Tourism Troubles










The picture above was my first view of Japan. I was surprised to see that so many violent extremist groups are so active in Japan. It was a real culture shock for me!
Have you ever travelled abroad? Did you see something that shocked you?
Japanese are famous for going on guided tours to foreign countries but what about tourism to Japan? Have you ever seen a foreign tourist in Japan? Why do so few foreign people visit Japan?
The Japanese government has recently spent a huge amount of money to encourage foreign people to visit Japan. Do you think this is a good idea? Would you like to see more foreign people visit Japan, learn about its culture, and spend a lot of money here? What are some problems that may arise if many foreign tourist visit Japan?
Today, we will listen to an interview with a student from Prague in the Czech Republic. She will talk about the good points and bad points of tourism in her country: Listen Here
