     Today business in tourism is prosperous due to raising living standard and income elevation. Everybody begins traveling to enjoy life. As a matter of fact, many tourism companies are in tough competition whenever important international events begin such as the Olympia Game to be held in Beijing in year 2008. Many attractions in China are introduced in tourist guides and sightseeing tours are springing up. But why promote ¡§tourism¡¨ ? What activities are involved in tourism?

     Tourism is another industry with less pollution than traditional industry. Unlike traditional industry, tourism can avoid any contamination to soil, water, or air. At the same time, tourism makes enormous benefits to economy. When tourists are traveling, they need to pay tickets for showplace, amusement park, hotel, restaurants, air flight and coach. The margin profits earned from their consumption can boost local economy and increase employment opportunities. By tourism, a region or country can make known its unique characters to promote its reputation. For these three reasons,   many governments are developing hard to promote tourism in their cities and scenic spots.

     Generally speaking, when a tour is planned by a travel agency, it is responsible for arrangement of food and boarding, transportation, traveling permits like passport and visa, safety and insurance, government regulations, sightseeing and entertainment like cultural appreciation, casino, and shopping. There are many things for a tour company to do before and during the trip. For instance, a clerk may find out food and diet information of the tour members if some of them do not take certain type of food due to personal habit. Sometimes they have to find out certain types of food are not available in the cities they are visiting. For instance, people don¡¦t trust much on the water quality in Mainland China. So the company will prepare bottled mineral water from Taiwan for the trip.

     During the trip, cultural appreciation and entertainment are the most important. Local tour guide will bring people to see prominent buildings of a city. For instance, the high-rising Taipei 101 must be seen by foreigners because it represents the modern side of Taiwan. On the other hand, they will visit National Palace Museum because the place exhibits treasures collected by emperors of many dynasties in ancient China. The museum collections let people know the great deeds accomplished by our great ancestors. People will have fun in casino and shopping mall. These are places to spend money. Tourists have to be careful before signing their names on credit cards.

     Still tourism destroys environment but its warning usually is ignored by visitors and is in vain. Tourists are curious of the things which they have never seen before. Unconsciously, they may pluck flowers or touch antique exhibit, but not on purpose. They can be forgiven. However, some visitors destroy environment on purpose. They should not be pardoned. For instance, they spit or litter as they like just because of convenience. These people do not abide law to keep public order and their misconduct is a shame to their country. If there are many such tourists, a city may set laws to restrict them to enter into the country. This restriction will hurt both sides. So when we are visiting a country, we must behave well. Otherwise, we won¡¦t see the beautiful and wonderful world.
