XII. Read the passage and decide whether the following statements are TRUE or FALSE.
Travel and tourism are very important to millions of people over the world. In every
country you can find people that work in these fields. Some countries need the money from

tourism to help their people survive. It is necessary for these places that travel and tourism
continue to expand and bring money to their regions.
However, travel and tourism also have negative aspects. Planes, buses, boats and other
means of transportation that carry travellers and tourists cause pollution. Moreover, some
people do things during their holiday which they would never think of doing at home. For
example, many travellers use a lot of water and electricity when they stay in hotels. They
forget to turn off the lights or even leave televisions and air-conditioning units on when they
leave the room. On top of that, it is often difficult or impossible for travellers to recycle items,
so they end up leaving large amounts of waste behind. That's why it is important for people to
travel wisely and respect the places they visit.
There are ways you can travel and be environmentally friendly. Here are some tips to help
you:
- Don't throw rubbish on streets, beaches or in the countryside. Use bins. Don't throw
anything into the sea, especially plastic bags. Every year many turtles and other sea
animals die after swallowing plastic bags.
- Don't use too much water or electricity. Many parts of the world have not got enough
water.
- Taste the local and national dishes of the country. This is an important part of your
experience and can be lots of fun, while supporting local farming.
- Don't buy any products made from endangered species but do buy local products or
souvenirs. This helps people keep their jobs and will help you remember your trip and
share the experience with friends and family.
