Tourism was not always as important as it is today．In the past only rich people could afford costly
travel to other countries．But in 1976 one common person in twenty visited a country away from home．
More people travel today than in the past mainly because there is a growing middle class(中产阶级)
in many parts of the world．People now have more money to travel．Airplane fares at a bargain price
(特价)for tourists make travel less expensive and thus more attractive than ever before．
One person does not travel for the same reason as another．But more people enjoy seeing countries
that are different from their own．They also travel to meet new people and try new foods．
Tourism causes many changes in a country and in people's lives．People build new hotels and train
native men and women as tourist guides．There are new night clubs and other amusements．
International tourism is clearly a big business．
