When some people think of traveling, they think of expensive cruise and hotels or sightseeing tours to famous places. However, travel has changed a lot in recent years. Now, not all travel is expensive. And these days there is an enormous variety of possibilities for people of all interests. In our country there are thousands places where pwople may have adventure, fun, and education at the same time. For example, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, San Francisco, and San Diego. There are so many interesting places to visit in San Diego. For example, San Diego zoo, museums, Miramar Speed Circuit, Whale watch Cruise, acquariums, ice town, and many different tours. During the some days in tour people not just have a fun, but they can learn something new. A few years ago a tourism wasn't so major like nowadays. Today there are so many attractions. People can spend their free time where they want and how they like to.

There are many different attractions in Mexico but some of the major ones are El Zocalo of Mexico City which is the heart of the city, the site of event, festivals, protest. Also in El Zocalo you will find the Metropolitan Cathedral, and the National Palace. Another attraction is the National Anthropology Museum where you will find the famous Aztec Calendar. The beaches of Cancun, Quintana Roo, Acapulco, etc. Guadalajara with their mariachis. You can also visit Teotihuacan to see the Temple of Quetzalcoatl, you can also walk along the Avenue of the Dead, climb the Pyramid of the Sun and Pyramid of the Moon. Also you can visit which is call now one of the seven wonders of the world Chichen Itza in Yucatan. Another major tourist attraction of Mexico is the Basilica Of Guadalupe which is the most visited religious site of the country because the Virgin of Guadalupe is the patroness of Mexico and a very important national symbol, in the Basilica you can see the mantle of Juan Diego with her image. I don’t know if tourism help the people understand each other but I’m sure that tourist can get an idea of how cultures are different. In Mexico tourism has increased in the past decades except last year when the H1N1 was first appearing. I think the factor that most affect tourism is the fact that Mexico is one of the most dangerous countries of the world because of crimes, drugs and corruption is helping this to keep growing.

In my country, the most famous tourist attraction are mainly religious buildings like the Pecherska Lavra and the St. Sofia Cathedral in Kiev. These are really famous and expensive buildings. They are made with real gold and jewels. Tourism helps people understand one another and helps to share culture and ideas with one another. In the past tourism was only for rich people and people were only allowed to visit certain places. With communism being a major factor, many countries were not open for tourism at all. Today, you can go almost anywhere and you do not have to be filth rich to do so. Of course there are still communist counties like North Korea and Cuba, but there are still more options now a days. I think that in the past tourism was not as big of a deal as now. In the past, history was still being made, and now we go back and tour the places where it was made. People want to tour the places that are filled with history. They want to see famous, ancient, and cultural places. They want to see places where something big happened.

Iran has lot to offer to the tourists. The major attraction in Iran consists of the major cities like Tehran, Shiraz, and Tabriz, Mashhad, Yazd and many other places. Esfahan has been stamped as an UNESCO Heritage Site and stands as a major attraction in Iran. The castles, palaces, museums have always stood as important attractions in Iran to the tourists. The places in Iran with natural attractions are the national parks, ski areas, waterfalls, lakes etc. The Maroon Waterfall and the Shalmash waterfalls have attracted tourists touring in Iran.The ski areas like the Dizin, Shemshak and Alvares has attracted people interested in skiing. Tourism can assist people to communicate better and understand each other in a better way. Technology in particular has advanced more in these last 100 years, there are a lot of advertisements in internet and TV attract tourists, These days, company’s intention to implement Internet technology to market and promote their products and services on the Web is accepted by visitors as it allows them to make purchases online. Main factor to be considered for affecting tourism is a political situation, political Aspects Security concerns over travel have had a serious impact on the travel and tourism industry, leading to: Challenge is to protect travellers as they move across this huge industry using: Rail, Airports, Hotels and restaurants, Cruise ships, Buses. Airport security seen as priority, so attracts investment.

What can I say about it? This theme is interesting and exciting. First of all, I would say that tourism plays important part in people’s lives. It is very popular nowadays. To my mind, tourism is a part of our society. It maintains diplomatic, financial, commercial, culture and scientific relations with many countries of the world. Besides, tourism helps to promote educational and technical co operations among different nations. That’s why; one of the characteristic features of life in our country today is a great interest in the sphere of touristy. More and more people prefer to travel because tourism brings us much useful information, we meet people of other nations, it gives us possibility to communicate with the representatives of the international business organizations. I believe that it helps young people of different countries to develop friendship and understanding. My point of view is that tourism and travel one of the world’s largest foreign exchange earner among industries, provides employment directly to millions of people worldwide and indirectly through many associated service industries. Speaking about tourism over the last few decades, there has been an upmarket trend in it, especially in Europe. The development in technology and other spheres of life have made many types tourism more affordable. I consider that touristy makes a considerable role for progress and its influence is necessary and useful. The main factors which affect tourism are:

I was born in Soviet Union, the country with closed foreign tourism. We knew about others countries only from geography classes and traveling out of country was an unreal dream. But time changed. Now I live in the United States and tourism in Russia has seen rapid growth since the late Soviet times. Most popular tourism destinations are located in Moscow and Saint Petersburg, cultural capitals of Russia. Tourists are attracted by the rich heritage and a difficult past of Russia. These cities contains a great variety of impressive churches like Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, museums like Hermitage, squares like Red Square and Palace Square, Grand Cascade in Peterhof, streets like Tverskaya and Nevsky Prospect, fortifications like Moscow Kremlin along with modern buildings. Also there are thousands of other fascinating places in Russia, for example Lake Baikal, named the Blue Eye of Siberia. This unique lake, oldest and deepest in the world, has crystal-clean water and is surrounded by taiga and mountains. Scientists say that Lake Baikal is a twin sister to Lake Tahoe. In my opinion tourism in the world help understand each other. Then more people traveling, then more knowledge they acquiring and it is always interesting communicate and easy to understand those people. There are many factors that effect tourism but I think the main one is economic situation of the country.

In my country Iran we have lots of ancient place for visit, but unfortunately the government doesn’t care so much about tourism and touristy, and doesn’t care how could be so important for economy of our country .also we have lot of rules that tourists aren’t comfortable with that like curtain I mean all woman’s must to cover their body except their face. I think if the government wants to improve tourism economy to this country supposed to cut this rules. Some country knew that and we saw in the last ten years how they change their country just by care about tourism economy ,like UAE .Iran is one of the biggest country in middle east with 68,017,900 population and 1,648,000 land Area(sq kms) means 636,296.10(sq miles).almost half of the india.some of the tourist attraction in Iran are:

A lot of tourists go to vietnam for the scenary. The place i see most tourists in vietnam is Saigon. A lot of people say it is like a New York in vietnam. It is cool because there are a lot of lights there and it is beautiful. Also, they serve american food there too. Usually in my country they do not have american food anywhere. But in Saigon, they have KFC and McDonalds. It is very different from having it in American but i thought it was awesome to see that. Also, they have a water park too. Usually it is always raining there but it is so hot. It is fun to go to the water park becuase it is raining while we are having fun. I think tourism helps the world know about each other. It is good to understand other cultures and countries. A lot has changed within a few decades because things change in the world.

The Mexican Republic has the most pretty places to see. Most of the towns are very typical with white houses covered with red tile roofs. But each town has its own signature that is their plazas. It is normally located in the center of town. In the plaza people gather everyday to spend their afternoons or evenings together in company of family, friends and visitors. Each plaza is different and it has its own beauty.

The major tourist attraction in my country is the Great Wall. It is one of the nine wonders in the world. It has 8851.8miles long. It is the longest country wall that had ever built. Its purpose is to defend China from the north. It has more than two thousand years of history. It is magnificent when people standing at the highest peak of the Great Wall and look out side. Today, it has become a famous traveling spot where most tourists dreamed of. Everyday, there are hundreds of thousand people traveling there to see its view. You should go there too.

Back in my country there are many places where you can take a vacation and relax. There are mountains and black sea in the south of the country. There are many forests and also cities each with it’s own history. You can find many museums, statues and architectures. For example in my home town, Kiev, which is 1850 years old, there are orthodox churches which are older than 1000 years. Kiev is a major historical place, which attracts millions of people to visit. Over all tourism affects economy in the country. It affects development of the country as well as motivates to maintain the cities and places, which tourists visit, in good shape. Tourism is very popular in the whole world. People dream about traveling and visiting different countries and learning about new cultures.

In my country, Major tourist attraction are beaches. My country has many famous beaches, especially are Nha Trang, Phan Thiet, Halong bay. Tourism is also major economic in my country. Each year have many tourists visit my country about 20 million people. Summer is busiest reason for travel because the climate is perfect in year. Almost tourists like my country because Vietnamese are friendly. They always smile with tourist .I think tourism in the world help people understand each other. Tourist will know culture where they are traveling. Tourists also share their culture to other culture. That’s why tourism helps people understand each other. The tourism also changed over the past few decades. The tourism is important in the world today. Many countries earned much money from tourism. That’s why today has many new destinations in the world and famous place are Hawaii, Roma, Miami…people live without tourism will be boring and won’t know any culture on the world.

Russia has a lot of attractions, for example Moscow and St.Petersburg. This is the heartland of Russia, and these great and ancient cities often become the focus for most guests. However, there is much more about Russia, a country that spans eleven time zones, ending less than 85 km from North America. Within this vast expanse lie the largest freshwater lake in the world, rivers and forests teeming with fish and wildlife, awe inspiring volcanoes, and towering mountains. Russia is the largest country of the Earth, with enormous tracts of land, its natural and cultural heritage waiting to be discovered. The most popular tourist attractions are the old Russian cities of Vladimir, Suzdal, Sergiev Posad, Pereyaslavl Zalessky, Rostov, Uglitch, Yaroslavl and Kostroma, the biggest gems of Russia's Golden Ring.The Moscow Kremlin, the beautiful and ancient ensemble stands high on the hill towering over the left bank of the Moskva river. The Kremlin has always been perceived as a symbol of power and might of the Russian state, the national idea expressed in stone. It is the oldest part of the city, its political, historic and cultural centre, and the seat of the country's highest bodies of power. The Red Square (Russian: "Krasnaya Ploshchad"), the main square in Moscow and Russia, the Red Square together with the Kremlin make a harmonious architectural ensemble. The old Russian "red" meant "handsome", "the best", "the main". The Red Square witnessed many important events in the history of the Russian state. In my opinion tourism in the world help understand each other. Then more people traveling, then more knowledge they acquiring and it is always interesting communicate and easy to understand those people. Everyday, there are hundreds of thousand people traveling there to see this beautiful country. You should go there too.

The country that I had the chance to be a part of and reside for a part of my life, the place I learned how to do most of the thing I know how to do now. It has quite a lot of places where tourist might want to go to get some r&r or just relax it the sun, we had lots of land marks that people came just to see. But the place that is the most papeler in my former country is the black sea, people from all around the world came there to see, and spend some time at the magnificent beauty and peace, I mean to have the ability to be in water but flote on it without been afraid of drowning is a God given gift for the world to enjoy on a daily bases. Do I think tourism helps people understand each other? I don’t think it gouse that fare but it does give people a prospective on the place people come from and why they can be the way they are in life and in generality. Tourism has changed lots in the last few years in a meager way, first there is terrorist traits and people been afraid to go to a big place with people they don’t know, and sometimes don’t even want to get to know, then there’s the fun factor people want something more like rolocosters wild life and thing that will entertain them and there families. People become so self sintered and selfish that they can just stop and enjoy all that God has made for us to marwol at, people want something more fun, something that will get them out of this world and take them somewhere where they never even damp of. I reasantly so a preview of a new move called avatar with something called Pandora, that what peole are looking for they don’t need life they need imagination assistance. Someone ales to raze there kids because there to beze with their self searching. The thing that affects tourism the most is the aw factor that people are looking for, something more than they are yoused to in life or where they come from. People want more then they can handle, to be content but the only contentment we will ever feel or see is if we find are purpose in life.

My country is big so there is a lot of places that are interesting to visit for a tourist. I'll tell you the major ones like San Petersburg, Moscow were the Kremlin and the red squire is located and Sochi which stands by black sea. I think write now there is more tourism then it was any time in the world. The modern inventions like airplanes and trains help it a lot. I think tourism helps people understand each other better. Like for an American if he comes to Russia he will se a totally different coulter from his and will understand Russians better. A lot of factors affect tourism first of all the peoples interests. Which are made by movies, books and news from all over the world. For example I was watching a movie and I saw Mexico my interests raised and I went to sea Mexico with my own eyes . I think its good to travel sometimes you learn something new and its fun.

In Ukraine there are so many beautiful places especially in Kiev.Kiev is a wonderful city full of diverse culture and heritage that is able to reveal new sides of interest upon each visit.Tourist have a possibility to get a acquainted with the history and culture of Ukraine from ancient to modern times.Also Kiev is the third greenest capital city in all Europe.The parks spread across the city and run alongside the beautiful Dnipro River.Some streets are like forests, with glimpses through the branches of art balconies,vibrant cafes,and beautiful sculptures.Many years ago when I was young I had visited this city. I have a lot of memories and pictures of this place.I think tourism in the world can help people understand each other only a little bit but it's always interesting to see attractive places of the world.I don't know how has tourism changed over the past few decades.It's still too expensive to travel around the world or visit to some other wonderful place.It always depends on the economy and money for everybody.

To me tourism, is visiting places you have never been to before. Tourism is going somewhere new, interesting and exciting. In the USA, there are a lot of places we can go to, to have a good time and learn something new. Many major cities are visited by people all over the world. Such cities and states are San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego in California, Las Vegas in Nevada, Miami in Florida, and the states of Hawaii and Alaska. Tourism is interesting. Since so many different people come to tour a place, it is very multicultural and diverse. In cities that are visited by tourists frequently, you will most definitely find different types of restaurants, dances and music from different cultures and a diverse style. Also, in these cities there is a lot of buildings and oceans and nature to look at and enjoy. This is what makes tourism fun and exciting.

Ukraine is a beautiful country with ancient history. It has own original culture and arts. Ukraine has many interesting places to travel. In winter you can go to the Carpathian Mountains and enjoy friendly and inexpensive service, stunning vistas and good food. It is a great place to ski and spend time with a jolly company of friends. In the mountains every moment is special, you will enjoy a lot!

Tourist is very important part of economic of the country. Tourist help bring people all over the world to country and it take a role to helps the economic of the country. Vietnam is a small country in Asia that along the ocean. Vietnam is famous with many beautiful beaches and cities. Without tourist people will not know about our beaches and cities. It helps bring people to Vietnam. Not only to Vietnam, but tourists also brought people around the world closer together from learning each other custom and culture. Tourists are very fast developing and become so popular in the past few years. These day people are travel a lot and it helps all the country to earn profit from tourist. People life will be no fun and bored without tourist.

My country, Romania, has beautiful places to visit. We have mountains and we have the Black sea. The beaches at the Black see are beautifully. They are very large and have nice sand. There are a lot of restaurants just on the beach with a variety of food at affordable prices. There is also one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen, Delta Danube. It is naturally preserved and has a huge variety of birds and animals. People there are very friendly and offer bed and meal for all day. They cook many specific dishes from fish which are very …very good. Romania has also many castles built from 14th or 15th century. I really like Bran Castle or Huneazilor Castle.
