begins
with a W word. With these kinds of questions you can learn what the material and human
needs of your client are. You will discover the material needs by asking questions such as
“Who will be traveling? When do you want to travel?” human needs are catered for with
what questions such as “What are your interests?”
When you have discovered your client’s needs you must then establish his or her
priorities; these fall into four main bands. The first is people and deals with their special
needs, the second is the place or destination. Thirdly there’s the question of price and
fourthly is the period or dates when they can travel.
Before beginning the presentation stage always check the information and
summarize the facts. Then present the holiday you wish to sell.
Match the client’s needs with the holiday on offer, and concentrate on the features,
the facilities which the client requires. In order to make the product sound attractive and
appealing, ideally suited for their needs, be selective.
 Then once the client shows signs of commitment, of desiring to buy, you should
stop selling and close the sale.

5. HOLIDAY REP

Package holiday mean that large numbers of holidaymakers arrive at the same time
at the same resort, traveling on a holiday sold by the same tour operator. Because of this,
the better tour operators employ full-time staff to live and work at their resorts during the
holiday season. These employees are overseas or holiday reps. ‘Rep’ is an abbreviation for
‘representative’.
In large resorts, a tour operator will often designate specific duties to different reds.
In this way the company may advertise for
- children’s reps to work specifically with groups of children aged two and over;
- transfer reps to travel with holidaymakers to and from the air port and the
accommodation;
- club reps to take men and women between 18 and 35 out to local clubs and discos;
- ski reps, who are holiday reps at winter ski resorts.
Resort representatives are the first point of contact for holidaymakers at their
destinations. They represent the tour operator, and aim to ensure the success of the clients’
holidays.
Representatives meet each party of holidaymakers on their arrival at the airport and
accompany them by coach to their accommodation. Usually, they hold a welcome meeting
soon after arrival to give the holidaymakers information about resort facilities and
attractions.
Resort representatives arrange regular times to meet holidaymakers to make
announcements and deal with enquiries and problems. They keep an information board,
and often a folder of useful information, up-to-date. They may also arrange, book, and
sometimes accompany excursions and sightseeing trips and arrange car or ski hire.
In addition to this they need to be available at almost any time to give advice, solve
problems, and deal with emergencies such as loss of passports or money, illness, or
difficulties with accommodation.
The completion of paperwork is an important aspect of the job. This involves
keeping records and writing reports of complaints and incidents such as illness.
Representatives’ work is seasonal. Depending on the resort / country, holiday
seasons may run from April onwards, October to January or January to April. Hours of
work are variable. Representatives often work from early morning to late evening and at
weekends and can be on call 24 hours a day.
A driving license is usually needed, as representatives need to travel between hotels
or other holiday accommodation and may be responsible for a wide area.
As a resort representative you should be self-confident, with a pleasant, cheerful,
and outgoing nature.
6. ECOTOURISM

Tourism is a powerful and sometimes dangerous force in the modern world.

Tourism can save cultures and the local way of life but it can also destroy them. Tourism
can help to protect environments, plants and animals, but it can also damage them. So
problems of ecology are very important nowadays.
 Ecotourism is environmentally friendly and it also benefits local communities.
Ecotourism is called responsible and sensitive tourism. Some tourist companies advertise
jungle treks, scuba diving and other expeditions as ‘nature tourism’. But the popularity of
these activities has caused environmental problems. Like mass tourism, mass jungle
trekking can damage the ecosystem and the living and working conditions of local people.
Tourists only think of what they pay for food, travelling and accommodation.
Nature for them is free. It is not so. The natural environment will be destroyed if tour
operators and tourists don’t change the way of thinking.
Tour companies must provide travellers with a pack of instructions on how to
behave and what to do to best preserve the cultures and places visited. The key factor in
minimizing damage through tourism is to keep groups to a manageable size and then you
can control how they behave. People now go on holiday to restore ancient monuments or
clean up beaches. There are programmes to protect wildlife habitats in Kenya and
Tanzania, to save the rhino, veterinary programmes and so on.
It is important to educate visitors so that they are sensitive to both the physical and
the cultural environments of the area they are visiting.

Sustainable tourism
Growing concern over the negative impacts of tourism during the 1990s led
eventually to the concept of sustainable tourism or sustainable tourism development. Such
development should:
 use environmental resources in a way that maintains their essential ecological
processes and helps to conserve a region’s natural heritage and biodiversity;
 respects the sociocultural authenticity of host communities and conserve their built
and living cultural heritage;
 contribute to intercultural understanding and tolerance;
 ensure viable, long-term economic activities which will, in turn, provide economic
benefits to everybody, especially to local people;
 create stable employment and generate income-earning opportunities and social
services for the host communities.
From this, we can see that sustainable tourism development is not just a response to
the negative environmental impacts of tourism, but to sociocultural and economic impacts,
too.
Sustainable tourism is not the same as ecotourism or green tourism. Ecotourism
aims to provide tourists with the chance to understand a natural or cultural environment
without permanently altering it. Green tourism is essentially the same in its aims as
ecotourism, but the term green is used to create a contrast with white tourism (skiing and
winter sports) or blue tourism (sea, sand, and sun). Sustainable tourism is far more wide-
reaching concept than either green tourism or ecotourism, and is one that seeks
sustainability in all aspects of tourism, from the management of city centre hotels or the
recycling of aircraft cabin waste from tourist destinations in the Antarctic.
A wide range of national and international, private and public sector bodies such as
the World Tourism Organization (WTO) or the World Travel and Trade Council (WTTC)
have issued guidelines as to what constitutes sustainable tourism. Thus, it is felt to be
possible for providers of mass tourism such as tour operators to be eco-friendly. A key
concept in determining sustainability is carrying capacity. This term refers to the
maximum number of visitors a tourist destination or attraction can support without any
lasting negative effects on the host community.

II. Vocabulary and grammar practice.

1. Read the article and do the activities that follow.

An Arabian Nights Wedding
Two years ago a very close Moroccan friend of mine, Saed, decided to take the leap
into marriage and invited me to his wedding in Rabat. Initially, I thought that weddings
couldn’t be that different from culture to culture, and nothing had prepared me for the
colourful and ritual-packed ceremony I was about to attend.
Although it was my first time in Morocco and I hadn’t met Saed’s family before,
when I arrived, everybody gave such a warm welcome that I felt if I were a member of the
family. On the eve of the wedding ceremony, the Henna Night took place at the home of a
bride. This is traditional ceremonial cleansing in which bride-to-be has her hands and feet
painted with henna. She is then dressed in her white bridal robes before being placed
behind a curtain symbolizing her transition to a new life.
The next day brought the wedding itself and the dizzying feast of sights and sounds.
The bride and groom were treated like king and queen for the day. They donned golden
wedding outfits made of exquisitely detailed brocade. At one point of the ceremony, the
bride and groom were hoisted onto the shoulders of the crowd and paraded among their
guests in royal style. The unique atmosphere which was both earnest and solemn but at the
same time light-hearted and exuberant impressed me deeply.
The highlight of the evening was the wedding feast. We were treated to delicious
food and throughout the feast, traditional music was enthusiastically played by a local
band. During the many hours of celebrations, the house was filled with high spirits and the
joy and delight on everybody’s faces was genuinely moving. It was as if an oriental fairy
tale had come to life in front of my eyes.
It was unforgettable experience and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.
Although I come from a very different cultural background, I felt a certain kinship to the
whole affair because a ceremony on which a couple make public heir commitment to live
is always very moving.

A trip to South Africa
If you are planning the next holiday, why not consider South Africa? This except for
country has a large variety of things for people to see and do. Let’s start with a describing
of Cape Town, a multicultural city with a diverse population descended from Europeans,
Asians and Africans. In the city there are lots of street cafés and great restaurants, which
cater for all tastes. This will able you to truly to enjoy the culinary delights of a variety of
ethnic cuisines. Few people would agree that Cape Town has much to offer keen shoppers
but if you’d like to experience the excitement of buying something typically African,
Greenmarket Square is the place! It’s a local outdoor market where people from all over
Africa sell crafts and souvenirs. Cape Town is by the sea so if you’d like to soak up the
sun or do some water sports, then head out to Clifton, which has lovely sandy beaches.
There is also Bakoven Beach, a stunning beach which remains completely spoiled by
tourism. If you plan to visit one of the smaller cities, make sure you go to Nelspruit, a
living place with a laid-back atmosphere. There is a range of accommodation available to
suit all budgets ranging from cheap hostels to more luxurious hotels. A trip to South Africa
would be incomplete without visiting one of the many spectacular nature reserves; day
trips can be arranged at your convenience. Also, close to Nelspruit is Kruger National
Park, which is one of the country’s major tourist attraction. All in all, there are plenty of
great things to do and see in South Africa.
