Tourism
The desire to get away from everyday trouble and tension is so great today. Tourism is the best way to satisfy it. Travel gives you an opportunity to relax, to do some sightseeing; it broadens your mind and world outlook. So, everybody is on the move in the summer months. Tourism can be considered as an entertainment and as a rest. It can be very useful and it also can give us a lot of interesting and curious information. To rest means visiting sights, resorts, walking tours to the forest, to the lake-side and so on. If we talk about travelling as a kind of job we mean a business trip and an official journey. Some people go on a business trip to very attractive towns and countries, but unfortunately they do not have enough time to visit museums, interesting places, to do some sightseeing.
Tourism can be organized and can be not. Travelling companies and agencies offer us an organized travelling. The unorganized rest is, when you shoulder the responsibility for a trip, when you plan the route, provide the transport, assure an accommodation and provide yourself with food. Certainly, all of it is not so simple, as it looks at first sight. It is much easier to appeal to a travel firm.
There are a lot of different agencies in our town, which offer services of holiday organization. The employees of such firms will help you to select the most suitable trip, excursions, hotels and so on, according to your possibilities.
If you are going to visit a foreign country, you should appeal to a tourist agency beforehand. The inhabitants of our republic should receive a visa to enter many countries that is a special sanction. In some cases a whole week for registration of the documents can be required. For obtaining a visa you should fill in a special form, a kind of a questionnaire, an employee of the firm will help you to make it, if it is necessary.
In a travelling company you will be answered all the questions you are interested in, about the accommodation, meals, the journey. A brief video-film about a planned trip can be demonstrated, you also can look through the price-list. They also will advise you the most convenient kind of transport. In summer period charter planes trips have a wide circulation that is very convenient, fast and rather cheap.
If you wish to travel within the CIS, you can organize your rest independently. You can select any kind of transport you like best of all: a car, an automobile, a bus, a train, a plane. Undoubtedly, the fastest and the most suitable type of transport is the plane, but it is also the most expensive one. Therefore most people prefer to travel by train or by bus.
If you are going to have a rest in summer, you should take care of the tickets in advance, because you simply won't be able to get them. A ticket can be reserved by telephone or directly in an advance booking office. It is also necessary to think about a return ticket. After that you can reserve a room in a hotel of the town, where you are going to spend some time. You can reserve a single, a double room or apartments.
If I had an opportunity, I would visit Great Britain and the USA with great pleasure. China also attracts me very much. I think that some day my dream will come true. I can not affirm, that I traveled a lot in my life, nevertheless, last year my parents and I spent one week in St.-Petersburg. We arrived there by train, all the trip took only one night, and in the morning we were in St.-Petersburg. We stayed at our relatives' place. We visited several interesting places, museums and theatres. After that travelling we have a lot of photos and wonderful impressions.
