1.What souvenirs would people buy from tourist attractions?

There are many different types of souvenirs that people buy when they are on holiday at tourist attractions. When my mother goes on holiday she likes to buy exotic foods and local delicacies. I think this is a common souvenir to buy for women when they go on holiday. Food items make lovely souvenirs to share with friends and family when you arrive home from your holiday. However, men often prefer to but permanent souvenirs to take home which are not perishable as food is. Thus, jewellery, artwork and little trinkets bought at markets also make popular souvenirs.

2.Why do people like to take photos when travelling?

Lots of people like to take photos when they are travelling as it is a lovely way to capture important moments during your holiday. When somebody takes lots of photos when travelling it means when they get home they can go through their photos and relive the special moments. People can also share these photos with their friends and family. This is a lovely way to share your experience with those that you love. Many older people would share their experiences with their closest friends and family by going through photo albums of their travels. Nowadays, young people place their photos on online social media and share it with anyone to see, which is much less personal.

3.Is it good that the local sell things to tourists?

Sometimes it is good for local communities to sell to tourists but sometimes it can be harmful. There are many countries for which tourism brings a lot of money to local communities. The economy of large developed countries such as Italy greatly benefit from tourism and local communities can thrive due to tourism. However, many smaller countries such as small Caribbean islands can be negatively affected by the tourism industry. Often small countries can become dependent on tourism to support their economies, which can be very unstable and ultimately have negative consequences.

4.What are the pros and cons of taking professional cameras when travelling?

Professional cameras are becoming much more common for average people to use when travelling. Professional cameras allow people to capture beautiful and significant moments during their travels with the utmost quality. It can be a great shame when you take many photos while travelling but once at home you discover they are all blurry and low quality. Therefore, many people take professional cameras when travelling. However, it does come as a great risk travelling with a professional camera. Professional cameras are very expensive which can make you a target for thieves. Therefore, it can be quite dangerous travelling with conspicuous expensive items.
