PART A: INTRODUCTION

1 Rationale

According to the United Nations World Tourism Organisation,tourism entails the movement of people to countries or places outsidetheir usual environment The purpose of their trip can be for business,leisure or personal reasons, other than to be employed by a residententity in the country or place visited

There are three basic forms of tourism: domestic tourism, inboundtourism, and outbound tourism:

- Domestic tourism refers to activities of a visitor within theircountry of residence and outside of their home

- Inbound tourism refers to the activities of a visitor from outside

of country of residence

- Outbound tourism refers to the activities of a resident visitoroutside of their country of residence

Tourism is vital for many countries, due to the income generated

by the consumption of goods and services by tourists, the taxes levied

on businesses in the tourism industry, and the opportunity foremployment and economic advancement by working in the industry Forthese reasons NGOs and government agencies may sometimes promote

a specific region as a tourist destination, and support the development of

a tourism industry in that area

In this assignment, I am going to carry out the topic of

“Tourism”.

PART B: DEVELOPMENT

CHAPTER 1: DEFINITION

• Concepts of tourism

According to Wikipedia, Tourism is travel for pleasure or

business; also the theory and practice of touring, the business ofattracting, accommodating, and entertaining tourists, and the business

of operating tours Tourism may be international, or within the

traveller's country The World Tourism Organization defines tourismmore generally, in terms which go "beyond the common perception oftourism as being limited to holiday activity only", as people

"traveling to and staying in places outside their usual environment fornot more than one consecutive year for leisure and not less than 24hours, business and other purposes"

• Significance of tourism

The tourism industry has become an important source ofincome for many countries The Manila Declaration on WorldTourism of 1980 recognized its importance as "an activity essential tothe life of nations because of its direct effects on the social, cultural,educational, and economic sectors of national societies, and on theirinternational relations."

Tourism brings large amounts of income into a local economy

in the form of payment for goods and services needed by tourists Italso generates opportunities for employment in the service sector ofthe economy associated with tourism

On the flip-side, tourism can degrade people and sourrelationships between host and guest

CHAPTER 2: THE TRANSLATED TEXTS

2.1 The translated texts of the two articles (From English into

The Corona crisis has not only

massively reduced the number of

business trips, it has also noticeably

changed the gender ratio of travelers

Business travel has once again

become a male domain in recent

months This is the conclusion of

AirPlus International after evaluating

300,000 flight bookings in January

and October 2020 The Lufthansa

subsidiary looked at business

travelers in Germany, France, Italy

and Great Britain Women travel less

Before the Corona pandemic,

about every fifth business traveler in

Germany was a woman According to

the study, it was 18.6% in January

2020 This percentage has risen

slightly in previous years However,

due to the pandemic, it went down: in

October, only 12.1% of business

travelers were female So there is

Cuộc khủng hoảng Coronakhông chỉ làm giảm số lượng cácchuyến công tác một cách ồ ạt mà cònlàm thay đổi đáng kể tỷ lệ giới tínhcủa du khách Du lịch công tác mộtlần nữa trở thành lĩnh vực nam giớitrong những tháng gần đây Đây làkết luận của AirPlus International saukhi đánh giá 300.000 lượt đặt chỗchuyến bay vào tháng 1 và tháng 10năm 2020 Công ty con Lufthansa đãxem xét các khách doanh nhân ởĐức, Pháp, Ý và Anh Phụ nữ đi dulịch ít hơn

Trước đại dịch Corona, cứ 5người đi công tác ở Đức thì cókhoảng 5 người là phụ nữ Theonghiên cứu, nó là 18,6% vào tháng 1năm 2020 Tỷ lệ này đã tăng nhẹtrong những năm trước Tuy nhiên, dođại dịch đã giảm xuống: vào tháng

10, chỉ có 12,1% khách đi công tác là

nữ Vì vậy, hiện tại chỉ có một phụ nữ

currently only one woman for every

eight male business travelers

complementary explanations for this

decline "Firstly, we observe that

certain occupational groups travel

more than others because their

presence on site is mandatory to carry

out their work locally," explains

AirPlus Marketing Manager Yặl

Klein These include, for example,

installers and field engineers These

positions are predominantly held by

men "Secondly, we see that in certain

industries people travel more than in

others," Klein continues Companies

in the energy sector, for example,

have more business trips than

software providers In addition, it is

also evident that women are more

likely to stay at home to maintain

family life and look after children

during the pandemic "Here we could

see the return to traditional patterns

very early on, as the first schools

cho mỗi tám người đi cơng tác nam

Cĩ một số giải thích bổ sung cho

sự suy giảm này "Đầu tiên, chúng tơinhận thấy rằng một số nhĩm nghềnghiệp nhất định đi du lịch nhiều hơnnhững nhĩm khác vì sự hiện diện của

họ trên trang web là bắt buộc để thựchiện cơng việc của họ tại địaphương", Giám đốc Tiếp thị AirPlusYặl Klein giải thích Chúng baogồm, ví dụ, người cài đặt và kỹ sưhiện trường Những vị trí này chủ yếu

do nam giới nắm giữ “Thứ hai,chúng tơi thấy rằng trong một sốngành nhất định, mọi người đi du lịchnhiều hơn những ngành khác,” Kleintiếp tục Ví dụ, các cơng ty trong lĩnhvực năng lượng cĩ nhiều chuyến cơngtác hơn các nhà cung cấp phần mềm.Ngồi ra, cũng cĩ thể thấy rõ rằngphụ nữ thường ở nhà để duy trì cuộcsống gia đình và chăm sĩc con cáitrong thời kỳ đại dịch Klein kết luận:

"Ở đây chúng ta cĩ thể thấy sự quay

closed Even after the schools

reopened, not much changed," Klein

concludes

A comparison with other

European countries is interesting: The

decline in the percentage of female

travelers in Great Britain is even

more drastic than in Germany Before

the start of the pandemic, the

percentage of female travelers there

was 24.5%, but it plummeted to

13.6% in October The negative trend

is less pronounced in France, which

had almost exactly the same

percentage as the UK at the beginning

of the year Here, one in five business

travelers was still a woman in

October Bringing up the rear in this

country comparison is Italy - a

country with a traditionally low

proportion of women travelers

Whereas before the pandemic the

figure was 17.5%, today only one in

trở lại với các khuôn mẫu truyềnthống từ rất sớm, khi các trường họcđầu tiên đóng cửa Ngay cả sau khicác trường học mở cửa trở lại, vẫnkhông có nhiều thay đổi"

Một so sánh với các quốc giachâu Âu khác thật thú vị: Sự sụt giảm

tỷ lệ nữ du khách ở Anh thậm chí cònmạnh hơn ở Đức Trước khi bắt đầuđại dịch, tỷ lệ du khách nữ ở đó là24,5%, nhưng đã giảm mạnh xuốngcòn 13,6% vào tháng Mười Xuhướng tiêu cực ít rõ ràng hơn ở Pháp,nơi có tỷ lệ phần trăm gần như chínhxác như ở Anh vào đầu năm Ở đây,1/5 khách đi công tác vẫn là phụ nữvào tháng 10 Đứng sau so sánh giữaquốc gia này là Ý - quốc gia có tỷ lệphụ nữ đi du lịch theo truyền thốngthấp Trong khi trước đại dịch, con sốnày là 17,5%, ngày nay chỉ có 1/10khách du lịch (10,7%) là nữ Sự hiểubiết khá cổ điển về vai trò được coi làmột trong những lý do giải thích chođiều này

ten travelers (10.7%) is female A

rather classical understanding of roles

is considered one of the reasons for

this

While the sharp decline in the

percentage of women among business

travelers in Italy comes as little

surprise to the experts, the drifting

apart of the trends in France and

Great Britain is remarkable

"According to our observations,

differences in the application of

short-time work schemes play a role

here as well as different approaches

to school and office closures,"

explains the AirPlus marketing

manager She emphasizes that

although the data show patterns of

behavior, they cannot be explained in

detail What is important, she says, is

that once the pandemic is over and

business travel has returned to

normal, the trend will reverse

Business travel should then no longer

be dominated by men to such an

Trong khi tỷ lệ phụ nữ đi công tác ở

Ý giảm mạnh không gây ngạc nhiêncho các chuyên gia, thì sự khác biệtgiữa các xu hướng ở Pháp và Anh làđáng chú ý Giám đốc marketing củaAirPlus giải thích: “Theo quan sát củachúng tôi, sự khác biệt trong việc ápdụng các kế hoạch làm việc trong thờigian ngắn cũng như các cách tiếp cậnkhác nhau đối với việc đóng cửatrường học và văn phòng Cô nhấnmạnh rằng mặc dù dữ liệu hiển thịcác mẫu hành vi, nhưng chúng khôngthể được giải thích chi tiết Điều quantrọng, cô ấy nói, là một khi đại dịchkết thúc và việc đi công tác đã trở lạibình thường, xu hướng sẽ đảo ngược.Việc đi công tác sau đó không còn bịchi phối bởi nam giới ở mức độ nhưvậy
