New trends in tourism

First of all, what does tourism mean overall?

Tourism has 2 simple definitions. The first definition is, the activity of traveling to a place for pleasure and the second definition is, the business of providing hotels, restaurants, entertainment, etc., for people who are traveling.

Crowdsourcing of luxury hotels

This means luxury hotels are no longer financed by banks and investments, but they are financed by private people. So the new hotels offer unique features, which were chosen by the people, who deposited in these hotels. So it is possible to build individuals luxury hotels.

Smart Travel

The advent of wearable tech starts a new era of travel and tourism. While apps have provided some customization and reviews from individual travellers have offered tourists more and more information about the best places to see, eat and sleep.

Destination Iran

Global relations with Iran have been improving over the past couple of years, in part due to a call for increased cooperation with Middle Eastern countries. Although Iran receives millions of visitors each year, foreign travel companies are now ready to enter the market, thus opening it up to increasing external tourism and potentially making the country one of the must-see location for 2016.

Solo Traveling

More and more people, who are interested in traveling solo, are millennials. Some suggest that millennials travel more than their parents and grandparents, simply because travel is more affordable and accessible than it was in the past. But the leading reason for solo travel is that it’s quite simply easier to plan a trip for 1 than for 2 or more.

Burning Man

Hi guys,

last English lesson we have been talking about two festivals, the "Holi" festival and the "Burning Man". I decided to write a comment on the second one. 

 

The "Burning Man" is a festival, which takes place in the Black Rock Dessert every year. The festival has nearly 50,000 visitors every year, so it is one of the biggest in the USA. Burning Man is a huge art festival, where everybody is encouraged to perform and organise activities. To be naked is normally strictly forbidden in the USA, but it is allowed at Burning Man.

The use of money is strictly forbidden, as well as any type of automobiles.

In my opinion the Burning Man is a great festival, because nowhere else you are allowed to express yourself and show your lifestyle as at this place. Profitability does not exist at this festival, so for few days a year, the people, who visit Burning Man, have nothing to think about. Altogether Burning Man is a crazy festival, where you can do what you want. 

What do you think about Burning Man? Please, write a comment

Our trip to france

Hi guys,

last English lesson we have been talking about our trip to France last school year. So I want to give you a short summary of our journey.

The trip starts on Friday the 17^th June 2016 with a flight from Vienna to Paris, which lasts 1 hour 30 minutes. After that we went to Saint Malo by bus, which is on the north-west coast of France. We stayed at host families in groups of two.  The settling-in period lasts only one evening, then on Saturday we went to Dinard by ship. In the evening I celebrated my 18^th birthday with the whole class in an Irish pub. On Sunday we were allowed to do something on our own. On Monday and Tuesday, we had to go to a French class for 6 hours and in the afternoon we did some sightseeing.

After these 4 days in Saint Malo, we returned to Paris by bus to watch the international match between Austria and Iceland. We stayed in Paris to do some sightseeing for 2 days. Finally the trip ends on Friday the 24^th June 2016.

I will never forget this journey, because it was the first time for me to make holiday in France. This was my short review of our language trip. I hope, I could give you a little summary.
