1 Travel was very expensive before the middle of the nineteenth
century.
2 Thomas Cook was a travel agent in 1841.
3 The first public trip was in 1845.
4 The Great Exhibition was in Liverpool.
5 The first trip outside Britain went to France.
6 In 1866 he opened an office in London.
7 Some tourists wanted to visit the Civil War battlefields.
8 The Cooks stayed in hotels in the Holy Land.
9 The traveller’s cheque allowed people to travel without large
amounts of cash.
10 Thomas Cook died in 1891.
These days, most people choose a package tour, especially when they go abroad on
holiday. They pay for their travel and accommodation in their own country and they take
стр. 2 из 89
traveller’s cheques which they exchange for local money when they arrive in the foreign
country. But in the past it was very different. In fact, before the middle of the nineteenth
century travelling for pleasure was rare and very expensive, and only a few rich people
travelled abroad. The man who changed all this and brought in the age of mass tourism
was Thomas Cook.
Thomas Cook was a printer in Leicester, England and the secretary of a local
church organisation. In 1841 it was his job to arrange rail travel for members of his church
to a meeting in Loughborough a round trip of twenty-two miles. This was the world’s first
package trip. After this first success, he organised many more for his church. Then in 1845
he advertised a package tour to Liverpool for the general public, and before it took place
he went to Liverpool to meet the hotel staff, and check the accommodation and
restaurants.
He then started to organise trips all over Britain, including the Great Exhibition in
London. In 1851 he published the world’s first travel magazine which had details of trips,
advice to travellers and articles and reports about the places to visit.
In 1855 he took his first group of tourists to Paris and later that year led a tour of
Belgium, Germany and France. The following year he opened an office in London, which
his son John Mason managed. They introduced a circular ticket, which gave the traveller a
single ticket to cover one journey instead of a number of tickets from all the railway
companies involved.
In 1866 the first group of European tourists visited New York and the Civil War
battlefields of Virginia. In 1868 the Cooks went to the Holy Land with tents because there
were no hotels there at that time.
It was dangerous to carry large amounts of cash, so in 1874 Cook introduced an
early form of traveller’s cheque, which travellers could cash at a number of hotels and
banks around the world.
Thomas Cook died in 1892 at the age of 84. The age of the package tour and mass
tourism was born.

Discuss the following questions.
1 When and where was the world’s first package trip arranged?
2 What was it like?
3 What did the Cooks introduce to make travelling easier and more comfortable than it
was before?
4 What do you think the price for a package holiday includes?
5 Are package holidays widely spread in your country?
8
Read the dialogue between a travel agent (A) and a customer (C) who are
talking about one of package holidays called 'from £599 all-inclusive'. For questions 17, choose the correct letter A, B, or C.
1 ‘From £599’ means
2 You can eat
A the lowest price.
B the highest price.
C only bed and breakfast inclusive.
A in your own room.
B in self-catering apartments.
C at any of the resort restaurants.
стр. 3 из 89
3 If you buy a room package
A bed and breakfast will be included.
B bed and breakfast won’t be included.
C you’ll have to pay extra money for meals.
4 Half board means
A all meals included.
B high price.
C two meals included.
5 ‘From £599’ package
A includes optional excursions.
B includes some facilities.
C doesn’t include organised trips.
6 The ‘From £599’ package’s A adults sharing the room.
price depends on
B how many people share the room.
C the room rate.
7 There are discounts
A if you choose a standard room.
B if under three adults share the room.
C for the under 10s.
С: So what does 'from £599 all-inclusive' mean?
A: You pay one price for everything.
С: Everything? Really?
A: The price includes flights, transfers, and accommodation at
the resort.
С: What about meals?
A: Let me explain. You can choose from different packages:
room only, bed and breakfast, half board, or full board. Room
only is the cheapest package, at £599, but you have to buy your meals separately in the
hotel restaurants. This option also includes some self-catering apartments with their own
kitchen, but they are more expensive.
С: So bed and breakfast is only breakfast?
A: That's right. Half board means breakfast and dinner are included, full board includes
all meals. You pay a higher price for full board, but it usually works out
С: OK, and what else is not included in the £599?
A: Optional excursions, and cheaper overall. You can eat at any of the resort restaurants,
there's a small charge for some facilities. For example, a sports massage costs £10.
С: I see. And are there any additional charges?
A: Well, the price is based on two adults sharing a room. There's a single supplement for
one person occupying a double room. That's around £200 - it depends on the room rate.
С: And what about discounts?
A: Well, there's a 15% reduction for a third adult sharing a standard room. And there's a
reduced rate of 25% for children under ten.
С: And is this the price per person?
A: Yes, that's right. Would you like to take one of our brochures? Then you can think about
it.

REPORTED QUESTIONS
When we ask for information, we often say Do you know …? / Could you tell me
… ? etc. If you begin a question like this, the word order is different from a simple
question. The word order in indirect questions is the same as in the statements
(subject + verb).
Compare:
Where has Tom gone?
(simple question)
but
Do you know where Tom has gone? (not ‘Do you know where has Tom gone?’)
36
Convert these direct questions into indirect questions.
Example:
How old are you? – Would you mind telling me how old you are?
1 What’s the time?………………………………………………………………………?
2 When is the next flight to Amsterdam?……………………………………………..?

Read the text then, for questions 1-5, choose the best answer, A, B, C or D.
There are various means of transport at the disposal of those who travel either for
pleasure or on business. If you don't like travelling on foot you can also use a bicycle or a
motor-bike. With motor-car one can travel comfortably for long distances. You can also
travel by sea and modern liners. They are very comfortable for the passengers.
Last Wednesday I went down to Belfast Docks to see my friend off to France on
one of the largest liners. These steamers are huge indeed when you see them from the
landing-stage.
I managed to go on board and have a look round. From top deck I could see the
huge cranes lifting the cargo and depositing it in the holds. I saw members of the crew
carrying out their duties in various parts of the ship while the captain watched the
operations and gave his orders from the bridge. Then the siren sounded and the visitors
left the ship. Finally the ship began to move off, and the passengers, leaning over the rails,
waved good-bye tо their friends standing below. Slowly the ship left the harbour, passing
beyond the pier and gradually disappeared in the distance.
You can go by air as well, as air ships can carry passengers to various parts of the
world very quickly.

A few days later I myself had to go to New York. The journey was urgent and I
went by air. I went to the airport by a special bus provided by the company. On the airfield
we saw a large plane waiting for us. We climbed into it, and in some minutes it took off.
Very soon we saw New York. It wasn't long before we arrived at our destination. The pilot
made a perfect landing and we got out of the plane.
But a lot of people prefer travelling by train, too. Railway is still one of the most
popular means of communication and it is cheap.
Now we are at a big railway station. There are many platforms at which trains
come in and from which they go out. We see a train standing at one of the platforms. It is
ready to leave. Some of the passengers are looking out of the windows. They are watching
the late-comers who are hurrying and looking for empty seats. Many people have come to
see their friends and relatives off. They say goodbye to each other, the porters are very
busy. They are carrying luggage to the train or pushing it on their tracks. On one of the
platforms a train has just come. Some passengers are getting out. This train has made a
long journey. It's an express train. It doesn't stop at each station. There are other trains on
the platform ready to leave. Some of them are stopping trains, some long distance and fast
trains. People are hurrying in all directions. The station-master is in the office next to the
booking-office.
Some people are choosing books, newspapers and magazines for the journey at the
bookstalls. The refreshment rooms are crowded with people, who are having a hasty meal.

WELCOME TO HEATHROW
London’s Heathrow is the busiest
international airport in the world. It handles over
350,000 international flights every year – about 41
million passengers. Around 54,000 people work at
Heathrow, roughly the population of a country
town.
Huge machines wash the airport’s three
runways and clear away the oil left by jet engines.
Burst tyres can cause a crash, so special trucks
continuously check the runways and pick up any
loose pieces of metal. Birds can cause crashes if
they get pulled into the engines, and staff work day and night to keep them away from the
runways. Their trucks have
loudspeakers which send out bird alarm calls and they also use guns with blank cartridges
to frighten the birds away.
In the control tower, 150 air traffic controllers bring the planes in and send them
off safely. As a plane comes in to land, it normally keeps a distance of five or six
kilometres from the planes in front and behind, but in the case of large jumbo jets, the
distance behind has to be 10 kilometres. The air turbulence behind these planes can send a
small plane out of control.
Near the centre of the airport is the police station. It has a huge picture board of
known world terrorists, 14 dogs that can smell drugs and 300 police officers.
There is an aircraft alert almost every day. This happens every time an aircraft
lands with one engine shut down or if the pilot cannot lower the plane’s wheels. The
emergency services can lay a carpet of foam on the runway in less than four minutes.
The Medical Centre has eight nurses and three doctors always on standby. The
most common illness is heart attack. Every year about 30 people die in this way while
travelling to or through Heathrow.

Because of the noise, only a few flights are permitted between midnight and six in the
morning. So during the night Heathrow Airport has its most welcome visitor of all –
silence.
Amazing facts …
• Every year Heathrow handles over 57,000,000 items of baggage.
• There are 9,200 baggage trolleys for passengers – more than at any other airport.
• Airport’s cafes and bars serve over 23,500 cups of coffee and tea and 11,500
sandwiches every day.
• Heathrow’s duty-free shops sell 500 million cigarettes every year.
• For every 10 cm of snow falling on the airport, staff have to remove 74,000 tons of
snow to keep the airport open.
• Heathrow averages around 100 take-offs and landings every day – that’s about one
per minute from 6 a.m. till midnight.
3,000,000 litres of aviation fuel are used every day.
• 70 airlines use Heathrow. They fly direct to 214 destinations in 85 countries.

“When are you leaving?” he asked me. → He asked me when I was leaving.
• When the direct question is a yes/no question and begins with an auxiliary (be, do,
have) or a modal verb (can, may, etc.) then the reported question begins with if or
whether.

made the reservation.

SAFARI HOLIDAYS
If you want to get really close to the Wildlife and
scenery of Africa, then a Safari Holiday offers the
most e x c i t e m e n t a n d b e s t v a l u e f o r m o n e y.
The Right Trucks for Africa
Each of our safari trucks is a safe, reliable vehicle,
which is suited to African travel conditions and allows
you to fully enjoy the areas visited.
Every seat is a window seat and the sides of the truck can be rolled up to provide a
wide space for looking out. We use four-wheel-drive vehicles because roads can be rough
or get washed away, and we don't want to be prevented from visiting interesting areas.
The Safari Team
Three of our employees go on each safari trip, one of whom is the team leader. All
safari team leaders are fully trained and have worked for at least a year on a wide variety
of trips in Africa before they lead their first safari. The team leader is a driver, mechanic,
guide, diplomat and general expert on Africa. He is helped by a second driver, usually a
team leader in training. The third member of the team, the cook, is as important as the
leader. He or she sees that all cooking and camp tasks are completed as smoothly as
possible.
Good Food
Safari Holidays are famous for their open-fire cooking. We stop regularly to buy
fresh fruit, vegetables and meat in local markets and we also have a good supply of things
like tea, coffee, dried milk and tinned food in the truck. All the members of the tour lend a
hand with the food preparation and washing-up, under the experienced eye of the team
cook. At the beginning of each trip, everyone, including the safari team members, pays the
same amount of money into the safari purse and this covers food expenses. All water
carried on the truck is safe to drink and we make sure it never runs out.
Quality Camping Equipment
Each truck carries everything needed for the trip. This includes four-person tents,
used for only two people, air beds, mosquito nets, camp chairs, a fire grill for campfire
стр. 45 из 89
cooking and all necessary cooking equipment, a cool box for storing fresh food,
binoculars, books on Africa and a first-aid kit.
Accommodation
On Safari Holidays, we sometimes camp in an official campsite and sometimes we
put up our tents in wild areas. Some campsites have very basic or no facilities, while at
others hot showers and cold drinks are available. At the start or finish of tours, we usually
have a night in a hotel. These are clean, comfortable and reasonably priced

to stay at while on holidays. Before reading, discuss the following.
 Where do you like to stay if you are on holiday?

city centre near the railway station with their one-year-old
son. They want to be able to walk everywhere. They plan
to eat in restaurants.
2 Giorgos wants to be able to swim, but is not interested in
other sports. He'd like to spend the weekend somewhere
quiet in the country. The hotel must have a car park.
стр. 46 из 89
3 Monica would like to stay somewhere in the countryside
where there are organised activities so that she can meet
other people. As she has some work to do, e-mail facilities
must be available.
4 Adam and Barbara need to stay somewhere in the city
which provides lunch and dinner and has a car park. Their
three children all enjoy sport.
5 Julia and Robert are travelling by car and want to park at
heir hotel. They don't want to bе further than ten
kilometres from the city. They want to swim every day and
have dinner at the hotel.
A The Star Hotel is a five minute drive from the city centre, and all rooms have their own
television and telephone. Guests can eat all their meals here – breakfast, lunch and
dinner. The hotel has its own large car park. There is a gym and two tennis courts.
Entertainment is available at weekends.
B York House is between two farms. The hotel arranges dances and other events which
you can attend if you wish, or you can walk in the gardens and enjoy the scenery. It is

Last summer I spent ten of days at a fantastic
of
hotel on the island of Jamaica.
√
The Jamaica is an exotic island in
the Carribean. The name of the
hotel was called “Island Fun”. It certainly
was fun. I met a lot of young people. We
went for swimming every day and dancing
every night. My room was as large and
decorated in a typical island style.
The walls were painted with white, the window
and door frames were been painted a magnificent
blue and all the furniture was made up
of hand-carved wood. The hotel also had
a lovely dining room, delicious food on,
and a bar on the roof. It
was the most best holiday I ever had and I’m
planning to go to Jamaica again the next summer too.

The Czech Republic is enjoying a tourist boom that has become increasingly
important to the country's economy. In 1994, tourism accounted for £1.5 billion which is
expected to soon rise by ten per cent. "Tourism, one of our top foreign exchange earners,
is very important to the country," says Jiri Cech, director of the Tourism Department.
1
More than 17 million tourists came to explore the various sights of Prague, known
as the "Golden City", in 1994, and the boom continues. Private business people have
improved the Czech capital with new shops, restaurants and cafes.
2
Although plans to build a luxury hotel were opposed, the capital has attracted
several of the world's leading hotel groups - including Hyatt, Hilton International and
Holiday Inn. These hotels bid for sites and contracts in the Czech capital. "We are optimistic about the prospects in Prague, especially for conventions and meetings," says
Daniel Durand, manager of the Prague Hilton Atrium Seated near the city centre.
3
What makes Prague special, however, are small friendly hotels like the Villa
Voyta. This quiet and architecturally beautiful hotel, built in 1921, has ^come the first in
the country to be accepted into the exclusive Small Luxury Hotels of the World
Association.
4
Foreign tourists are also beginning to discover attractions outside the capital,
pouring cash directly into the farthest corners of the country. "It is very important for us to
expand the options available for visitors exploring the Czech countryside," observes Jiri
Cech.
5
The most popular site after Prague is the south Bohemian town of Cesky Krumlov,
situated above the Austrian border. Its castle houses the oldest surviving baroque theatre
in the world, complete with stage sets, costumes and a library of opera libretti. Thousands
of such castles and chateaux, many in excellent condition, cover the Bohemian and
Moravian landscapes, and many historic towns are renovating their ancient squares. Those
looking for unspoilt nature can explore the Sumava region close to the Austrian and
German borders, an area still rich in wildlife.
6
стр. 66 из 89
The Czech Tourism Department is trying to encourage greater investment in
facilities outside Prague to try to lessen the strain on the already crowded capital. What the
Minister would like most is an even spread of tourism across the whole country rather than
the concentration on Prague. Indeed the city is finding it difficult to cope with the tourists
in terms of accommodation, transportation and the sewage system. "For me the perfect
world would be to have nature lovers wandering in the Bohemian hills, or hiking in the
Sudeten mountains, and culture seekers visiting the castles of Moravia before a stop in the
musical city of Prague," says Mr Cech.
7
There are many destinations to explore in the Czech Republic, which is busy
restoring pre-war greatness. Whether the country gets full benefit from the still growing
influx of tourists depends on how successful it is in offering more facilities while preserving its old world atmosphere.
8
In small groups, discuss your answers to the following questions.
 Would you like to visit the Czech Republic? Why? Why not?
 Would you rather stay in a large or small hotel? Why?
 Would you visit the city centre or the farthest corners of the country? Why?

10 The trip finishes where it started.
See Tasmania!
Rich in an old world charm and with
magnificent National Parks, Tasmania is well
covered by a good road network. Light traffic
and wonderful views make driving these roads
a pleasure. Though the bus system is reliable, on
many routes services may only run once daily.
So hire a car and see this beautiful and
interesting island at your own speed.
There is a variety of places to stay, and
although booking is strongly advised,
particularly at peak holiday times,it should not be too difficult to arrange things as you go, if
you prefer. We sell you a set of Taz Hotel Pass vouchers and Tasmania is yours. The Taz Hotel
Pass offers the visitor a simple and convenient way to stay anywhere in Australia. Each hotel
ticket is paid for in advance and is for one night's accommodation. There is no maximum or
minimum number of hotel tickets you can buy, and we will give you your money back on
unused tickets, less a small administrative charge. Taz Hotels are divided into simple colour
categories with Ruby being the most basic and Diamond representing the highest quality.
We recommend that you buy a mixture of
tickets as we cannot give you your money
back if you use a higher value ticket when
staying at a lower value hotel. If you travel
to an area where Taz have no hotels, then
we will find other reasonably-priced
accommodation for you in exchange for
your Taz tickets.
rHere
is the planned route for our holiday in Tasmania:
Day 1: Arrive Hobart airport, pick up your car and spend some time in the capital,
perhaps driving up to the Old Signal Station on Mount Nelson.
Day 2: Drive through the Derwent Valley, stopping at Russell Falls. Later the scenery
becomes even more amazing as you pass Lake St Clair National Park. Spend the night in
the fishing town of Strahan.
Day 3: We take you on a half-day cruise from Strahan on the famous Gordon River.
Then set off for a leisurely drive to Cradle Mountain National Park.
Day 4: Enjoy the wild beauty of the Park. Go fishing or horse-riding. Or walk around
beautiful Dove Lake, from where there are wonderful views of the mountain itself.
Day 5: Explore the fascinating country towns as you drive north and along the coast to
Launceston, Tasmania's second largest city.
Day 6: A pleasant drive through peaceful countryside to Hobart. On route, you pass the
стр. 68 из 89
charming towns of Ross and Oatlands. Return to the airport in time for your flight.
