16. Cities

1. Why is noise pollution worse in tourism cities than in other cities?

There are several factors that contribute to higher levels of noise pollution in tourism cities compared to other cities. Firstly, tourism cities tend to have higher population densities due to the large number of people visiting and working in these areas. With more people, there is more activity, such as cars on the road, people talking and walking, and increased use of entertainment venues. These activities generate more noise, contributing to higher levels of noise pollution. Secondly, tourism cities often experience increased traffic due to the large number of people moving in and out of the city to visit attractions. This increased traffic can contribute significantly to noise pollution, particularly near transportation hubs like airports, train stations, and bus terminals. Thirdly, tourism cities are known for their entertainment venues such as nightclubs, bars, and restaurants. These venues often generate high levels of noise, especially at night when they are open late. The lack of soundproofing in some buildings in tourism cities can also contribute to higher levels of noise pollution. Fourthly, construction sites are common in tourism cities, as local authorities seek to improve and expand the various attractions and amenities. These construction sites can generate high levels of noise, particularly if they operate during the early morning or late at night. Lastly, tourist behavior can also contribute to higher levels of noise pollution, as tourists may not be as considerate of local residents as they are on vacation and may engage in loud or disruptive behavior In conclusion, the combination of these factors can create a perfect storm of noise pollution in tourism cities, making it a significant challenge for local authorities and residents to manage and control.

2.Do most people like planned travelling? Probably yes. Having a clear itinerary and knowing what to expect can provide a sense of comfort and security, and allow people to make the most of their time. For example, when all necessary arrangements like accommodation and transportation are made in advance, it eliminates the stress and uncertainty of last-minute bookings, especially during peak season or in places with limited options. Additionally, having a plan in place allows people to focus on enjoying their trip, rather than worrying about logistics, which can help them relax and make the most of their time. It also allows them to better balance their time between relaxation and activities, and have a good rest and enjoyment.

3. What kind of problems do people have when travelling?

Do you think tourists may come across bad things in other cities?

Well, first of all, these are the problems connected with safety issues, I mean being robbed in the street or having valuables stolen from the hotel room. One more common kind of problems people face is budget problems like running out of money or just not having enough money to deal with problems or mishaps. Speaking another language is also quite a big problem for the majority of travelers. And, of course, flying problems such as delayed or cancelled flights, not enough leg-room on the plane, long queues at check-in and jet-lag if people fly across the Atlantic.

4. Why do people like to visit historical places?

Why are historical sites popular?

Oh, I think because historical places give them a more realistic vision of history and enable them to develop a deeper understanding of the people and places that have shaped society today. They help people see the bigger picture as well as grasp the achievements of mankind and bring a great experience of learning new things. All of this makes people happy, creates addiction and pushes them to visit more and more historical sights.
