Faster planes and cheaper flight are making it easier than ever before for people to travel. In the most ‘developed’ societies, visiting exotic places is a sought-after status symbol. The tourism industries of both developed and developing countries have recognized this fact and are learning to take advantage of it.

There are, however, some problems associated with this new industry. Firstly, there is the increasing crime rate. Some locals see tourist as an easy prey because, not only are they in unfamiliar territory and therefore less able to take care of themselves, but also the carry visible items of wealth, such as cameras and jewelry which can be disposed of quickly for profit.

Another major problem is health. With greater mobility comes greater danger of spreading contagious diseases around the world. One carrier returning home could easily start an epidemic before their illness was diagnosed. Moreover, the emergence of many diseases which resist antibiotics is causing scientists to be increasingly concerned about this issue.

Also to be considered is the natural environment, which can be seriously threatened by too many visitors. Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, for example, is in danger of being destroyed by tourist and there are plans to restrict visitors to some of the more delicate coral cays

There are just three of the reasons why any country should be wary of committing itself to an extensive tourism development program.

What is called 'chocolate liquor'?

Dear Nancy,

We are having a great a holiday here on the Gold Coast. Yesterday we went to the Movie World.

When we got up in the morning, it looked like rain. After a while the cloud disappeared and it became a sunny day. Then we decided to go to the Movie World.

The first ride I went on was Lethal Weapon. Next, I watch the Police Academy show. After that I had lunch because I was really hungry. Meanwhile, Mum and Kelly queued for the Batman ride.

About one o’clock, we got a light shower of rain but it cleared up soon after. Then we went on all the other rides.

It was a top day. See you when you get back.

Love,

Sam
