TOURIST ATTRACTIONS AND ENTERTAINMENT (PART I)
Major tourist attractions include large cities like London, Moscow, Paris, New York; seashore areas in warm climates like the Caribbean and the Mediterranean; and ski resorts like those in Switzerland.
Actually, any place can become a tourist destination as long as it is different from the place where the traveller usually lives. Paris may not be a tourist attraction to a Parisian, but for a New Yorker it may have many charms.
People travel for various reasons, and there are numerous attractions that appeal to a wide variety of tastes.
In addition to being major business centers, the large cities offer attractions and entertainment for all kinds of people.
Cultural events occur frequently, including theatrical and opera performances, concerts, ballet, art exhibitions, to name a few.
There is also a wide selection of restaurants and a great variety of night life in urban centers. Shopping is an attraction for many visitors, whether in the great department stores of New York and Tokyo or in the boutiques of Paris and London.
The big cities also offer a unique atmosphere and history. One of the advantages of the big cities is their ability to absorb large numbers of tourists. These cities have an existing infrastructure that is capable of caring for the needs, of millions of people; and many of the attractions that tourists visit have been developed primarily for the benefit of the inhabitants. Therefore, tourism-is an economic plus, for many big cities because it increases income from existing facilities, both public and private.
The large cities of course do not have a monopoly on architectural or historical monuments. Smaller towns and rural areas throughout the world have attractions of this kind that tourists visit.
One excellent example is Machu Picchi, the lost city of the Incas in Peru, which is a remote and difficult to reach area.
The ruins of Machu Picchu, a tourist attraction that has become accessible because of modern means of transportation, are visited by more and more tourists every year.
Natural scenery is also an attraction for tourists. Millions of people have visited wild areas in Africa, Middle East, Nepal and other places where they can see the wonders of nature.
Holiday resorts usually attract tourists because of their sunny beaches, their snow-covered ski-slopes, or their golf courses. In addition, they frequently offer other kinds of entertainment to their guests. At the ski resorts, it is often an atmosphere of informality, at a cosmopolitan resort like Miami Beach, it may be night clubs and stage shows. In San Juan, in addition to legal gambling, there are historical sites in the old city or tropical rain forests only a few miles away. Many of the resorts give instruction in scuba diving combined with visits to coral reefs. And of course most of them have a variety of stores and souvenir shops (2437 знаков).
