Motivation A. READING 6 Read the following text. Find the main idea and the important details. The tourist industry has a very important place in the economy of any country, so governments are very interested in developing it not only because it produces an increasing income of foreign capital, but also because it provides new jobs for many people in a direct or indirect way. ‘One of the government's functions is to supervise migratory phenomenon and tourist services (transportation and lodging), so governments have an active role in this field of activity. ‘As we have said before, the tourist industry has an important economic role, that is, why public institutions like the Ministry of Tourism in Mexico, Secretaria de Turismo, or private ones such as tour operators, transportation companies, hotels or travel agencies carry out extensive campaigns to motivate people to travel. This goal is achieved through several means of advertising, such as: 1. Publicity. Printed material to give information in a personal way to an individu- al ora small group of people. In this category we must include brochures, whose content is specific and general information and pictures. Posters are highly mo- tivating for people. There are specialized magazines such as Andanzas edited u Motivation S Lesson one Figure. 1.2.

Broadcasting systems. Radio, television, podcasts, online videos and mar te are quite effective means of advertising and motivation to travel. Som® imes the videos are not intended for advertising but show landscapes that motivate people to travel. Videos posted online are widely used due to their highly social character. 2, Publicity architecture: This tem defines the material used in window displays by tourist agencies (public or private) This material consists of scale models, handicraft items, posters, catalogs, give-aways, point of purchase materials. 4, Public relation campaigns. They persuade people to become excellent promot ets by being polite and welcome towards tourists who feel motivated to come back tothe country and to recommend to thet friends and relatives visting it, It is important to say that the tourist industry increases the development of many sectots and corporations, so the governments take an active role in the construction of new recreational centers. Fonatur in Mexico, for instance, provides assistance, develops and finances programs and plans for tourist promotion. Gov- ‘emments also restore historical places and monuments, and sponsor exhibitions and sport events such as the Olympic Games, which attract a lot of people. Inter- rational organisms such as UNESCO has included Mexico's cultural manifesta- tions, gastronomy, music, traditions and certain places and resources in the World Heritage List B.
