Tourism — Туризм

Twenty years ago not many people travelled overseas for their holidays. The majority of people stayed to have holidays in their country. Today the situation is different and the world seems much smaller.
It is possible to book a holiday to a seaside resort on the other side of the world. Staying at home, you can book it through the Internet or by phone. The plane takes you straight there and within some hours of leaving your country, you can be on a tropical beach, breathing a super clean air and swimming in crystal warm water of tropical sea.
We can travel by car, by train or plane, if we have got a long distance tour. Some young people prefer walking or hitch-hike travelling, when you travel, paying nearly nothing. You get new friends, lots of fun and have no idea where you will be tomorrow. It has great advantages for the tourists, who want to get the most out of exploring the world and give more back to the people and places visited. If you like mountains, you could climb

any mountains around the globe and there is only one restriction. It is money. If you like travelling, you have got to have some money, because it is not a cheap hobby indeed. The economy of some countries is mainly based on tourism industry. Modern tourism has become a highly developed industry, because any human being is curious and inquisitive, we like leisure, visit other places. That is why tourism prospers.
People travel from the very beginning of their civilization. Thousands years ago all people were nomads and collectors. They roamed all their lives looking for food and better life. This way human beings populated the whole planet Earth. So, travelling and visiting other places are the part of our consciousness. That is why tourism and travelling are so popular.
Nowadays tourism has become a highly developed business. There are trains, cars and air jet liners, buses, ships that provide us with comfortable and secure travelling.
If we travel for pleasure, by all means one would like to enjoy picturesque places they are passing through, one would like seeing the places of interest, enjoying the sightseeing
of the cities, towns and countries.
Nowadays people travel not only for pleasure but also on business. People have to go to other countries for taking part in different negotiations, for signing some very important documents, for participating in different exhibitions, in order to exhibit the goods of own firm or company. Travelling on business helps people to get more information about achievements of other companies, which will help making own business more successful.
There are a lot of means of travelling: travelling by ship, by plane, by car, walking. It depends on a person to decide which means of travelling one would prefer.

Туризм

Двадцать лет назад не многие люди ездили в отпуск за границу. Большая часть людей проводила отпуск в своей стране. Сегодня ситуация изменилась, и мир кажется намного меньше.
Сегодня стало возможным зарезервировать место на морском курорте на другой стороне мира.
Не выходя из дома, вы можете заказать билеты через Интернет или по телефону. Самолет доставит вас прямо туда, куда вы желаете, и через несколько часов после отбытия из своей страны, вы сможете оказаться на тропическом побережье, наслаждаясь чистейшим воздухом, плавая в кристально чистой, теплой воде тропического моря.
Мы можем путешествовать на автомобиле, поездом или самолетом, если нам предстоит долгая дорога. Некоторые молодые люди предпочитают путешествовать пешком или автостопом, при этом почти ничего не тратя на свое путешествие. Вы встречаете новых друзей, развлекаетесь и понятия не имеете, где будете завтра. В этом и заключается большое преимущество для туристов — тех, кто хочет получить все, что только возможно от исследования мира, при этом не сильно утруждая людей вокруг. Если вы любите горы, вы могли бы подниматься на любые горы по всему земному шару. Есть только одно ограничение. Это деньги. Если вы любите путешествовать, у вас должны быть деньги, потому что это, в действительности, не дешевое хобби.
Экономика некоторых стран существует за счет туризма. Современный туризм стал высоко развитой индустрией, потому что любой человек любопытен, любознателен и любит досуг, любит посещать другие места. Именно поэтому туризм процветает.
Люди путешествуют с самого начала своей цивилизации. Тысячи лет назад все люди были кочевниками и собирателями. Всю свою жизнь они бродили в поисках продовольствия и лучшей жизни. Таким образом люди заселили всю планету Земля. Так что путешествие и посещение других мест — это часть нашего сознания. Именно поэтому туризм и путешествие настолько популярны.
В настоящее время туризм стал высоко развитым бизнесом. Поезда, автомобили и воздушные реактивные лайнеры, автобусы, суда предоставляют нам комфортное и безопасное путешествие.
Если мы путешествуем ради удовольствия, каждый хотел бы, во что бы то ни стало, насладиться живописными местами, которые он пролетает, хотел бы увидеть интересные места, насладиться достопримечательностями городов и стран.
В настоящее время люди путешествуют не только ради удовольствия, но также и по делам. Люди должны ехать в другие страны для участия в различных переговорах, для подписания некоторых очень важных документов, для участия в различных выставках, чтобы показать товары собственной фирмы или компании. Бизнес-поездки помогают людям получать большее количество информации относительно достижений других компаний, что поможет создать более успешное дело.
Путешествовать можно по-разному: на корабле, самолете, автомобиле, пешком. Все зависит от человека, и его предпочтений.
