Last year I travelled to Laos, but I didn’t want to go off the
0 beaten track, so I went with an organised group. It was
terrible. They just seemed to complain all the time. The first
problem was at the airport. Some people went for coffee,
and left their luggage 1 u___________ – which meant
security took it away! Then others had brought too much
hand luggage and it couldn’t fit into the 2 o___________
locker. The stewardesses were upset because everyone
was chatting during the 3 s___________ d___________.
I know it’s always the same when you fly, but it is rude to
completely ignore the people who are telling you what to do
in an emergency. Anyway, we took off late and our flight
time was changed which meant we had to stop in Doha for
more fuel! Some passengers were shouting that they’d
4 b___________ a direct flight and wanted their money
back! I hoped that things would get better when we reached
our 5 d___________, but sadly, when we finally got to Laos
things got even worse.

answer A, B, C or D.
Happy holidays?
My name’s Tony Law, and I’m a travel journalist. In the last
few months, I’ve been looking at changes in the industry,
and how different holiday destinations are dealing with those
changes. As we live in tougher economic times, people try
to save money as much as possible. This is definitely true
when it comes to travelling abroad. Rather than stay in
expensive hotels, many of us now use the services of
companies such as Airbnb to rent a room in a private home,
which allows to us to reduce the cost of travel. However,
more and more popular tourist destinations are changing
their laws about short-term lets – to make sure that people
can only allow tourists to stay in their homes for a limited
time. So, how is this going to affect travel and tourism? Here
are two views on this kind of tourism and its impact.
Charles, resident of Barcelona
What annoys me is the way that so many apartments have
become places to stay on holiday, instead of family homes.
Property prices have gone up and locals can’t afford to live
in the middle of the city anymore. What are the young
people going to do? Look at neighbourhoods like the Old
Town. In 2015, 9.6% of all homes there were listed as
holiday apartments – and in the historical Gothic Quarter
section of the Old Town this proportion jumped to 16.8%.
There’s also the issue of noise pollution. I can remember
being young, and wanting to have a good time, but you can’t
do whatever you want just because you’re on holiday.
Tourists should realize that they are in a living city, not just
a tourist destination. But on the whole, I suppose that most
of them are polite and show a real interest in our city and its
culture. Even if they do take up all the seats on the buses…

Miriam, backpacker
I can see that a lot of people would find it frustrating to have
loads of tourist taking over a town, but you have to be
realistic, don’t you? As long as tourists respect your country,
you should respect them. Tourism really contributes to
a city’s economy. For example, I read that in Scotland’s
capital city, Edinburgh, flat owners earn about £4,000 for
renting out their apartments for 40 days of the year. And
that’s just for accommodation. Think about the tourist
spending that goes into the local economy – money spent
on entertainment, local restaurants and public transport.
That all raises funds for local governments. And tourists love
to go off the beaten track, too. When they feel welcome,
they are likely to grab the opportunity to escape the crowds
and visit other smaller places away from the towns that are
within easy reach. That means it’s not just big businesses
who make money, everyone benefits – people living in the
rural and urban areas. On top of that, cheaper
accommodation helps young people to travel – we can’t
afford to stay in hotels which charge a fortune each night.
Destinations should try to encourage more young people to
come, they are the future of your tourist industry.
1 According to Tony what is happening to the companies
which rent out apartments to tourists?
A They have started to charge more money.
B They have become less popular.
C They have to follow new rules.
D They have increased in size.
2 The growing influence of tourism on Barcelona has
meant that
A more family homes are being built.
B younger people are moving into the Old Town.
C the Old Town has become a less popular tourist
destination.
D fewer families live in the city centre.
3 According to Charles, how do tourists affect daily life?
A They use buses and trains more than anyone else.
B They make more noise than anyone else.
C They bring more culture to the city.
D They make the city interesting.
4 According to Miriam, why should tourist destinations try
to attract young people?
A They spend more money.
B They are interested in culture.
C They bring business to hotels.
D They will be tomorrow’s tourists.
5 What is Miriam’s overall opinion about tourism?
A It is unfortunately too expensive to travel.
B Tourists are rarely welcomed anywhere.
C Popular cities and resorts need tourists.
D There’s no future for modern tourism.
