ECOTOURISM
Ecotourism essentially means ecological tourism, where ecological has both environmental and social connotations. It is defined both as a concept / tourism movement and as a tourism sector. Born in its current form in the late 1980s, ecotourism came of age in 2002, when the United Nations celebrated the "International Year of Ecotourism". The International Ecotourism Society (IES) defines ecotourism as "responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improves the well-being of local people". However, this is a vibrant, new movement and there are various definitions.
Many global environmental organizations and aid agencies favor ecotourism as a vehicle to sustainable development.
Ideally, true ecotourism should satisfy several criteria, such as:
• conservation (and justification for conservation) of biological diversity and cultural diversity, through ecosystems protection;
• promotion of sustainable use of biodiversity, by providing jobs to local populations;
• sharing of socio-economic benefits with local communities and indigenous people by having their informed consent and participation in the management of ecotourism enterprises;
• increase of environmental & cultural knowledge;
• minimisation of tourism's own environmental impact;
• affordability and lack of waste in the form of luxury.
For many countries, ecotourism is not so much seen as a marginal activity intended to finance protection of the environment than as a major sector of national economy and as a means of getting currencies. For example, in countries such as Kenya, Ecuador, Nepal, Costa Rica and Madagascar, ecotourism represents a significant chunk of foreign revenue.
The concept of ecotourism is widely misunderstood and, in practice, is often simply used as a marketing tool to promote tourism that is related to nature. Critics claim that ecotourism as practiced and abused of-
ten consists in placing a hotel in a splendid landscape, to the detriment of the ecosystem. According to them, ecotourism must above all sensitize people with the beauty and the fragility of nature. They condemn some operators as "green-washing" their operations—that is, using the label of "ecotourism" and "green-friendly", while behaving in environmentally irresponsible ways.
Although academics argue about who can be classified as an eco- tourist, and there is precious little statistical data, some estimate that more than five million ecotourists — the majority of the worldwide population — come from the United States, with other ecotourists coming from Europe, Canada and Australia.
Currently there are various moves to create national and international ecotourism certification programs, although the process is causing controversy.

IN THE LAND OF THE SURFING HIPPOS
Last September the Gabonese government announced the creation of 13 national parks, covering 11 percent of the country. A major force behind this decision was J. Michael Fay, a driven (some would say obsessed) biologist with the New York based Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), who had walked some 2,000 miles across central Africa to document its flora and fauna. In Loango National Park, a model for the other parks, Fay made his efforts to instill solid management and inspire private investment, keeping a daily journal of his experiences. In his entries he celebrates the Loango's coast, speaks his mind about conservation, and describes some of the work that's making the world's newest park system a success.
The Heron
The mangroves here are big trees, their stilt roots forming an impenetrable tangle like some kind of jungle gym.
I thought about the village. The people of Loango came to the bank of Congo River for padauk wood (prized for its hardness and bright red color), for elephant ivory, and to acquire slaves from the neighboring tribes. It's clear that oysters supplied the villagers with a steady source of food over many generations.
Paddling conditions were perfect — slight breeze coming off the ocean, cumulus clouds shading the sun (no more than 80°F), and not a tsetse fly to be seen. As we rounded the sharp bend leading us inland, the kayak leaving a silvery wake on the dark surface, some fruit bats scared up a big bird.
We got into position for a look, and my eyes met with what looked like an overdressed clown with a sharp beak. Its breast was a rich rusty brown, the throat a bright white, the back and wings a crisp blackish brown. But the eyes: Wow, what eyes! In a bird the size of a raven they were about as big as a human's and lined with a thick white ring. This thing was the most wonderful avian delight I'd ever seen. A look in A Guide to the Birds of Western Africa revealed the bird to be the white- backed night heron. "Largely nocturnal; secretive and very shy by day," the book said. Hardly an adequate description of what we saw. The authors might have added: "Yet another little known and unbelievably beautiful product of nature that can be seen on any day in Loango National Park."
The Hippo
As we advanced upstream, the river narrowed, and snags began to block our progress. My eyes scanned the muddy bank, which suddenly began to surge. So did my heart, as the form of a massive hippo materialized no more than 25 feet in front of the boat. Face-on to us, he plunged into the water like a battleship released from dry dock full-speed ahead. He'd been sleeping under a tree, and we had scared him in what he may have judged a surprise attack. We paddled frantically for the mangroves on the opposite bank, which seemed a mile away.
"Go, go, go," shouted Jane, "he's coming. He's right behind the boat." The theme music of "Jaws" popped into my head, along with visions of this behemoth chomping our plastic kayak right in half.
When we reached a tangle of mangrove roots — slippery like spaghetti and virtually ungrippable (ungraspable) — 1 tossed the paddle aside and catapulted Malia up into the tree. Jane and I followed, clambering and slithering over the spaghetti branches until we had about ten feet of jungle between us and the water's edge. We looked back only to see a boil of
water erupting just behind the empty kayak. The hippo had plunged into the black depths.
We sat motionless for the better part of an hour, eyes fixed on the water like spooked prey. Because passage on foot through the mangrove maze wasn't an option, we'd have to hop back in that boat and get ourselves downstream without stirring the now invisible beast. All was quiet. Would it stay that way?
Jane and Malia struggled through the mangrove roots until they were about a hundred feet downstream. I jumped in the kayak, tipping it hard from side to side to call the hippo's bluff. The water stayed calm. No bubbles, no movement. That was good. 1 recovered the paddle and lost no time in zipping downstream to fetch the ladies, slipping as quietly as possible past every swirl and bubble.

CONSERVATION TIPS
• Many wild animals are now threatened or endangered because of international trade. Stop by the Customs House and see confiscated items illegally, made from our wondrous wildlife.
• Don't buy ivory. Plastics, resins, and even a very hard white nut can be fashioned into jewelry and other items once made from ivory.
• Primates do not make good pets and are illegal in many areas. Ecotourism helps bring hard currency to developing countries.
• Ecotourists like you who choose their destinations for their natural beauty, have a large impact on countries with large wildlife population.
• Ecotourism makes certain species more valuable alive than dead.
• The way you live at home does influence the world. Support and participate in non-consumptive uses of wildlife such as bird watching, nature photography and scuba diving.
• Create conditions in your yard that will benefit birds, insects and plants. Reduce or eliminate your use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
• Plant trees and bushes.

МОСКОВСКИЙ ЗООПАРК
Московский зоопарк, расположенный в самом центре города, старейший и крупнейший зоопарк нашей страны. Он был основан в 1864 году. Сейчас коллекция зоопарка насчитывает 6094 экземпляра 1001 вида животных.
За свою почти полуторавековую историю зоопарк очень сильно изменился, особенно в последние годы, когда стала осуществляться его генеральная реконструкция. Появились новые помещения для животных, например, создан уникальный «Экзотариум» — павильон с морскими аквариумами. Открыты новые павильоны: «Дом птиц», «Ночной мир», «Теплолюбивые копытные», «Теплолюбивые кошки», «Ластоногие», «Приматы», «Фауна Индонезии». Для самых маленьких посетителей открыт специальный «Детский зоопарк».
Новый слоновник был построен в рекордно короткие сроки, в течение одного года, и был открыт для посетителей в сентябре 2003 года. Он получился просторным: отапливаемые зимние вольеры площадью 650 кв. метров, летние вольеры для прогулок площадью 1475 кв. метров. В нем многое предусмотрено для комфортного содержания животных: бассейны, много песка, стволы деревьев, крупные валуны. Новоселам, самцу и двум самкам азиатских слонов, очень понравился их новый дом. Павильон удобен и посетителям — во внутреннем помещении им предоставлен двухуровневый смотровой зал.

BUSINESS TRAVEL
(Part I)
Business travel is one of the most stable working and highly profitable part of world tourism, and one of the youngest, too. Business travel or MICE (abbreviation from Meetings / Incentive / Conferences / Exhibitions) became a separate branch of tourism business in 1970s. First, business travel was considered by businessmen only as opportunities to have a good rest at the expense of the government or the company you work for. The situation changed greatly after 1998 when the number of entertaining trips has lowered and at the same time the number of corporate events has grown. MICE development in Russia is highly dynamic as well as in the rest of the world, and according to the prospects the profitability of this branch of tourism will grow up to $2 billion a year by 2020.
The demand structure of MICE today is: 75 % is individual business travel, intensive trips, conferences and exhibitions are 10—13 % each. The figures are approximate, of course; exhibitions and conferences are usually combined together in one event, and intensive programs usually supplement other types of business travel.
Meetings
Most travel agencies offer businessmen going to a conference, exhibition or negotiations only standard package of visa support, air tickets,
accommodation and transfers. As a result those businessmen, who want their trips to be efficient, prefer dealing with specialized travel agencies working in the sphere of MICE tourism. Such travel agencies basically deal with corporate clients. Agencies can provide the corporate client with full package of business and travel services including dozens of meetings, visits to enterprises and professional exhibitions.
The biggest American travel agencies working in the sphere of MICE tourism are American Express Travel Services, Carlson Wagonlit Travel,
BTI.
The demand on business travel is growing rapiudly. Numerous workshops, professional exhibitions, journals and websites devoted to MICE support this growth.
Incentive
Incentive tourism means travels financed by the company to give an incentive to employees as the appraisal of their work, to facilitate the teamwork and to stimulate work motivation. World annual turnover of incentive tourism exceeds $8 million, 80 % of which is spent on transport, accommodation and foods services, and only 15 % is spent on sightseeing and entertainment programs. Throughout the world 70 % of all incentive tours are to Europe, 10 % are to the USA thought 60 % of all incentive tourists are Americans, and 15 % of the tours are to the South East Asia. The average duration of an incentive tour is from 3 to 7 days.
Incentive tours are becoming more diverse, both in the choice of the countries and in the tour programs. Some intensive tours are aimed at business activities or interests of the tourists, i.e. historical or wine tours; there are also separate "mass" tours for ordinary employees and VIP programs for senior management. The latter prefer adventure tourism or even extreme tourism such as auto rallies or balloon flying.
Recently senior management of many companies prefers investing money not into traditional entertainment incentive tours but in team- building tours. In this matter travel agencies work together with business consulting companies, professional psychologists, etc. The example can be so called "rope-courses". They last for 3—4 days and are comprised of different activities including sport, adventure and extreme. The emphasis of the courses is placed not on sport abilities of the participants, but on effective teamwork, problem solution, leadership skills development and behaviour adjustment to different situations and sudden changes. Some travel agencies called incentive houses specialize at incentive tours only.

ДЕЛОВОЙ ТУРИЗМ
Словосочетанием деловой туризм (Business travel) можно обозначить два понятия. Первое — это деловая поездка бизнесмена или менеджера с целью развития бизнеса. Второе — развитая индустрия по обслуживанию деловых поездок.
Специалисты обычно рассматривают понятие деловой туризм как бизнес-систему, состоящую из четырех подсистем. Это четырехугольник, в углах которого находятся: «компании-заказчики» (они направляют своих сотрудников в деловые поездки), «компании-поставщики отдельного вида услуг» (авиакомпании, отели, бюро по аренде автомобилей, страховые компании и др.), «компании-поставщики полного комплекса услуг (туроператоры) в сфере деловых поездок» и «организации и фирмы индустрии MICE».
В среде Business travel деловые поездки принято делить на несколько видов в зависимости от целей и пакета востребованных услуг. Это собственно индивидуальные деловые поездки, на долю которых в среднем в мире приходится 70—78 % от общего объема деловых поездок. Поездки для участия в конференциях, конгрессах и семинарах — 12—14 %. Поездки на выставки — 10—12 %. Поощрительные поездки как одна из форм мотивации и поощрения сотрудников, партнеров, клиентов, торговых агентов, дистрибьюторов и руководителей высокого ранга составляют 3—7 %. Виды деловых поездок могут тесно переплетаться, например, вы- ставочно-конгрессные и поощрительные поездки.

BUSINESS TRAVEL (Part II)
Exhibition Tourism
According to business travel statistics, the demand on exhibition tourism has been growing recently. Large travel agencies make arrangements to visit more than 100 exhibitions every year. The most popular industry-specific exhibitions and fairs are construction, furniture, food, computer, general industrial and military fairs and exhibitions.
The demand on specialized exhibitions has been growing recently. For instance, professionals are not interested in general construction exhibitions, but in particular construction techniques, e.g. wood processing, or particular types of construction materials.
Among the most popular European destinations the leaders are Germany and Italy, providing up to 70 % of supply to the existing demand. The third place is taken by France, with popular construction exhibitions and Le Burge air show. In Switzerland the primary attractions are auto show in Geneva and clock-art forums in Baselle. Great Britain is famous for design, interior and furniture exhibitions. The demand on exhibitions in other European countries is not high.
One of the existing trends in exhibition tourism is the growing interest in South-East Asia, especially China. The location of the exhibition is gaining importance for clients, so exotic countries are being chosen more and more often for the location of the exhibition. It is true particularly for the exporting companies that want to enlarge there sales market's share in developing countries.
Russian experts also note, that Russian businessmen used to remember about exhibitions "at the last minute". Now they plan visiting exhibitions in advance, especially during the high season of the exhibition tourism, which is from February to May and from September to November. Such thoughtfulness makes the work of travel agents easier, because in some hotels located near the popular exhibition centers the rooms have to be reserved at least a year before the exhibitions.
Congress Tourism
Congress tourism is a growing MICE market segment. Congress tourism takes up to 30 % of the hotel reservation around the world, but only 5—7 % in Russia. Some of the most popular congress places have always been Check Republic and Cyprus. Russian capitals Moscow and St. Petersburg are gaining popularity as well lately.
According to HCD Group, a big consulting company, more than 150 large congresses, conferences and workshops are held in Moscow annually. Each event is attended by 100—300 participants, that is average for Europe, but less than in East Asia and America, where large congresses draw up to 5—7 thousands participants.
As the specialists note, the major bulk of congress-conference clients are financial, computer, pharmaceutical and insurance companies. The average duration of the event is from two to four days. The typical service includes charter flights to and from the location and accommodation in best hotels of major resort cities.
Popular travel destinations are gradually becoming popular congress destinations as well. Such countries as Turkey, Spain and Greece are in high demand during low season when 4—5 star hotels are not packed and offer accommodation discounts.
Individual congress tourism differs from exhibition tourism because it doesn't require standard promotion and previous advertisement. Usually individuals come to a travel agency having received the invitations personally in need of standard travel package including visas, air tickets, transfers and accommodation.

ДЕЛОВОЙ ТУРИЗМ: ЗАРУБЕЖНЫЙ ОПЫТ
Мальта — одно из самых удачных мест в Европе для проведения конференций и конгрессов. На острове 12 бизнес-отелей уровня 5* на 4550 мест и 12 бизнес-отелей 4* на 5650 мест, в которых могут проходить крупные конференции, а также много других гостиниц высокого класса с прекрасными возможностями для деловых людей. Большинство этих отелей расположены неподалеку друг от друга, и даже очень большие группы участников конгрессов можно легко расселить в нескольких соседних отелях высокого класса. При этом Мальта очень компактна, переезды отнимают мало времени, поэтому программа конференций может быть очень насыщенной. Деловая часть встреч прекрасно дополняется экскурсиями и всевозможными инсентив-программами, например, обрядом посвящения в мальтийские рыцари или ужином в старинном замке с театрализованным рыцарским турниром. И конечно, огромным преимуществом проведения конференций на Мальте является наш прекрасный климат и возможности для всех видов морского отдыха.
Российский рынок инсентив-туризма в своем становлении прошел несколько этапов. До конца 90-х он в основном представлял собой «поощрительную» часть выездных конференций, включавшую экскурсионные программы, отдых у моря и активное застолье. Теперь это самостоятельные поездки с целью поощрения и мотивации отдельных сотрудников или сплочения коллектива.

CAREERS IN TRAVEL AND TOURISM
Globalization is not a buzzword solely associated with international business. It has translated into a booming new career possibility: expanded services in the travel and tourism industry.
According to the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), the industry "already is responsible for more than 10 percent of global employment." Dr. Brian White, director of the WTTC's Human Resources Center in British Columbia, says the field is incredibly diverse and comprised of seven major areas:
• Airlines/transport;
• Conferences and conventions;
• Arts and culture;
• Hotels, food and beverage;
• Ecotourism;
• Outdoor recreation;
• Ancillary services associated with tourism.
Industry Trends
With all this opportunity, where should you concentrate your efforts? Focusing on the market's demands may lead to more job openings.
On the corporate side, according to a piece on the industry trends online, the travel and tourism industry is "in consolidation mode." This means that smaller companies are merging or being acquired by the big players like American Express, Marriott and Carlson Wagonlit. So it might make sense to begin your career with one of the larger corporations, where you can gain exposure to many facets of the business while having relative job security.
An obvious trend is the increase in Internet service. The Web has created new and different career options for those interested in travel careers. Individuals can work for sites like CheapTickets.com, Orbitz and Travelocity.com.
Additionally, journalists may see more travel writing opportunities available in the traditional magazines like Conde Nasi Traveller and National Geographic Traveller, as well as online publications.
Characteristics for Success
You must have patience, flexibility and excellent interpersonal skills. This is a service industry, first and foremost. Cultural sensitivity and awareness are critical, as tourism professionals deal with different countries and cultures.
Senior level executives generally have MBAs and develop skills and competencies that can be transferred across sectors. Mid-level professionals heed a mix of practical experience and academic credentials, according to Dr. White, who also teaches in the field. For example, individuals might work full-time in the travel sector while going part-time for an advanced certificate in travel and tourism.
Pros and Cons
One obvious benefit of working in the travel and tourism industry is the opportunity to actually hop on a plane and see many locales at low prices, or even gratis. Another benefit for many is the fact that it is an international field that changes along with global trends.
One of the downsides to the business, especially the hotel and restaurant side, is the long hours. Management must often work evenings and weekends. Individuals are often asked to move to a new location without much notice.
Ethics and Tourism
Dr. White reminds us there is a strong set of ethics required in the field of tourism, noting the industry has profound economic implications for a country's economy and people. It is important for individuals to consider their responsibilities, says Dr. White. Tourism is about more than making a profit; it involves benefiting local communities, creating jobs that provide fair wages and not exploiting the environment.

ГОТОВИМСЯ К СОБЕСЕДОВАНИЮ
Цель первой встречи с работодателем — показать, что навыки, знания и опыт соискателя как нельзя лучше соответствуют требованиям рассматриваемой позиции. Во время интервью необходи-
mo продемонстрировать знание профессии, компании и отрасли, к которой относится искомая позиция, желание кандидата работать именно в этой компании. Проводя интервью, работодатель проверяет коммуникативные навыки соискателя, уверенность в себе, мотивацию и инициативность.
Как подготовиться к интервью ?
Первый шаг в подготовке к интервью — сбор сведений о компании, в которую вы идете на собеседование, и о людях, с которыми вам предстоит встретиться. Полезную информацию можно получить разными способами. Первый и самый доступный — знакомство с сайтом компании в Интернете. Кроме того, многие организации распространяют свои проспекты и рекламные брошюры. Попробуйте найти статьи о компании в газетах или журналах. Побеседуйте с человеком, работающим или работавшим в этой организации. От него можно узнать массу полезных вещей, но следует учитывать субъективную окраску таких рассказов.
Что желательно знать о компании, в которую вы идете на интервью:
• какие продукты или какие услуги предлагает;
• популярность предлагаемых направлений;
• какова история компании;
• стабилен ли состав сотрудников;
• имеет ли региональные представительства в России;
• кто основные конкуренты;
• входит ли в какое-либо более крупное объединение;
• с какими перевозчиками, страховщиками сотрудничает компания.
Также необходимо провести самоанализ и обдумать ответы на вопросы, которые вам могут быть заданы на собеседовании. Одни вопросы могут носить чисто практический характер («Готовы ли вы проводить 30 % времени в командировках?»), другие — преследовать цель оценить вашу мотивированность, определить круг ваших интересов, проверить профессиональную компетентность, осведомленность о компании и отрасли, умение быстро находить правильные решения.

HIT YOUR STRIDE IN HOSPITALITY
If you'd like to work in an industry where it's possible to go from the dish room to the boardroom, a career in hospitality may be right for you. You'll probably have to wait tables and prep a few meals in between, but the rewards are well worth the work.
And while the hospitality industry has kept itself lean over the past two years, there will be a growing number of opportunities for newcomers as the economy continues to grow. Urban areas tend to have more hospitality jobs than rural areas, with tourist meccas topping the list.
"People always have to eat," says Gerald Fernandez, president of Providence, Rhode Island's Multicultural Foodservice & Hospitality Alliance (MFHA). "That gives you some job security."
What's Hot?
Service-oriented positions and chef jobs are currently on employers' radars, according to Robert Bosselman, PhD, director of Florida State University's Dedman School of Hospitality Business clubs and private clubs, as well as colleges, schools and hospitals are good options to consider.
If you're willing to take a gamble, consider working in the gaming industry. Casinos are popping up all over the country.
Need to get away from it all? Work at a major resort or on a cruise ship.
If you're a sports enthusiast, you can root for your home team while ushering in the fans. And don't forget the major arenas and stadiums. You will be the envy of all your friends when they find out you're essentially getting paid to see your favorite rock band in concert.
Break In
So how does one go about obtaining a position in this industry? Bosselman notes that there are openings in hospitality venues in every city. Visit the restaurants, hotels, stadiums, etc., that you are interested in working for with a positive attitude and a good work ethic, and you'll likely land a position.
Be Ready to Pay Your Dues
Don't be discouraged if you're offered a position as a dishwasher. Bossleman points out that some of today's top chefs and restaurant owners started their careers washing dishes. If you aspire to move up in the kitchen or be a restaurant owner, back-of-the-house experience is a must.
Fernandez says entry-level jobs provide opportunities to learn the basics, such as sanitation and food preparation. Furthermore, "the industry is growing so rapidly, that if you are motivated and people-ori- ented, you will move up quickly within the organization," he says.
Balancing Your Plate
The hospitality industry may operate 24/7, but that doesn't mean you'll be working around the clock. The industry recognizes that employees seek work/life balance. To compete for talent, companies are making adjustments. Progressive hospitality organizations are giving employees consecutive days off and are not requiring excessive amounts of overtime. They recognize that employee burnout is equally detrimental to the employers and patrons as it is to the employees.
Seek Excellence
Fernandez encourages job seekers to look for an organization, company or brand that exemplifies what they would look for when dining out or staying in a lodging facility — cleanliness, positive attitude of the servers and inclusiveness, for instance. These are the types of places where you will most likely have opportunities to excel and advance.
Find a company that demonstrates excellence, even if it's a burger joint. Organizations that focus on excellence usually pay attention to their employees' needs.
Keep an Open Mind
Don't let your biases get in the way. If you envision yourself driving around town in a new car, start applying for positions in the fast-food industry. Oak Brook, Illinois-based McDonald's believes in promoting hourly workers into management positions. Stick around long enough, and you may be one of the many general store managers who receive company cars for business and personal use. The company will even throw in the cost of insurance, maintenance and repairs. If that doesn't whet your appetite, maybe such benefits as stock options, medical and dental insurance, and the opportunity to participate in an entertainment program will do the trick.

КАК ВЕСТИ СЕБЯ НА ИНТЕРВЬЮ
• Будьте вежливы и доброжелательны со всеми, кого вы встретите в офисе.
• Не забудьте улыбнуться, входя в кабинет интервьюера.
• Приветствуя представителя компании, не подавайте руки первым.
• Не садитесь, пока вам не предложат этого сделать.
• Помните, как важен язык жестов. Следите за своей осанкой, стремитесь смотреть в глаза.
• Если вас кому-либо представят, приложите все усилия, чтобы правильно услышать и запомнить имя этого человека. Если вы сразу сможете обратиться к собеседнику по имени, это произведет благоприятное впечатление. Переспрашивание же обнаружит излишнюю нервозность.
• Если вам предложат заполнить какие-нибудь формы, помните, что все имеет значение: и грамотность, и аккуратность, и почерк, и четкость формулировок.
• Внимательно слушайте. Следуйте тому направлению беседы, которое задаст интервьюер. Прежде чем отвечать на вопрос, постарайтесь понять, зачем он задан, как в ответе подчеркнуть свои сильные стороны и о чем говорить не следует.
• Ваши ответы на задаваемые вопросы должны быть прямыми и точными (вы не должны выходить за пределы обсуждаемой темы). В то же время вы можете дополнить свой ответ информацией, представляющей вас в выгодном свете. Например, вы можете сказать, что ваше предложение включить дополнительную услугу в стандартный турпакет позволило увеличить продажи на 25 %. Это будет ответом по существу, и никто не сочтет подобное дополнение неуместным.
• Существуют ответы, которые повторяются миллион раз. Постарайтесь избегать штампов и банальностей (как, например, «Мне нравится работать с людьми»).
• Говорите правду. Любые колебания будут заметны и заронят сомнения в правдивости ваших ответов. Каждая неточность будет неизбежно углублять возникшие сомнения и вызывать дальнейшие вопросы, в которых вы будете увязать все глубже и глубже.
• При завершении встречи еще раз коротко изложите доводы в пользу своей кандидатуры, поблагодарите проводившего
интервью за уделенное вам внимание и договоритесь о том, когда и как вы узнаете о результатах собеседования.
22. Write an essay on the topic "Do's and Don't's When Looking For a Job".
PROJECT WORK
1. You are looking for a job. What position(s) do you want to find? Describe everything you are going to do to find a good job. List the sources of information you will use, people you will meet, etc. Write letters of application, resume and CV. Get references from people who know you and can recommend you for this position (e.g. your university professors, former or current employees, senior colleagues, etc. but not relatives).
2. Get ready for an interview. Present your cover letter and resume/ CV to your potential employer, go to the interview and get accepted for the position you want!

ROSENBLUTH INTERNATIONAL
Rosenbluth is the fourth largest travel agency in the USA. Employees: 3,000.
Rosenbluth International is the only company in America that uses a salmon as its mascot. Salmons appear on the internal newsletter, banners, name tags, pins, stickers, stationery, and mugs. Rosenbluth even sends a stuffed salmon doll to clients. Why the salmon? Because the salmon likes to buck the tide.
Inspirer of the salmon motif and chief tide bucker is CEO Hal Rosenbluth. He likes to do things differently. And Hal Rosenbluth's maverick style has paid off.
The company started in 1892 when Hal Rosenbluth's great-grandfather Marcus started the enterprise in an ethnic Philadelphia neighborhood to book steamship tickets for his neighbors to bring their European relatives to the United States. Now its annual sales exceed $1.5 billion
and more than 5,000 associates work at 582 sites in 396 cities. But it's not surprising if you've never heard of Rosenbluth, since 95 percent of its business comes from some 1,500 corporate clients, including Du Pont, Merck, Chevron, Kodak, and General Electric.
Some of Rosenbluth's business success can be traced to technology— they've long been a leader in computer automation of travel reservations. And they've made what others consider brilliant tactical moves—like being the first firm to develop its own back office (accounting and client reporting system) that is independent of the reservations system maintained by airlines.
If this were the typical contemporary business story, we'd now hear that Rosenbluth delivers "excellent" service because he puts the customer first. But that's not the Rosenbluth story. Ever the salmon, Hal Rosenbluth wrote a book called The Customer Comes Second.
The obvious question is: Who comes first? The company's associates come first. "We don't believe that the customer can come first unless our people come first. If our people don't come first, then they're not free to focus on our clients; they're worrying about other kinds of things", says Rosenbluth. So clients who are repeatedly rude to associates may find themselves asked to find another travel agency.
As could be expected, there are no slave-driving bosses here. Supervisors (called leaders) defy conventional stereotypes. "I never feel like I manage anybody," said Terri Hater, a senior manager, "'Manage' sounds like you're controlling the actions. Sometimes I feel like a leader and sometimes like a supporter of people and then — ideas."
Rosenbluth's ambience comes partly from unusual hiring practices. Rosenbluth does take personality into account in choosing a new employee. "It's not technical skills we're looking for, it's nice people. We can train people to do anything technical, but we can't make them nice." According to Rosenbluth: "Our Company is made up of friends. We didn't hire friends, we just became that way."
This company doesn't substitute fun and games for low pay, however. Rosenbluth associates are compensated well—typically making 20 percent above the travel industry average. Working at Rosenbluth's also offers one of the best vacation and travel benefit packages in the land. That is why the turnover rate at Rosenbluth is 12 percent. The industry averages between 30 and 50 percent.
Rosenbluth's low turnover can also be attributed to the opportunities opened up by rapid growth and extensive training programs. Rosenbluth operates 10 training centers throughout the country in addition to mobile training teams who conduct seminars at branch locations.
The travel business is traditionally cyclical, and the early 1990s were especially unforgiving. The combination of the Persian Gulf War and the ongoing U.S. recession resulted in huge layoffs throughout the travel industry. But not at Rosenbluth. Instead of resorting to layoffs, they instituted a wage freeze in early 1991. It lasted seven months for non-managerial employees and nine months for managers. Scores of associates helped the company out by taking voluntary time off without pay and submitting over 400 cost-saving ideas through "Operation Brainstorm." To reassure employees that they would not resort to layoffs, Hal Rosenbluth sent every associate a memo in January 1991. It said: "The obvious and simple thing to do would be to follow the course that our competition has chosen and reduce staff, since 50 percent of all costs are in payroll. But let's face it — that's not the action a salmon would take!"

КТО И ЗАЧЕМ ОТКРЫВАЕТ ТУРФИРМЫ?
Невысокий «входной» порог для создания турагентства позволяет без особого экономического риска пробовать силы в туристическом бизнесе. Наиболее популярные вложения в создание турфирмы (турагентства) колеблются в пределах $10 тыс. Ротация новообразованных фирм очень велика, в течение года — примерно 30 %, т.е. треть исчезает с рынка, не дожив даже до следующего сезона.
Как ни странно, основное число учредителей турфирм — молодые, амбициозные женщины, имеющие опыт работы в туристическом бизнесе в качестве менеджеров и/или по той или иной причине «отделившиеся» от какой-либо туристической фирмы. Давняя легенда о муже, купившем своей жене турфирму на день рождения, свое уже отжила. Хотя единичные случаи приобретения фирм в качестве подарка бывают, но хлопоты по его содержанию сильно перевешивают радость от получения. В большинстве случаев турагентство открывается в расчете на определенный круг клиентов, сложившийся ранее на основе личных или деловых контактов. Учредители начинающего турагентства изначально рассчитывают свою прибыль, исходя из предполагаемого числа клиентов, не принимая во внимание отсутствие узнаваемой торговой марки, необходимость раскрутки офиса, активной рекламы. Подавляющее количество турфирм открывается без значительных вложений, оперируя денежными средствами, достаточными лишь для аренды и оборудования однокомнатного офиса и минимальной рекламы. Степень «выживаемости» таких фирм крайне низкая.
Подавляющее число лицензий, оформляемых лицензирующими органами, выдается новым фирмам, реально собирающимся работать на туристическом рынке. Соответственно, растет и конкурентная среда, что, впрочем, абсолютно не смущает аутсайдеров.
Для настоящего момента характерна размытость границ в работе турагентов и туроператоров. При создании турфирм на одного туроператора приходится три турагента, и различие между ними подчас лишь в лицензии. На практике туроператорская и тураген- тская деятельность смешиваются, туроператор продает туры прямым клиентам и перепродает туры других туроператоров, а тур- агент самостоятельно формирует турпакеты или дополняет готовые туры новыми услугами. Такое «смешение жанров» вносит сумятицу в отношения с партнерами и с налоговыми органами.
Если оценивать направления деятельности новых турфирм, то первое место занимает продажа туров по России и ближнему зарубежью, второе, с большим отрывом, — выездной туризм, третье — въездной туризм, четвертое — образовательные, лечебные и прочие туры. Интерес к продаже туров по России наиболее выражен в регионах, в особенности имеющих собственные туристические ресурсы. Отдельно можно выделить категорию турфирм, не имеющих конкретного направления продаж и ориентированных на продажу любых туров по запросу клиента.
Очень часто новоиспеченные турфирмы слабо ориентируются на туристическом рынке и в обилии предложений туроператоров, нередко выбирают поставщика по случайным признакам или руководствуясь поверхностной информацией.
Создание многочисленных туристических предприятий в России отражает общую тенденцию активного развития малого бизнеса. Туристический рынок растет пропорционально спросу потребителей на услуги и росту платежеспособности населения. Тревожит лишь тот факт, что формирование профессиональных кадров не успевает за ростом числа турфирм, а это может пагубно сказаться на качестве туристических услуг и в целом на доверии потребителей к туристической отрасли.

IS RESTAURANT MANAGEMENT ON YOUR CAREER MENU?
Whenever Jerry Vtestrom interviews a potential management candidate, he talks about all the negatives surrounding the position before going into greater detail about the positives.
"I need to know their heart is in it, that they are truly committed," says Westrom, who owns an Ember's Restaurant in Cambridge, Minnesota. "If they seem skeptical about anything, I don't know if they will make it."
What Are the Negatives ?
"Being a restaurant manager is a lifestyle, not a job," says Westrom. "If managers are going to succeed, they will put in 50 to 80 hours per week with high stress levels at times. But once you get everything going, it can be a fun career with very good pay."
Westrom suggests potential candidates consider the following:
• What type of restaurant business are you going into? There is a big difference between fine dining, family style, fast food and a sports bar or restaurant atmosphere. These restaurants attract different employees. A fine dining establishment might draw more experienced, mature employees, while a fast food restaurant or sports bar might interest younger ones.
• Do you want to be a floor manager, a back-of-the-house manager or a general manager? Each of these positions requires different skills.
• When pursuing jobs, ask potential employers how long they have been in business, where they see the business growing, what opportunities exist for advancement and what type of manager-training programs they have.
"If someone wants a career in this field, try getting in with a franchise for training and a stable income," advises Wfestrom. "After three to five years, you can look at a privately held restaurant where you can go in as a general manager and demand a pay of $60,000-plus for your expertise or partnership."
The Positives
Jill Nelsen has worked as a restaurant manager in California and Minnesota and has more than 10 years of experience managing fast food restaurants, such as Taco Bell and Rax Roast Beef.
"Restaurant management is great if you like a lot of variety in what you do, like to work really hard and enjoy working with people," she says. "It is a fairly easy field to break into without investing in an education; however you can move up faster and not start at the very bottom if you do have an education."
Nelsen says the upside to restaurant management lies in the opportunity to advance quickly, the challenge and the chance to acquire an array of management skills. "I really enjoyed the opportunity to work with young people," she adds. "For many of them, it was their first job, and it was exciting to teach them the value of work and a strong ethic and to
watch them grow into adults. Often, working in a restaurant can be like working with a big family."
Nelsen suggests asking yourself these 10 questions to help you decide if this is the career for you:
1. Do I like to work with many different types of people, both as coworkers and as customers?
2. Will I mind working all hours of the day and night?
3. Do I like to motivate people to do their best?
4. Will I enjoy the pressures of making a budget, staffing the restaurant and managing daily operations?
5. Will I mind people calling me with questions on my time off?
6. What do I picture for the future, my family and how we spend our time? Do a restaurant manager's hours fit into this vision?
7. Am I highly motivated?
8. Do I like to work hard?
9. Do I like to reach daily, weekly, monthly and yearly goals?
10. What does this career offer that others do not?
"One last but not least thing to remember about a career in restaurant management is that with all the training and experience you get, you can move to many different industries and careers," says Nelsen, who went from restaurant management to office management, to sales management to bank accounting, publishing and marketing.

Count your points.
0—4points: "Ignorance"
If you don't start building your geography and tourism knowledge, you will loose your sales to more knowledgeable colleagues. To be successful in this industry you need to widen your horizon.
5— 8points: "Weak spot"
You are not ignorant, but you are not a professional yet. It will be more and more difficult for you to work in this industry and even more difficult to make a career in travel business with your level of knowledge. You need to acquire more knowledge to be successful.
9—72 points: "Good news for you"
You are a good specialist, for sure, and if you put a little more effort to enlarge your knowledge, you will be very successful. Your hard work will be both morally and monetary well-compensated.
13—16points: "The winner takes it all"
Congratulations! Your travel agency is very lucky to have you. When they speak of excellent professionals, they mean you. If you plan to make a career in travel and tourism industry, you have chosen the right way to go.

ГОСТИНИЧНЫЙ МЕНЕДЖМЕНТ ПО-РУССКИ
Отечественный гостиничный рынок в последнее время лихорадит: появляются все новые управляющие компании, уже заявлены по меньшей мере пять национальных отельных брендов, а в течение последнего года сделано сразу несколько громких заявок на создание общероссийских сетей из десятков и даже сотен объектов размещения.
Как полагают специалисты, владельцы российских гостиниц в большинстве своем пока не готовы к внедрению внешнего управления. «Идеи объединения в среде владельцев гостиниц (hoteliers) не пользуются популярностью, — отмечает руководитель консалтинговой компании Hotel Consulting & Development Group Александр Лесник. — Даже соглашаясь на отдельные совместные акции, владельцы гостиниц или их директора не готовы допустить посторонних ни к маркетингу, ни тем более к ценовой политике или влиянию на механизмы управления». Действительно, сегодня российские управляющие компании в гостиничном бизнесе в большинстве своем либо сами являются собственником управляемых объектов, либо представляют собой дочернюю организацию собственника.
Региональные сети
В России объявлено уже несколько проектов создания гостиничных сетей в общенациональном масштабе, однако большинство из них пока далеки от практической реализации.
По отдельным видам деятельности, в том числе гостиничной, планируется привлекать сторонних иностранных операторов как для прямого управления, так и для образования российского оператора.
«Сейчас на российском гостиничном рынке идет процесс консолидации. Я уверен, пройдут три — пять лет, и в России появятся несколько крупных гостиничных операторов, оперирующих небольшими сетями из 5—10 гостиниц», — говорит Александр Лесник.
20. Write an essay on the topic "Me, Myself and I in 15 Years".
PROJECT WORK
Think of your own business, the business you want to run, or the business you want to work for. Choose the company's activities (travel agency, hotel chain, car rental agency, etc.) and company's size. Create the name, the slogan and the program for you company. Describe basic work principles and your company's philosophy. Think of the advertising and marketing strategies of your company. Work out the business plan for the first year of operation. Choose your position in the company and describe your duties. Make a presentation of your company for your colleagues.
