Boy, tourism really is a big business these days. It’s amazing. It involves hotels, _____, restaurants, shops, and thousands of people. The tourism companies keep telling us what a good thing it is... About how much we can learn about people and customs, but sometimes I wonder if this is really true.

A couple that I know _____ last summer. They traveled with a tour group. It’s _____ to compare their experiences with some of the experiences of other people in the same tour group. My friends, fortunately had some _____, or friends, actually, along the _____ of their tour. In some of the cities they were going to , they knew some local people. When they got to _____places, they could go out with some of the local people and they could eat some of the local food and maybe see some of the local sights.

Other members of the tour group, however, never _____ the group at all, They never went out and did a thing on their own. Of course, the tour company leaves it _____much up to the people to do whatever they want.

I understand why people wouldn’t go out on their own because of the language problems and being a little bit afraid. But it seems to me that the more tourists can _____local people, the better everyone is. If tour companies _____ that, everyone really would learn about other people and other customs.
