Заканчивается очередной учебный год, и хочется поразмышлять о наступающем лете, а также о путешествиях и туризме, которые раскрашивают нашу жизнь яркими красками, не давая увязнуть в рутине повседневности. Давайте сделаем над собой усилие и серьезно поразмышляем на тему "Tourism and Traveling".
Tourism and Traveling
The scientific and
technological progress of the 20th century has allowed people to
overcome time and distance, to cover in the twinkling of an eye (в мгновение ока) the vast space of our
planet. The whole world is open now. The limits and frontiers of the previous
period have stopped to exist. We can choose any place on the planet and go
there on business or on holiday.
Tourism is travel away from a
person’s usual place of residence for a period longer than twenty-four hours,
primarily for pleasure or recreation (развлечение,
восстановление сил), and frequently to multiple (разнообразный) destinations. It may be a
resort, but it may also be a large city.
Usually people travel for entirely
different purposes. Ones – for the purpose of recreation or pleasure; they are those
on holiday. Others travel for reasons of health. Some travel to visit their
friends or relatives, a reason that has become more important because of
increasing mobility throughout the world. Still others travel in order to
educate themselves because travel is mind broadening. All of them are generally
considered tourists since the primary reason for their trips is recreation.
There are several ways of traveling. Some people travel by
car, some – by bus or by train, another think that the best way of traveling is
on feet with a backpack on their shoulders, the most luxurious way of traveling
is considered a ship, having a romantic cruise, but the most comfortable and
popular transport still remains a plane. Anyway all this means of
transportation have their advantages and disadvantages and each person makes
his choice according to plans and resources.
As for me there is no matter which transport I
choose but a good company and positive spirit plays the main role in my tour.
This people and mood can make each event a real adventure. Of course the main
aim of traveling is to distract from everyday life, meet new people, get acquainted
with culture, architecture, cuisine and history, and all this things make our
life richer and more adventurous. But there is one more sufficient thing that
tourism does – it helps us to learn something new about ourselves. When we see
magnificent sites of Machu Picchu, or the landscapes of New Zeeland, architecture
of Prague or ancient Greece, frescoes (фрески) on the walls of the
Vatican we start to realize ourselves as leaving intelligent creatures with consciousness
(сознание)
and a lot of complicated things in our mind that gives us an opportunity to be called
human beings.
So, to sum everything up I should say that tourism
and traveling are important for our well-being, they stimulate our imagination,
train our senses, broaden our minds and give us unforgettable experience that is
better to share with someone.
Хороших каникул и незабываемых путешествий!
