There are four main islands for you to choose from, each with their own special atmosphere. The gorgeous climate boast more than 300 days a year of guaranteed sunshine, making the islands the ideal setting for a beach holiday. The long hot summer stretches form May to October, with temperatures around 27 o C – just right for relaxing and getting a tan. The islands offer a number of attractions for tourists. Sun-seekers will love the fabulous beaches. Fun-seekers will enjoy the exciting nightlife – the clubs and discos of Ibiza provide plenty of entertainment for young people. But there’s more to these islands than sun and fun. You can also enjoy wonderful architecture. (The Gothic cathedral at Palma is well worth visiting), hilltop villages, olive groves, great food, and hidden beaches. You can take a relaxing fishing or sailing trip, or go to one of the many festivals. If you go in June, don’t miss the spectacular Fiesta of San Juan at Ciutadella on Minorca. Whatever you want from a holiday, the Balearics will help you find it. Focus on the verbs and fill out the table below: Climate Geography Natural feature Main attractions Others location Reading 2: 6
Pre-reading: Is tourism always beneficial to the people of the host country? What drawbacks might there be for a country which is heavily dependent on tourism? How might tourism affect traditional ways of life? Skim and scan: Tick those the author mentions in the reading a- Property prices have gone up b- Native burial grounds have been dug up c- Traditional ceremonies have been commercially exploited d- Hawaiians no longer speak their own language e- Hawaiians have had to move from their lands in order to make way for tourist facilities f- Street crime is on the increase g- The fishing industry has suffered as a result of tour-boating Aloha! Welcome to paradise Tourism has meant an invasion of all that is sacred to our people. Our culture has been turned into a “hula marketing” campaign. We are romanticized, to appeal to the fantasies of world travellers. Popular images show smiling, flower adorned girls and hula dancers, exotic moonlit feasts with natives serving hand and foot. This kind of marketing and promotion perpetuates racist and sexist stereotypes that are culturally inappropriate and demeaning. It sells an artificial cultural image with complete disregard for the truth. Meanwhile the ground is literally cut away from beneath us. Last year, on the southern shores of Kauai at a development site called Keonaloa, a well-known ancient Hawaiian burial ground was excavated to make way for a condominium resort project. Community opposition saved one acre to relocate all the graves excavated from a total of 22 acres of burial grounds incorporated into the planned resort and will be used as a marketing feature of the development. Native Hawaiians will continue to be angered at such disregard for sacred sites and the bones of our ancestors, whose spirits will be further desecrated by the inquisitive stares of flocks of tourists. On Maui Island, at a place called Honokahua, a developer’s excavations unearthed over 1,100 intact burial bundles, wile local community groups protested in anger. It took mass demonstrations before the developer stopped. Elsewhere we have not been so lucky, losing a Supreme Court ruling to prevent drilling on religious sites. 7
