考试题型Definition:5分*8(下定义)Question and answer:5分*6(简答题)Translation:30分(翻译)英译中unit2\unit7\unit12Unit1 What is tourism?1、Domestic tourism:Internal tourism plus inbound tourism(the tourism market of accommodation facilities and attractions within a coutry).2、National tourism:Internal tourism plus outbound tourism(the resident tourism market for travel agents and airlines).3、Outbound tourism:Visits by residents of a country to another country.4、Inbound tourism:Visits to a country by nonresidengts.5、Grand tour:Tour of certain cities in western Europe undertaken primarily,but not exclusively,for education and pleasure.It spanned from 16th to 19th Centuries.It includes 5W:who—British aristocracy;when—from16th to19th Centuries;where—certain cities in Western Europe;what—travel;why—for education and pleasure.6、WTO:World Tourism Organization7、Why is it difficult to come up with a definition of tourism that can be universally accepted?①In the first place,tourism is the sum of activities,services and industries that delivers a travel experience.②Secondly,it includes all providers of visitor and visitor-related services.③Thirdly,it is the entire world industry of travel,hotels,transportation,and all other components,such as promotion,marketing planning.④And finally,it is the total of tourist expenditures within the borders of a nation or a political subdivision,etc.⑤In brief,the multidimensional aspects of tourism and its interactions with other activities make it rather difficult to come up with a universally accepted definition.8、Which two elements are important for tourism to get started in Greek time?Large claustrophobic cities and the means to escape from them(transportation).9、Which two factors lead to the emergence of mass tourism?Technologically in the field of transportation;and in the existence of a critical facilitating force,entrepreneurship—in the person of Thomas Cook.Unit 2 Economic impact of tourism?1、Multiplier:A ratio used to estimate total economic effect for a variety of economic activities.2、Tourism multiplier:It refers to the benefits that other industries can get from tourism.As tourists spend money on local hotels,restaurants,transportation,handicrafts and souvenirs as well as other forms of services,the businesses will respend the money which they have received from tourists.They use the money to purchase equipment,to pay employees,to pay rent,interest and taxes,to pay supplier for goods and services.The recipient then will respend the money they have received for their expenditure .3、MPC边际消费倾向:Marginal Propensity to ConsumeUnit 3 The retail travel trade1、Familiarization trip熟悉异地观光旅游:It is a trip ,usually for a few days,organised specially for travel agency staff.For example,a group of travel agents may be invited by the owner of a hotel in York to spend one or two evenings there,sampling the accommodation and learning about the facilities on offer.The hotelkeeper hopes that the travel agents will be impressed,and will remember the hotel and recommend it to their customers.2、Business house agency商务旅行社:Some travel agencies make their living by selling their travel only to businesses,rather than members of the general public.3、How did travel agency make a living?They make their living through commissions so that the more they sell,the more commission they earn.Unit 5 Tourism attractions and facilities1、Tourist attraction旅游景点:Any facility or event which attracts visitors to a particular place.Attractions come in many forms and may be either natural or man-made.2、Living museumThe museums where actors and actresses in costumes meet the public and play the roles of characters from the past,in attempts to make the exhibits come alive for visitors. A good example of this is the Jorvik Viking Center in York.3、Hatfield houseIt is situated 20 miles north of London.The home of Cecil family,this house,dating from Jacobean times is popular with the visitors who tour the lavishly decorated state rooms.4、Which three trends concerning built attractions were prevalent in UK in the late 20th century?Please cite examples to illustrate.①One marked trend in tourism industry is that built attractions are becoming more sophisticated and exciting places to visit;②another trend is that more places are being open to the public as tourist attractions,although the original purpose for which they were built had nothing to do with tourism.For instance,some churches,temples and cathedrals all over the world have come to serve a dual function as both the places of worship and as attractions for visitors.③More recently,people become more and more interested in attractions which show them at work,or familiar objects being manufactured.For instance,in the Edinburgh Crystal factory,visitors are shown around by a guide and they see the famous Edinburgh Crystal glassware being manufactured in red-hot ovens.Unit 6 Tourism and related services1、Franchising:It refers to authorization granted to someone to sell or distribute a company’s goods or service in a certain area.2、B&B:Bed and Breakfasts.It is often a private home and includes a room to sleep in as well as breakfast.It is small business.3、Benefits of franchising to franchiser and franchisee?For franchisers:Conserve cash and expand rapidly.For franchisees:①Receive a known “name”,the knowledge,advice,and assistance of a proven operator;②Spread the costs of promotion,advertising and reservation systems.4、Benefits of B&B to its owner and travelers?B&Bs provide the best possible avenue for travelers of all ages and locations to experience firsthand the lifestyles in areas of the country previously unknown to guests.The B&Bs host can become an area’s best ambassador.Unit 7 HR issues1、Which four beliefs concerning human resource in tourism industry were commonly held,accord to researcher Choy?①Tourism generates primarily low-skilled jobs;②Tourism generates low-paying jobs;③Tourism jobs do not offer high levels of job satisfaction;④Tourism offers limited opportunities for advancement for local residents.2、Which factors concerning industrial structure result in low payment in tourism industry?①Small unit structure of the industry;②Fluctuation波动 in levels of business activity;③Cost pressures included by competition;④A reliance on vulnerable脆弱的 and so-called “marginal不重要的,少量的”workers.翻译1 Nearly 6 million Americans were employed directly in the travel industry in 1992,making the industry the second largest employment in the country,following only health service.1992年,大约有600万美国人从事于旅游业,从而使这个行业成为仅次于卫生业的第二个雇佣员工最多的产业Travel industry employment has grown 56.3 percent in the past 10 year—over twice the growth rate for all U.S. industry.在过去的10年里,旅游业的就业比例增加了56.3%--这一数字是所有美国行业同类指数的两倍还多.Travel and tourism in 1993 were once again the nation’s leading export,generating $75 billion in expenditures from 46 million international visitors,while the 45 million Americans traveling abroad only spent $53 billion,creating a $22 billion surplus as international visitors spent more money here than Americans spent abroad.1993年,旅行和旅游业再次成为美国的出口大户,4600万国际旅行人员消费了750亿美元;而450万在国外旅游的美国人仅花掉了530亿美元,从而创下了220亿美元的盈余.2 For most tourists the quality of their experience is reliant to a large degree on the interactions they will have with the front-line staff in the travel and tourism industry.对大多数游客而言,,旅游经历的质量在很大程度上取决于和旅游业一线员工的交往.Indeed,within an industry that is characterized by diversity and heterogeneity in terms of the purpose,size,ownership and demands of the enterprise,the only real point of the homogeneity is delivering service to customers and the need to manage people in such a way that they offer a quality service.的确,在一个以各企业的宗旨,规模,所有制和要求各不相同为特色的行业,唯一真正的共同之处就是要为顾客提供服务和管理人员,使他们提供高质量的服务.The corollary of this would be the belief that such front-line staff would therefore be sufficiently well paid,trained and motivated to offer outstanding service.由此可见,要提供出类拔萃的服务,这样的一线员工应是工资丰厚、训练有素而工作积极的.The reality,however,is that often such staff have the lowest status,are the least trained,and are the poorest paid employees of the company.然而,事实上这样的员工常是该公司中地位最低、受训最少、工资最微薄的雇员.3 An ironic situation is now developing in national parks in association with tourism.国家公园眼下正出现一种和旅游业有关的出乎意料的局面.While tourism is indeed promoted,the focus of attention is shifting towards the “protection”mandate as opposed to use.尽管旅游业的发展的确得到了促进,但关注的焦点却正在向“保护”这一需要而不是使用这一需要转移. Yet,given the rising pressures of financing many park systems,increasingly more tourism is being targeted as the preferred solution.然而,鉴于许多公园系统所面临的日益严峻的资金压力,人们越来越相信增加旅游量是这个问题首选的解决办法.Conflict over park mandates is avoided since the type of tourism now being encouraged is that classed under the labels of “sustainable”, “responsible”and “environmentally conscious”.而如今所鼓励发展的旅游业是归于“可持续的”、“负责的”、“注重环境的”这些类别之下的,这样就避免了公园的需求中存在的矛盾.In consideration of the probability that tourist interest in visiting national parks will diminish in the near future,attention must shift towards how tourism,in line with sustainability principles,is planned,developed and managed to suit national park environments.考虑到在不远的未来游客们对游览国家公园的兴趣可能会减退,必须把关注的重点转移到如何根据可持续性的原则来规划、开发和管理旅游业,以适应国家公园的环境.Unit 81、Public policyIt is “Whatever governments choose to do or not to do”.A policy is deemed a public policy not by virtue of由于 its impact on the public,but by virtue of its source.2、Tourism public policyIt is whatever governments choose to do or not to do with respect to tourism.3、Public policy is studied for primarily 3 reasons.What are they?①scientific reasons学术原因;②professional reasons职场原因;③political reasons政治原因4、Concerning academic学术的 study of public policy.How is it studied?Public policy can be viewed as a dependent variable ,or an independent variable.If policy is viewed as a dependent variable,the critical关键的 focus for inquiry调查 becomes “What socio-economic and political system characteristics operate to shape the content of policy”.If it is viewed as an independent variable,then the central question becomes what impact public policy has on society and on the political system.5、Which 4 constraints限制 are confronted遭遇 by public policy research?①The lack of consensus意见一致concerning关于 definition of fundamental基本的 concepts概念;②The lack of recognition认识 given to tourism policy-making processes决策过程 and the consequent lack of comparative data and case studies;③The lack of well-defined analytical分析的 and theoretical frameworks构架;④The limited amount of quantitative and qualitative data.Unit 111、Ecotourism生态游Low impact nature tourism which contributes to the maintenance维持 of species物种 and habitats栖息地 either directly through a contribution to conservation and indirectly by providing revenue 收入 to the local community社区 sufficient足够的for local people to value,and therefore protect,their wildlife heritage area as a source of income.2、Nature tourismEncompasses围绕all forms of tourismmass tourism群体旅游,adventure tourism,low-impact touriam,ecotourism—which use natural resources in a wild or undeveloped form—including species,habitat,landscape风景,scenery风景and salt and fresh-water features特征.Nature tourism is travel for the purpose of enjoying undeveloped natural areas or wildlife.3、What do soft dimension and hard dimension of nature tourism refer to?They were based on the physical rigor严格 of the experience and also the level of interest in natural arman and Durst suggested that scientists would in most likelihood be more dedicated than casual in their pursuit工作 of ecotourism,and that some types of ecotourists would be more willing to endure hardships艰难 than others in order to secure获得 their experiences.4、Which three elements differentiate ecotourism from other forms of nature tourism?①educative;②sustainable可持续的;③ethical道德的Unit 121、Which two documents were issued by Lanzarote conference ?①Charter 宪章 for Sustainable Tourism;②The Sustainable Tourism Plan of Action 行动纲领2、Which three research themes did papers of Lanzarote conference center on ?①tourists themselves;②the effects of tourists on destinations;③transportation.Unit 131、Leisure①Time outside of a formal employment situation;②Time over and above that devoted to necessary household chores;③Time outside sleeping,eating and personal hygiene 保健 functions;④Time at the disposal 处置 of the individual;⑤Time when an individual has the freedom to choose what to do.2、Which 6 factors might influence leisure activities ?①availability of leisure time;②income;③personal mobility 运输;④culture and demography 人口统计数据;⑤provision 供应 of facilities;⑥long-term changes in society.3、What is the relationship between leisure and tourism ?Tourism is divided into leisure tourism and business tourism.Leisure tourism includes ①holidays,②VFR(visiting friends and relative),③health and fitness,④sport,⑤education,⑥culture and religion 宗教,⑦social and spiritual 精神上的.Unit 141、Sport tourismIt falls into two categories 种类,travel to participate in 参加 sport and travel to observe sport 。

The street has a long history. Early in the Y uan Dynasty (1271-1368), the government began to build kilns of glazed tiles, kilning colored tiles for the use of imperial families, hence the name of Liulichang.During the reign of Emperor Qianlong (1736-1795) in the Qing Dynasty, there were more than thirty bookstores there and some shops for other trades, such as curios, drawing paper, calligraphy mounting pictures and the four treasures of study.After 1949, and especially in recent years, the government has attached great importance to the development of Liulichang.Through the reorganization and merger of shops, Liulichang still remains as attractive as it was before.2.Introduction with a focus on key eventsIn order to deepen tourists’ impressions of the place ,the characteristics of the scenic spots and features that are different from others are introduced. For instance, in introducing Xian to visitors,a capital city of 11 dynasties in history; more than 2000 years history; Silk Road started from here;the Terra-Cotta Warriors and Horses of Qin; the Big wild Goose Pagoda and the Small Wild Goose Pagoda ,Tumulus of Qinshihuangdi ;Lotus Flower Garden and many others are the key events to be introduced. Apart from that, seven ancient capitals in China can be mentioned to help visitors understand of China, such as ,Beijing, Luoyang, Kaifeng,Anyang,Nanjing ,Xian and Hangzhou.3.A section-by-section explanatory introductionA very brief account of the place the visitors are going to should be given in advance so that the visitors can have a rough idea of the place before visiting the place in person.Palace Museum---Forbidden CityTime and dynasty when it was built, the area it covers, the layout of the museum, the key halls,the use of the Palace and the important cultural articles in the Palace.4.Introduction spurred by beautiful sceneryIt is initiated by a beautiful scene. Introducing in this manner makes the introduction natural, vivid, impressive and convincing.5.Question-and-answer introductionThis type of introduction avoids the danger of falling into soliloquy. A tour Guide should make the most of questions and answers in his introduction to mobilize the listeners’ initiative and enliven the atmosphere as well as exchange ideas with visitors.(question-raising/ question-answering)To a Greek tourist :do you know how many people are there in Beijing ?---If you know the population of greece, you know the population of Beijing.----Beijing has a population of more than ten million.(The tricky statement would definitely make tourists burst into laughter.)bination of factual information with abstract reasoningIn the process of explanation, the tour Guide should occasionally introduce some historical stories, folk legends or customs, as they are called.That means ,the tour guide should introduce the beauty of the place or the attraction of the scenery in very vivid language, or again by adding some legendary stories to attract visitors.The Forbidden City occupies an area of 720,000 square metres and a construction area of 150,000 square metres. It is tremendously large but was not only for the Emperor himself. It was in reality a city within a city. A legend is that the Jade Emperor in Imperial Palace of Heaven possesses 10,000 rooms ,so the Emperor while on earth was not allowed to own more than that number of rooms. That’s why there are 9,999.5 rooms in the Forbidden City.7.Traced analogy between two eventsUsing comparison to introduce sth new by mentioning it in connection to sth familiar is called the method of tracing analogy between two events.(同类比拟法)Such as forbidden City----- the White House in the United States of America/Buckingham Palace in EnglandThe Great Wall----- the Greek Guardian City8.Lecture on specific topicsBefore the tourists visit some certain place, the tour guide should give some systematic lectures on some specific topics.9.Suspension-creation methodIt means that the tour guide occasionally raises some provocative questions to arouse tourists’ interest.For example,when visiting the forest of towers ,after introduction of history,legend and beautiful scenary,the guide can ask tourists to count the number of the towers.10.Elicitation with no explanationTo achieve an even better result, the tour Guide can provide tourists with some cues or hints, and can let them see and judge by themselves before giving them the correct answer.11.Leading someone to a fascinating vistaThe tour guide should try his or her best to create an artistic conception from time to time to help establish an association and to better enjoy the real beauty of a scene.for instance, when visiting Taihu lake,the stone of Lake Tai is characterized by its transparency, wrinkles, leakage, and thinness.(皱、漏、瘦、透)If the tour guide poured one bucket of water from the stone, the water would come down along its crevices as if a group of dragons were spitting water from their mouths; if a fire were made under the stone, the smoke would come up through its numerous holes as if a group of dragons were spitting smoke upward simultaneously.12.The giving of a crucial touch to a pictureThe tour Guide should point out the most essential magnificence or importance of a matter and thereby help tourists appreciate its mystery.Many other visitors kneeling and burning incense,a question should be asked by the tour guide: Why are they burning incense, why praying ?‖By burning incense, prayers can get in touch with the god in heaven, because when the smoke is floating upward, the prayers float with it and the god can hear their praying. This is the means by which prayers on earth can pass as massages to the god. This is the secret of burning incense.

旅游英语课件 TourismUnit1 What is Tourism?Unit1 What is Tourism?When we think of tourism; we think primarily of people who arevisiting a particular place for sightseeing, visiting friends and relatives, taking a vacation, and having a good time. They may spendtheir leisure time engaging in various sports, sunbathing, talking, singing, taking rides, touring, reading, or simply enjoying the environment. If we consider the subject further, we may include in our definition of tourism people who are participating in a convention, a business conference, or some other kind of business or professional activity, as well as those who are taking a study tour under an expert guide or doing some kind of scientific research or study.These visitors use all forms of transportation, from hiking in a wilderness park to flying in a jet to an exciting city. Transportation can include taking a chairlift up a Colorado mountainside or standing at the rail of a cruise ship looking across the blue Caribbean. Whether people travel by one of these means or by car, motorcoach, camper, train, taxi, motorbike, or bicycle, they are taking a trip and thus are engaging in tourism.Any attempt to define tourism and to describe its scope fully must consider the various groups that participate in and are affected by this industry. Their perspectives are vital to the development of acomprehensive definition. Four different perspectives of tourism can be identified:1. The tourist. The tourist seeks various psychic and physical experiences and satisfactions. The nature of these will largely determine the destinations chosen and the activities enjoyed.2. The businesses providing tourist goods and services. Business people see tourism as an opportunity to make a profit by supplying the goods and services that the tourist market demands.3. The government of the host community or area. Politicians view tourism as a wealth factor in the economy of their jurisdictions. Their perspective is related to the incomes their citizens can earn from this business. Politicians also consider the foreign exchange receipts from international tourism as well as the tax receipts collected from tourist expenditures, either directly or indirectly.4. The host community. Local people usually see tourism as acultural and employment factor. Of importance to their group, for example, is the effect of the interaction between large numbers of international visitors and residents. This effect ma be beneficial of harmful, or both.Thus, tourism may be defined as the sum of the phenomena and relationships arising from the interaction of tourists, business suppliers, host governments, and host communities in the process of attracting and hosting these tourists and other visitors.Tourism is a composite of activities, services, and industries that delivers a travel experience: transportation, accommodations, eating and drinking establishments, shops, entertainment, activity facilities, and other hospitality services available for individuals or groups that are traveling away from home. It encompasses all providers of visitor and visitor-related services. Tourism is the entire world industry of travel, hotels, transportation, and all other components, including promotion, that serves the needs and wants of travelers. Finally, tourism is the sum total of tourist expenditures within the borders of a nation or a political subdivision or a transportation-centered economic area of contiguous states or nations. This economic concept also considers the income multiplier of these tourist expenditures.One has only to consider the multidimensional aspects of tourism and its interactions with other activities to understand why it is difficult to come up with a meaningful definition that will be universally accepted. Each of the many definitions that have arisen is aimed atfitting a special1Unit1 What is Tourism?situation and solving an immediate problem, and the lack of uniform definitions has hampered study of tourism as discipline. Development ofa field depends on (1) uniform definitions, (2) description, (3)analysis,(4) predictions, and (5) control.Modern tourism is a discipline that has only recently attracted the attention of scholars from many fields. The majority of studies have been conducted for special purposes and have used narrow operational definitions to suit particular needs of researchers or government officials; these studies have got encompassed a systems approach. Consequently, many definitions of “tourism” and “the tourist” are based on distance traveled, the length of time spent, and the purpose of the trip. This makes it difficult to gather statistical information that scholars can use to develop a database, describe the tourism phenomenon, and do analyes. The problem is not trivial. It has been tackled by a number of august bodies over the years, including the League of Nations, the united Nations, the World Tourism Organization (WTO), the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD),the National Tourism Resources Review Commission, and the U.S. Senate?s National Tourism Policy Study.World Tourism OrganizationThe international Conference of Travel and Tourism Statistics convened by the World Tourism Organization (WTO) in Ottawa, Canada, in 1991 reviewed, updated, and expanded on the work of earlierinternational groups. The ottawa Conference made some fundamental recommendations of definitions of tourism, travelers and tourists. The United Nations Statistical Commission adopted WTO? recommendations on tourism statistics on March 4, 1993.TourismWTO has taken the concept of tourism beyond a stereotypical image of “holiday-making.”The officially accepted definition is:Tourism comprises theactivities of persons travelin to and staying in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes.” The term usual envi-ronment is intended to exclude tripswithin the area of usual residence and frequent and regular trips between the domicile and the workplace and other community trips of a routine character.1. International tourism:a. Inbound tourism: visits to a country by nonresidents.b. Out bound tourism: visits by residents of a country to another country.2. Internal tourism: visits by residents of a country to their own country.3. Domestic tourism: internal tourism plus inbound tourism (the tourism market of accommodation facilities and attractions within a country).4.National tourism: Internal tourism plus outbound tourism (the resident tourism market for travel agents and airlines).Traveler Terminology for International TourismUnderlying the foregoing conceptualization of tourism is the overall concept of traveler, defined as “any person on a trip between two ormore countries or between twoor more localities within his/her countryof usual residence.” All types of travelers engaged in tourism are describedas visitors, a term that constitutes the basicconcept of the entire system of tourism statistics. Visitors are persons who travel to a country other than the one in which they generally reside for a2Unit1 What is Tourism?period not exceeding 12 months, whose main purpose is other than the exercise of an activity remunerated from within the place visited. Visitors are subdivided into two categories:1. Same-day visitors: visitors who do not spend the night in a collective or private accommodation in the country visited: for example,a cruise ship passenger spending four hours in a port.2. Tourists: Visitors who stay in the country visited for at least one night: for example, a visitor on a two-week vacation.There are many purposes for a visit, notably pleasure, business, and other purposes, such as family reasons, health, and transit.Wordschairlift an apparatus which carries people up and sown steep slopes in chairs that hang from a moving wire 升降椅;空中缆椅camper a motor vehicle big enough to live in when on holiday, use.Having cooking equipment and beds in the back part 野营车motorbike a motorcycle 摩托车psychic of the mind as opposed to the body精神上的jurisdiction the right to use the power of an official body, esp. in order tomake decisions on questions of law 管辖权;司法权,审判权composite something made up of different parts or materials 混合物,合成物encompass to include or be concerned with (a wide range of activities,subjects, ideas) 包含,包括;涉及subdivision the act of dividing something that has already been divided,or the parts that result from doing this 再分,细分contiguous (to, with) touching, next (to); having a shared borde(正式)接触着的,接近的;接壤的multidimensional 多维的hamper to cause difficulty in movement or activity 阻碍,妨碍;牵制trivial of little worth or importance 琐碎的,没有价值的august lit noble and grand 威严的;高贵的convene to call (a group of people, committee) to meet 召集(会议);召集开会stereotypical as in an overly simple picture or opinion of person, group, orthing老套的,旧框框的consecutive following in regular unbroken order 连续的,连贯的domicile formal or law a person?s home; the place where a person lives or is considered to live for official purposes[法]户籍,正式居住地,信处workplace the room r building in which workers perform their work工作场所;工厂;车间inbound AmE incoming; inward bound 进来的3Unit1 What is Tourism?outbound mowing sway from the speaker or the starting point 外出的,离开出发点underlie to be a hidden meaning or cause of 位于……之下;成为……基础foregoing (the one) that has been mentioned 前面的(事物),刚提到的(事物)conceptualization something that form a concept or concepts of概念化remunerate to reward; pay (someone) for work or trouble(正式)给……报酬;补偿transit the going or moving of people or goods from one place to another通行;过境Additional ReadingText A Mass TourismThe Historical SettingTourism harks back to the conquest of Alexander the Great (356-323BC) and the subsequent development of the Hellenistic urban system. It is argued that tourism requires both large claustrophobic cities and the means to escape from them, both of which were present in Greece during this period.Within modern times, the notion of tourism is closely linked to the idea of the “Grand Tour”,thwhich s panned the 16th to 19 Centuries. The Grand Tour is a “tour of certain cities in Western Europe undertaken primarily, but not exclusively, for education and pleasure”. This later era of grand tourism was typified by long, expensive, “classical” and “romantic” visits, mainly by the British aristocracy, to France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland and the Low Countries. Over time, and with the rise of the middle professional class, the Grand Tour was patronized by a wider segment of the population. Nonetheless, only 3%~4% of the Population represented the nucleus from which Grand Tourists might have be drawn. The golden age of the Grand Tour was the 18th Century, particularly the 30 years before the outbreak of the French Revolutionin 1789. By the 1830s, the length of the Grand Tour fell from an average of 40 months in the mid-16th Century to an average of only 4 months.The growth of tourism to “mass” proportions as it is known today, has its foundation inseveral timely innovations: technologically in the field of transportation; and in the existence of a critical facilitating force, entrepreneurship-in the person of Thomas Cook.In 1815, 1 year after the Battle of Waterloo ended the Napoleonic wars, the first channel crossing by steamer was made (the site of the battle itself becoming a major tourist attraction). By 1812, a regular service was operated between the ports of Dover and Calais. In 1828 the first railways were laid in France and Austria, and in 1844 the railway reached Switzerland. “Thisrevolution in Transport technology and the low cost, speed and efficiency that it provided, led to an immediate expansion of European tourism.”Complementing transportation technology was the existence of entrepreneurial talent, “initiative” and “organizing genius” in the person of Thomas Cook. “His originality lay in his methods, his almost infinite capacity for taking trouble, his acute sense of the needs of his clients, his power of invention and his bold imagination” (Young, 1973). It has been written that “the4Unit1 What is Tourism?father of modern tourism was unquestionable Thomas Cook” (English, 1986). “Cook was the perfect entrepreneur, a brilliant opportunist, quick to sense the need of his clientele…” (Turner and Ash, 1975). Hewas a true Schumpeterian entrepreneur-“a leader, a disturber of the peace”, whohad the initiative, authority, foresight, and intuition and psycheto carry out innovations.Thomas Cook organized travel on a scale that had never been seen before. He heralded an era of organized, large-scale, relatively cheap tourism spread across national, regional and international destinations. If Europe had the “hot spots” for the Grand Tourists, the opening of the Far East, India and America, were the hallmarks of the Cook era. Until the early 1860s, Britain remained the main field of Cook?s activities; in 1862 he moved into Europe; he moved into America in 1866; took his first round-the-world trip in 1872; reached India and the Far East by the 1880s; and the first Cook hotel was established at Luxor (Egypt) in 1877.In 1862, the first true package tours were provided by Cook-all the details of transport and accommodation were pre-arranged for tourists who were, generally, of modest means. Spurred on by his example and the profits made by this entrepreneur, many imitators entered the fray. Turner and Ash write, for example, that …it was not long before his example was imitated; in 1863, the Stangen Travel Agency was established in Breslau. Stangen soon moved his center of operation to Berlin and became a successful rival to Cook? (Tuner and Ash, 1975). By 19th –Century advancesin transport technology, Thomas Cook and Son had effected arevolution in tourism by the end of the century. No longer the preserve of the wealth and the leisured, tourism was now an industry. While an average of 257 people per annum took part in Grand tourism during the 1547-1840 period (Towner, 1985), Cook had taken 20000 people to the Paris Exhibition of 1879-such was the magnitude of his entrepreneurial prowess.Despite the leaps and bounds that the industry experienced, tourism, until the 1930s, was still a matter of trains, boast and coaches. Travel by water transportation was a very important form of tourism during the 1920s and 1930s. The ships themselves were a form of floating hotel, where the act of travel was equated with tourism. Travel was seen as an end in itself. As if the industry has gone full circle, today, cruise tourism is one of the fastest growing segments of the international tourism industry.It was in 1950 that the first package holiday built around air transport was organized. This was undertaken by Vladimir Raitz, a Russian émigré educated at the London School of Economics. His successful company, Horizon Holidays (now merged with Thomson, the largest UK operator) was one of the top three tour operators in Britain. By the 1960s, the package holiday business began to use air transport in a major way as Raitz?s competitors, spurred on by his success also began using the aircraft.Still, foreign travel in the 1930s remained a luxury commoditywithin the reach of only a privileged few having both plenty of free time and considerable purchasing power. This picture was to change when, coupled with post-war peace and prosperity, came innovations in aircraft technology and changes in labor legislation, which provided paid holidays, and the development of the package tour. Aided by these innovations, mass tourism had arrived.Mass Tourism DefinedMass tourism is a phenomenon of large-scale packaging ofstandardized leisure services at fixed prices for sale to a mass clientele. Mass tourism refers to key characteristics that the international tourism industry displayed during the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. Mass tourism exists5Unit1 What is Tourism?if the following conditions hold.1. The holiday is standardized, rigidly packaged and inflexible, no part of the holiday could be altered except by paying higher prices.2. The holiday is produced through the mass replication of identical units, with scale economies as the driving force.3. The holiday is mass marketed to an undifferentiated clientele.4. The holiday is consumed en masse, with a lack of consideration by tourists for local norms, culture, people or the environments oftourist-receiving destinations.Standardization and rigidity are very clear characteristics ofpackage tours offered on a large scale. An inclusive charter tourprovides the same level of transportation, accommodation, meal andtransfer services to all the clients who pay the same price, visit the same sun destination, sunbathe on the same beaches, sleep in the samehigh-rise hotels and in the same type of beds, read the same tourist brochures, visit the same sites, stay the same length of time, take the same kinds of photographs and even buy the same souvenirs.Within the confines of mass, standardized and rigidly packaged tourism, choice, individuality, personalized services and flexibilityare just not possible (or where possible, it is at horrendous prices compared with the package price). There is little place within mass tourism for the individual who wishes to be different from the crows,who wishes to use different accommodation or participate in different holiday activities. It is true that many tourists have avoided the ?mass?tourist holidays and many have used the relatively cheap services of mass tourism as launching pads for their own vacations. However, in the 1960s and the 1970s, these were the exceptions rather than the common trend.Mass tourism certainly had its time and place. Today the tourism industry is in crisis. Mass tourism is no longer best practice.Conditions the gave birth to it –the frame conditions, consumers, technology, production and management practices-are themselves changing. Understanding how mass tourism came about and why it was bestpractice at the time are key to understanding why international tourism industry is being transformed and the shape that the new best practice is taking.Text B the Implications of New TourismNew tourism will change the boundaries of the tourism industry and radically alter the position of industry players. Players closest to consumers (e.g. travel agents, hotels, cruise ships) and those incontrol of the industry?s information (e.g. those that own CRSs) are expected to gain.CRSs will increasingly become the flexible alternative to pre-packaged holidays offered by tour operators. The role of tour operators is expected to decline in importance. It is no longer relevant whether a company is an airline, a travel agent, hotel or tour operator. What becomes more relevant are the activities along the value chain that they control.These changes imply a radical transformation of the opportunities available to the various players in the tourism industry. New functions and demands will emerge (e.g. quality control, flexible holidays). While at the same time other key activities will become less important (e.g. pre-packaged tours). Thus, the position of each player within the value chain will have to be re-thought. In addition, as the rules of the game continue to change, the pressures of cooperation and /or concentration are likely to be more intense.Diagonal integration-a process whereby firms use information technologies to logically6Unit1 What is Tourism?combine services for best productivity and most profitability-willbe one of the most significant developments in the international travel and leisure industry. Diagonal integration will become a international travel and leisure industry. It will continue to blur the boundaries among industry players and make the travel and tourism industry a system of wealth-creation. Already, the boundaries within the tourism industry, and between this industry and others, are becoming increasingly blurred. Players are crossing each others? borders more than ever before: banks moveinto travel agencies; insurance companies acquire hotel interests; airlines provide credit card; department stores operate travel agencies; and pleasure-boat companies move into hotels.The industry, as a result of this trend, will become more“system”-like in nature. One of thekey implications of the trend towards diagonal integration is that competitors will increasingly come from outside the industry. Equally, diagonal integration will offer opportunities for travel and tourism players to move into other industries, particularly services.New tourism holds a number of key implications for industry players. In what follows, we will briefly examine some of the implications for tour operators, travel agents, and hotels.Tour OperatorsSeveral of the value-creation activities of tour operators will decline inimportance-particularly those of packaging, risk brokerage and distribution. These functions are being increasingly superseded by computerized reservation systems. In response to the declining importance of key activities, tour operators will have to take action several fronts. They will have o: t, create more flexible packaged holidays;, expand their information functions (e.g. provide computerized reservation niches for specific products of destinations);, develop creative relationships with travel agencies (selected agents could have the option of flexible packaging holidays on-line from the tour operator?s portfolio); and, control the quality of the product at al levels.Quality control at all crucial phases in the delivery of the holiday will become a key source of competitive advantage for tour operators. Tour operators will have to take a far broader view of the holiday that they deliver. They will have to find ways of better controlling and influencing the product delivered to consumers.Travel agenciesThe importance of travel agency reservations, ticketing the client advice functions are all expected to grow in importance. Already travel agencies handle a large and growing proportion of airline bookings. In creating more value from these activities, travel agencies will have to use their CRSs creatively and provide the information that consumers want.It is to ensuring the satisfaction of the travel consumers that agencies must give priority in order to ensure their own long-term survival and competitiveness. The ability of travel agents to acquire, provide and transmit unbiased information in a courteous, efficient and timely manner will be key to their competitive success. Indeed, a competitor agency will be able to copy a convenient …high-street? location, subscribe to the same airline reservation system and place satellite printers in their corporate clients? offices. However, a competitor will have tremendous difficulty in copying travel agency personnel who place the interest of the consumers first, causing them to be loyal.New opportunities for travel agencies to create value will emerge in the areas of packaging7Unit1 What is Tourism?and in the representation of services other than those of tour operators. Travel agencies will have the information at their finger-tip to provide flexible itineraries. Strategically, through cooperation withother agencies, agents can increase buying power with airlines and other suppliers in order to obtain competitive prices for package components. This will allow travel agencies the avenue to provide competitively priced, flexible holiday packages. Travel agencies will also find it profitable to represent other services such as cruise ships, pleasure boats, car-rental companies, hotels, spas and other segments that will grow in importance in the travel and leisure industry.HotelsHotels will no longer be able to leave their marketing to tour operators or their reservations systems. They will have to get closer to their consumers and to travel agents in the market place. This is the only way that hotels will be able to adjust effectively their products to suit their changing clients. Being close to consumers and supplying the experiences they want have become so important that hotels can no longer simply sit back and expect their rooms to be sold.One of the key ingredients in the success of Sandals and SuperCluball-inclusive hotels in the Caribbean, for example, is the strong links they have established with travel agents in the marketplace. Nothing is left to chance. Sandals and SuperClub employ sales agents in the arketplace whose business it is to travel the length and breath of the USA (and increasingly mEuropean) markets to educate travel agents about their product, new services, new properties and new experiences being offered.Hotels will have to work more closely with their guests, listen to them and modify the services they offer to meet the new demands. Hotels will also have to identify market niches, segment the market and provide the experiences that consumers want and for which they are willing to pay.什么是旅游一提到旅游,我们首先会想到这样一些人:他们到某个特定的景点去观光、去拜访朋友或亲戚、去度假,并且过得很愉快。

I would like to appreciate travellers to visit there not only because of its beautiful scene, and also the fantastic food. I do not interested in countries such as Iraq and Thiland.Due to the recent wars and social turmoil, it is quite unsafe to travel to these countries. Normally i take air-plane to travel.

The standard two-and-a-half-hour guided tour gives an audience at best an abridged understanding of this vast and sprawling site. What a tourist can comprehend in such a brief visit is questionable.英语作文:travelling 篇五as a highly profitable industry, tourism needs to develop new items of interest. my suggestion is landscape plus chinese calligraphy. i think its quite potential for two reasons. the first is that chinese calligraphy is an art which is so naturally and nicely incorporated with chinas abundant resources of landscape.the second reason is that chinese calligraphy has such fascination for foreign tourists especially westerners. imagine a scenery spot displaying artists masterpieces of chinese calligraphy! such blend can nowhere be enjoyed outside of china.英语作文:travelling 篇六A trip to BeidaiheLast Sunday we had a short trip to Beidaihe.We set out in the school bus at 7:20am.the weather was pleasant and every one of us was excited,Aftertwo hours'ride,we arrived there at nine thirty.We played games on the sands and swam un the sea happily.After that ,we had lunch in a restaurant.In the afternoon we walked along the beach .It is very beautiful and we took many photos.we enjoyed ourselves very much.Time passed quickly and we hadto leave .It was half past four when we returned safely .what a wonderfor trip we had!
