Sorting out different types of tourism

Memorize and dramatize:

Student 1: I was wondering if we could continue talking about travel and tourism.		Студент 1: Мне было интересно, сможем ли мы продолжить разговор о путешествиях и туризме.
Student 2: That sounds fine with me. What do you have in mind?		Студент 2: Что касается меня, я согласен. Что ты имеешь ввиду?
Student 1: Are there many types of tourism nowadays?		Студент 1: Много ли видов туризма в наше время?
Student 2: Quite a lot! They depend on the purposes of travelling people.		Студент 2: Достаточно много! Они зависят от целей путешественников.
Student 1: Will you share your knowledge with me? If it’s not too much trouble, of course.		Студент 1: Ты поделишься своими знаниями со мной? Если это тебя не слишком затруднит, конечно.
Student 2: No trouble at all!		Студент 2: Нисколько не затруднит!
Student 1: I am curious to know how many types of tourism there are.		Студент 1: Мне любопытно узнать, сколько существует видов туризма.
Student 2: I don’t think anybody will give you the exact figure.		Студент 2: Я не думаю, что кто-нибудь даст тебе точную цифру.
Student 1: Will you name just a few?		Студент 1: Назовешь хотя бы несколько?
Student 2: They are international and domestic tourism, in-coming and out-going tourism, recreational and business tourism...		Студент 2: Это международ-ный и внутренний туризм, въездной и выездной туризм, каникулярный и деловой туризм...
Student 1: Wait a minute! Are you serious? Do you mean business travel is a type of tourism?		Студент 1: Подожди ми-нутку! Ты это серьезно? Ты хочешь сказать, деловые поездки - это вид туризма?
Student 2: I definitely mean it. Look, tourism is not just pleasure! The more purposes travellers may have, the more types of tourism there are and will be.		Студент 2: Именно это я и имею ввиду. Послушай, туризм - это не только отдых! Чем больше целей могут иметь путешествен-ники, тем больше видов туризма есть и будет.
Student 1: Will you sort out some of the purposes of travel then?		Студент 1: Выделишь не-сколько целей путешествий тогда?
Student 2: The various purposes are holidays, business, health, study, sports and many more. However, there are a lot more types of tourism.		Студент 2: Разнообразные цели - это отдых, бизнес, здоровье, учеба, спорт и много других. Однако, видов туризма гораздо больше.
Student 1: Curiously enough, I personally know just holiday, resort, cruise and sports tourism.		Студент 1: Как ни странно, я лично знаю лишь канику-лярный, круизный, курорт-ный и спортивный туризм.
Student 2: I believe lots of people think of tourism as just recreation. So you are no exception.		Студент 2: Я полагаю, мно-гие люди думают о туризме только как об отдыхе. Так что ты не исключение.
Student 1: Will you name some more types of tourism?		Студент 1: Назовешь еще несколько видов туризма?
Student 2: Cultural and educational tourism, ecological and adventure tourism, hiking and hitch-hiking, pilgrimage and special-interest tourism...		Студент 2: Познавательный и учебный туризм, эколо-гический и приключенчес-кий, пеший и автостопом, паломнический и специа-лизированный...
Student 1: Will you slow down, please? What is a special-interest tourism?		Студент 1: Помедленнее, пожалуйста. Что такое спе-циализированный туризм?
Student 2: As a matter of fact, there are a great deal of special-interest holidays popular with tourists all over the world.		Cтудент 2: На самом деле, существует множество специализированных туров, популярных у туристов во всем мире.
Student 1: “Special interest” sounds very intriguing to me. What kind of special interest is meant here?		Студент 1: “Специализиро-ванный” звучит очень интри-гующе для меня. Какой особый интерес имеется здесь ввиду?
Student 2: Any hobby you can think of.		Студент 2: Любое хобби, какое ты можешь придумать.
Student 1: Do you mean that if I enjoy beer and take a beer-drinking tour to Bavaria, it is a special-interest tourism?		Студент 1: Ты подразуме-ваешь, что если я люблю пиво и отправлюсь в пивной тур в Баварию, то это специ-ализированный туризм?
Student 2: Your example is quite to the point! Why not? Some other examples are cookery and bird-watching, gambling and painting, motor racing and horse riding, botany and survival.		Студент 2: Твой пример вполне к месту! Почему бы нет? Некоторые другие примеры - это кулинария и наблюдение за птицами, азартные игры и живопись, автогонки и верховая езда, ботаника и выживание.
Student 1: Survival? It must be fantastic! Is it an adventure holiday somewhere on an uninhabited island or on one of the poles?		Студент 1: Выживание? Это, должно быть, фантастичес-ки! Это приключенческий тур где-нибудь на необитае-мом острове или на одном из полюсов?
Student 2: Absolutely so!		Студент 2: Именно так!
Student 1: And what does bird-watching involve?		Студент 1: А что включает наблюдение за птицами?
Student 2: Those are fascinating tours where travellers watch birds in natural surroundings. Just imagine travelling to the Seychelles Bird Island or to Ecuador!		Студент 2: Это увлекатель-ные туры, где путешест-венники наблюдают за птицами в естественных условиях. Только представь себе путешествие на Сейшельский Остров Птиц или в Эквадор!
Student 1: Such tours must be very expensive!		Студент 1: Такие туры, должно быть, очень дорогие!
Student 2: Who told you that a hobby is a cheap thing? Quite the other way round!		Студент 2: Кто сказал тебе, что хобби - дешевая вещь? Совсем наоборот!
Student 1: I agree to it. The up-to-date hobbies are really expensive. What are some other new types of tourism in the world today?		Студент 1: Я согласен с этим. Современные хобби, действительно, дорогие. Ка-кие еще новые виды туризма есть в мире сегодня?
Student 2: Some of the new types that will continue developing in future are third-age and fourth-age tourism.		Студент 2: Некоторые из новых видов, которые будут развиваться в будущем - это туризм лиц третьего и четвертого возрастов.
Student 1: The more you are telling me about tourism, the more ignorant I am feeling.		Студент 1: Чем больше ты мне рассказываешь о туриз-ме, тем более невежест-венным я себя ощущаю.
Student 2: Oh, come on! If you do some thinking, you will guess what these types of tourism are about.		Студент 2: Ну, вот еще! Если ты немного подумаешь, ты догадаешься, что это за виды туризма.
Student 1: Right. I guess that the third-age tourism concerns retired people. But I can hardly imagine what the fourth-age tourism is.		Студент 1: Хорошо. Я пола-гаю, что туризм лиц третьего возраста касается пенсионе-ров. Но я с трудом могу представить себе, что такое туризм лиц четвертого возраста.
Student 2: The fourth-age tourism involves disabled people. Both terms “third” and “fourth” age are devised for the sake of convenience and politeness towards these kinds of tourists.		Студент 2: Туризм лиц чет-вертого возраста охватывает людей с ограниченными возможностями. Оба терми-на “третий” и “четвертый” возраст придуманы ради удобства и из вежливости к этим категориям туристов.
Student 1: That’s understand-able!		Студент 1: Это понятно!
Student 2: And fair enough!		Студент 2: И вполне справедливо!

Travellers combine action and relaxation during a sporting holiday.

Tourist companies offer hiking, cycling, boating and other kinds of sporting tours.

Very often sporting tours require preparation and special training. First the tour instructors will plan the itinerary. Then they will train tourists how to use sporting equipment. They will explain all the details of the route. They will define means of transportation, provision of meals and overnight accommodation.

During some tours travellers carry their luggage and sporting equipment themselves. During some other tours special carriers transfer the luggage for them. It depends on the difficulty of the tour, on the tourist destination and the local practice.

Business travellers often travel to attend an international exhibition or a trade fair.

INCENTIVE TOURISM

Incentive tourism means that a business company offers holiday tours to its employees and covers all travel expenses.

On the one hand, the company does it as a reward or a bonus to a person for his successful work.

On the other hand, the company does it as an incentive for the future. The company hopes that the employee will work even better in future and bring profit to the company.

Very often an employer sets a targetfor an employee: “You will earn a holiday in France for your family if you exceed your quota by 10 per cent next year.”

Incentive tourism emerged in the 1960s in the USA. Later on it spread in Europe. But only large progressive corporations offer incentive tours to their employees.

In some countries there are specialist tourist companies which arrange incentive tours for business corporations. They take great responsibility because incentive tours go under the name of the business corporation. It means that good travel arrangements will improve its reputation. Bad travel arrangements will shake its reputation.

This type of tourism is still a very small part of international tourism. Most probably this type of tourism won’t grow in future.

FAMILIARIZATION TOURISM

Familiarization tourism is often called just FAM tourism. It means that a business company sends its staff on educational tours to its branches or other business companies in other cities and countries.

If a travel agency sends its travel clerks on FAM tours, it means that they will have educational visits to a tourist destination. There they will get familiar with local facilities, hotels, restaurants, and attractions. They will study a tour operator’s or local travel agency’s practice.

The main purpose of travel clerks on a FAM tour is to get necessary knowledge from personal experience. When the clerks return home, they will know what to offer and what to explain to their customers about the destination.

Some experts say that FAM tourism is a part of incentive tourism. On the one hand, such a tour is an incentive to the travel agency staff selling holidays. On the other, it is a benefit to the tour operator which arranges them.

FAM tourism is very popular and will become even more popular in future.
