As a result, some people will actually visit the affected areas so they can
experience the situation rsthand. These individuals are typically motivated by curiosity and do not necessarily plan to participate in relief efforts
to assist the rebuilding of the communities they will visit. In some cases,
those who participate in disaster tourism will simply travel to an area on
their own, while others will purchase a package tour from a travel business.
Some individuals who have reported on disaster tourism note that
some local residents, government ofcials, and community advocates nd
the practice disturbing. Disaster tourism detractors believe that the practice is insensitive, as it turns private citizens and their misery into a tourist
attraction. The citizens are not compensated directly for their participation
in the “attraction” and typically don’t give their permission to be photographed or observed by tourists. In addition, detractors also argue that
the presence of tourists, particularly when ferried about in large motor
coaches or traveling in large groups, can interfere with relief efforts. Supporters of disaster tourism argue that tourism brings in needed cash to an
area, which is important to stabilizing the economy and creating new jobs.
Without the income from tourism, supporters argue, disaster-aficted areas will have difculty restoring their communities.
As an alternative to disaster tourism, many charitable groups do offer
individuals the opportunity to travel to disaster-affected areas as part of a
work group. These groups work with local organizations to rebuild communities and provide charitable and even relocation services to residents
who have lost their homes, jobs, and families. While there may be some
opportunity for tourism during these trips, the emphasis of the journey is
on assisting communities rather than recreational travel.

Exercise.2. Read the text, translate and say what problems can occur
during travelling by plane:
Every year, it seems, more and more people are going on holiday
abroad. Alas, this means that more and more people are also experiencing
the discomfort and frustration of foreign travel. This often starts at the
airport, irrespective of which airline you are using.
At least at peak holiday times as you go into the departure lounge there
are queues at the check-in as well as at passport control. Then, there is often the mystery of delayed ights. It is more common if you are travelling
by charter ight, but they are unknown on scheduled ights.
Sometimes such delays are due to technical hitches or to the very large
number of planes which now take off and land. However, some of them,
in Europe at least, are the result of industrial action by staff.
At last you get to the departure gate, board the plane, nd our seat and
fasten your seat belt and are ready for take-off. Members of the cabin crew
will suggest you food and drink.
Now it is time to follow the signs to the baggage reclaim area and wait
for your luggage, hoping that it has not been left behind or been sent to
the wrong airport. Not surprisingly it is quite common for luggage to go
missing.
Fortunately, this is usually a temporary state of affairs. The individual
pieces of luggage are tagged, making it relatively easy for airlines to track
them. Still, it is always a relief when you are reunited with your possessions!

Travelling by Train
Three men came to the station about 9 o’clock one evening. They came
on to the platform and said to the porter1: “What time is the next train to
Liverpool?”
The porter said: “You have missed2 one. They go every hour, the next
one is at 10 o’clock.”
“That’s all right”, they said, “We’ll go and have a drink”.
So off they went to the refreshment room3. A minute or 2 after 10
o’clock they came running and said to the porter: “Has the train gone?”
“Yes”, he said, “it went at 10 o’clock as I told you. The next is at 11
o’clock”. “That’s all right”, they said, “We’ll go and have another drink”.
So they went back to the refreshment room. They missed the 11 o’clock
train in the same way, and the porter said, “Now, the next train is the last
one”, “if you miss that”, “You won’t get to Liverpool tonight”.
12 o’clock came, and the last train was just starting out4, when the 3 of
them came out of the refreshment room running as hard as they could do.
Two of them got in a carriage5 just as the train was leaving, but the third
one didn’t run fast enough and the train went at leaving him behind. He
stood there looking at the train and laughing, as if to miss a train was the
best joke in the world. The porter went up to him and said, “I told you that
this was the last train. Why didn’t you come earlier?” The man couldn’t
answer for laughing. He laughed until tears came into his eyes. Then he
caught hold of the porter and said: “Did you see those two fellows6 get into
the train and leave me here?” “Yes, I saw them.” “Well, I was the one who
was going to Liverpool, they only came here to see me off7.”
G. technical hitches.
H. check-in and to have a passport
control.
(After C. Eckersley)
