Activity 2 1 List at least five functional or operational features of the international destinations that need to be identified and obtained to meet different customer needs. 1. Achieving peace of mind { to know if the place is peaceful I' qui te) Most of the people live in the city. Our daily routine involves navigating through urban landscapes on crowded public transport in chase of our busy schedules. Gradually stress accumulates. Problems loom large, burnout makes us feel dissatisfied with out job, we never seem to find time for adventure. So customers wants to know if the place is peaceful enough for them. 2. Enhancing your creativity (to know if the place has good things that will enhance creativity) One of the biggest benefits of Travelling is that it takes you out of your comfort zone. Especially if you are travelling to a place you have never visi ted before, everything seems fresh and new. New stimuli attack all your senses. You see new landscapes and experience vivid colours. You hear new music, people speak an unknown language in the streets, which overflows with the new scents smells. The smell and the taste of new food. 3. Broadening your horizon (to know if the place will have a good culture that will help broaden your horizon) How do we meet the world? Books, the lnternet, TVnews and documentaries tell us about distant countries, people and their way of life. However, a TV report presents to you someone else's point of view and may very well narrow your perspective instead of broadening your mind. 4. Having fun (to know if the place has enough activities for tourism) Scientists have established that our sense of happiness increases even before we start our journey. Why? We look forward to it! The simple expectation of the trip that will help us break free from routine creates a positive feeling. The trip itself is an opportunity to sleep late, have one of these lazy breakfasts that someone else has prepared. Try new cuisine. Why not add some camel milk to your coffee, after all this is Dubai! Taste Classic French mussels or real sushi (turns out it's quite different to the one in the shop around the corner from your place). 5. improving your health (to know if the place has good environment to rest and enjoy) Travelling is a great opportunity to sleep late andI even have a nap in the afternoon. Get your beauty sleep! The second travel-related healthy habit is movement. if you plan a walking trip, you can balance a job that involves sitting behind a desk all day. Exercise is good for your heart, for your muscles and bones, it can also increase your energy levels. / ,3, Upload a file [TIME max) Trainer Comments 26/08i'2021' 01:00PM Features of a destination - examples: natural attractions, major cities... xplain why it is necessary for the tour advisor to have information about the political and economic factors of the 'nternational destination. (65 words) he responsibilities are as follows: Planning and selling transportations, accommodations, insurance and other travel services Cooperating with clients to determine their needs and advising them appropriate destination, modes of transportations, travel dates, costs and accommodations Providing relevant information, brochures and publications (guides, local customs, maps, regulations, events etc) to travelers. Having all these responsibilities mentioned, let's focus on the last one. "Providing relevant information, brochures and publications (guides, local customs, maps, regulations, events etc) to travelers." - this includes informing the travelers about the political and economic factors of that certain place. it is very important to care about politics because you should know what is going on around you. Also, it is important to have a say in what is going on around you. The political decisions people make will affect many lives. Many people see politics as the government and the laws being made, and that is true, but it is way more complicated than that. Every law that is made will impact many. Sometimes the decisions will affect people in a bad way. Every vote that you make will either break people or make people. One reason you should care about politics is because you should always know what is going on around you. For example, if a new law is made is made in your area, you might want to make sure that you and the people around you know that a new law has been made so that no one breaks the law without even knowing it. Also, if something dangerous is happening around you or someone you know. you want to be aware if someone is breaking the law. it is very important to know what is happening around you.
