Part 5. EXERCISES
Exercise 3
Read the passage and answer the questions.
Tourism has become a popular global leisure activity. In 2008, there were over 922 million international tourist arrivals, with a
growth of 1.9% as compared to 2007. International tourism receipts grew to US$944 billion (euro 642 billion) in 2008,
corresponding to an increase in real terms of 1.8%.
Tourism is vital for many countries, such as Egypt, Greece, Lebanon, Spain and Thailand, and many island nations, such as The

Bahamas, Fiji, Maldives, and the Seychelles, due to the large intake of money for businesses with their goods and services and
the opportunity for employment in the service industries associated with tourism. These service industries include
transportation services, such as airlines, cruise ships and taxicabs, hospitality services, such as accommodations, including
hotels and resorts, and entertainment venues, such as amusement parks, casinos, shopping malls, music venues and theatres.
