Encourage Young Americans See the Would Atoroad
The good old days of Arthur Frommer’s "Europe on $ 5 a Day" are long gone. With exchange rates this month reaching a high of $ 1. 59 to the euro, American travelers are paying more than 50 Percent more for hotels, food and other expenses throughout Europe. That’s if they can even afford to get there. Depending on the destination, intenational travel tickets are as much as $ 350 more expensive than last year, according rick Seaney, Ceo of FareCompare. com, a discount travel site. The reason for the rising ticket prices: fuel surcharges and interna- tional travel taxes, both of which have increased this year.
That may explain why STA Travel—the largest student and youth travel organization in the world—has seen an initial 20 percent decrease in students traveling to Europe. "There is no doubt that the impact of the economy, fuel prices and exchange rates have affected travel," says Kristen Celko,vice president of marketing and e-commerce for STA Travel North America.
Not all would-be backpackers are staying home. "The interesting thing about the student market, though, is that they have a finite time to travel before they have to work," says Celko. "So they’re usually resilient in traveling anyway. " So where are kids going? WTA Travel has seen a modest increase in students traveling to Latin and South America, Asia and Australia. According to Celko, while it’s not necessarily cheaper to get those destinations, the dollar goes much farther once they arrive. Still, it’s far from free. "I’ve heard about little deals here and there, but that doesn’t even begin to cover the expenses once you get there," said 23-year-old nursing student Maggie Payne, referring to the costs of food, souvenirs and other miscellaneous expenses. " And then there’s entertainment, which is the point of traveling," she says. "That all really adds up, as well."
Of course, not going has its own, intangible cost. The college years are when most people are embracing the world around them, says David Diamond, the president and co-founder of Global Student Experience, a study abroad program. "As nationalization and globalization increases, it’s more important that the U. S. citizens are able to develop a sense of cultural awareness," says Diamond. "This awareness comes to life when you’re able to live in the culture, even if it’s for a short time. It truly opens your eyes to what you don’t realize, know or understand. "
What do the deals Maggie Payne mentioned in Para. 3 probably cover?
选项
A、Everything during travel time.
B、The air fares.
C、Food and souvenirs.
D、Entertainment.
答案
B
解析
事实细节题。由题干定位到第三段可知,Maggie Payne对自己听到的一些旅游产品的描述是:这些旅游产品和各种名目繁多的花费,当然也不包括娱乐费用。而[B]“机票钱"应包含在到达目的地之前的费用中,故为正确答案。[A]、[C]、[D]都包括了到达目地之后的费用,故均排除。
