TRAVELLING

Millions of people all over the world spend their holidays travelling. They travel to see other countries and continents, modern cities and the ruins of ancient towns, they travel to enjoy picturesque places or just for a change of scene. It is alwas interesting to discover new things, different ways of life, to meet different people, to try different food, to listen to different musical rhythms. Those who live in the country like to go to a big city and spend their time viting museums and art galleries, looking at shop windows and dining at exotic restaurants. City- dwellers usually like a quiet holiday by the sea or in the mountains, with nothing to do but walk, bathe, and laze in the sun.

Most travellers and holiday-makers take a camera with them and take pictures of

everything that interests them — the sights of a city, old churches and castles, views of mountains, lakes, valleys, plains, waterfalls, forests; different kinds of trees, flowers and plants, animals and birds. Later, perhaps years later, they will be reminded by the photos of the happy time thes have had. People travel by train, by plane, by boat and by car.

All means of travel have their advantages and disadvantages. And people choose one according to their plans and destinations. If we are fond of travelling, we see and learn a lot of things that we can never see or learn at home, though we may read about them in books and newspapers, and see pictures of them on TV. The best way to study geography is to travel, and the best way to get to know and understand the people is to meet them in their own homes.

Business trip  

   Business trips are just part of doing business. A company tries to choose only its best people to represent it. Trips can happen in or out of the country. And there are as many reasons to go on a business as there are places to go: to sign contracts, to discuss terms of delivery, payment or shipment, to have tests, to consult, to improve one’s professional skills, to provide support. Representatives of the companies involved usually make preliminary arrangements in order to meet. Whether a long-term or short-term trip, the itinerary must be carefully planned by the head of a department or another executive. After the trip, an employee is ordinarily expected to give a full financial accounting of the trip to his boss. Sightseeing, cultural events and just plain relaxing are a regular part of every business trip. And no businessman would dare forget to buy gifts for relatives, friends and colleagues while on a business trip to an interesting, new location. These trips are important because they contribute to the expansion of a company’s business relationships and help that company succeed in the competitive world market. 

 

Business today is international in character, and business people often have to travel. On a business trip people might meet colleagues and business partners for the first time. Often, colleagues from different countries experience cultural difficulties, that is, they are surprised by strange, to them, social conventions in a new place. Different cultures do things differently! Management styles also differ from country to country. It’s often useful when doing business in a foreign land, to get some advice from a special agency which consults on questions of international business. These days business trips are very important because face to face meetings are more valuable to profitable business than any other type of strategy.

Isabell Dussart is a publisher. She works in London for Hachette, the French publishing company. Next month, she has a meeting in New York. She doesn’t know New York, so she ask an American colleague, Larry, about it.

 

Isabell:    Larry, could you tell me a little about New York?

Larry:     Sure. What would you like to know?

Isabell:  It is expensive?

Larry:   It depends of what is your budget?

Isabell: $ 520 a day. How much is hotel room?

Larry:        Between $ 150 and $ 300. How many days are you staying there?

Isabell:      Three.

Larry:       Where are you working?

Isabell:      At the Rockefeller Centre — 5th Avenue and 51st street. Are there any hotel in

             that part of town?

Larry: Of course. But Rockefeller Centre is a business Centre. It’s not very interesting

       at night. What do you want to do in the evenings?

Isabell:    Go to restaurant, go swimming or maybe go to the ballet.

Larry:  There are some great restaurants in New York and there is usually a ballet at

       Lincoln Centre. Choose hotel in that area.

Isabell:    Where is that?

Larry: Mit down. Just off Central Park.

Isabell:    That is dangerous, isn’t it?

Larry: Not at all. During the day it’s full of people having lunch, jogging, horseback

        riding. It’s a great place.

Isabell:     Where can I find a list of hotels? Is there a quide?

Larry: There are several. I will lend you one.

Isabell:     What about getting around?

Larry:  Don’t use the subway. It’s not very safe or clean. There are lots of yellow cabs.

        They are not very expensive.

Isabell:  Thank for your help.

Larry: It’s a pleasure.
