TRAVEL NARROWS THE MIND
Is your journey really necessary? John Rentoul makes the case against travel and tourism.
I do not understand the modem fashion for long-distance travel O f course, there was once an evolutionary advantage
to it all; people moved around in the search for food and better living conditions But now we do so without a purpose
We travel thousands of miles to get to the other side of the world, and then two weeks later we come back again What for? To see the sights and make a mess of them? To get to know other cultures? You must be joking
The instinct to explore has been exhausted Humans have been everywhere, done everything They have climbed to
the top of Everest so often the summit resembles a rubbish dump Driven by their genes to invent ever more absurd
frontiers to cross, the sort of people who might once have trekked across the Rocky Mountains are now chartering jets
so they can freefall parachute over Antarctica
This restlessness and our ever increasing desire to travel long distances is disastrous for the environment Air travel burns
up unimaginable quantities of fuel and is the most energy-hungry thing that people can do It is a scandal that aviation fuel for international flights is not taxed If the governments of the world could agree to do something about it, they would have a permanent source of income - and put the brakes on the fastest-growing source of global warming gases
As for the idea that travel broadens the mind, widens people's horizons and promotes international understanding, this is just nonsense You can only really learn anything about foreign countries by living and working in them and I applaud those who do it It is tourism I object to, and especially the desire to go to the remotest, wildest and often poorest places in the world and build four-star hotels in them It does not do the local people much good: the hotels are all owned by
foreign companies and only 30 percent of the profits stay in the country Instead, it encourages the demand for Coca-Cola
and McDonalds and accelerates the homogenization of world culture Go abroad and do exactly what you do at home.
But it is not just travel to remote places which is unwise Even in the United Kingdom, there is no way I would travel long distances by car As with air travel, statistics may tell US that motorways are not dangerous; but no one can tell me that it is safe for people to be hurtling along within feet of each other at more than 70 miles per hour If you have to travel long distances, the only civilized way is by train Next summer, as you hold on to your seat nervously during take-off, and prepare yourself for a week or two of jet lag and sunburn, think of me, enjoying uninterrupted sleep on the overnight train
to Glasgow
1.Why does the author sav about the Fashion for long-distance travel?
A It enables US to understand other cultures B There is no longer any point to it
C It helps us to relax D It takes up a lot of time
2 Why do people do things such as freefall parachuting in Antarctica, according to the author?
A They are trying to solve personal problems B They feel the need for greater challenges,
C It is safer than climbing mountains D They want to go trekking in isolated places
3 Why, according to the author, should aviation fuel he taxed?
A It would ultimately help reduce pollution B It would enable governments to buy more fuel,
C It would help governments stay in power D Other types of fuel are taxed
4 What does the author mean when he savs that tourism 'accelerates the homogenization of world
culture’?
A Everyone is eating fast food B People are rapidly becoming the same wherever vou go
C People in remote places are becoming poorer D The pace of life is speeding up
5 What does the author feel about road travel?
A Distances are too long B Motorways are safe C Other countries are safer than the United Kingdom
D Driving can be dangerous
