Nowadays people travel more often than they did in the past. They tend to travel longer distances and at much higher speeds. People can travel on business and for pleasure. It is great to feel oneself to be thousands of miles away from home. Travelling gives you an opportunity to enjoy sightseeing, to visit big cities and small villages, to admire foreign architecture, cuisine and culture or to make friends. Today more and more people are fond of travelling to exotic countries. Holidaymakers are interested in doing something different and want more exciting travel, so tour companies have responded with a new range of options. Any travel agency will show you colourful catalogues with beautiful beaches and modern hotels and will help you arrange your journey. Exotic travel gives tourists a chance to participate in exciting experiences. In exotic countries they can ride a camel or an elephant, admire ancient temples, see mountains, jungles and beaches, go on safari and watch the daily life of local people. They can enjoy good service in high quality hotels. Most travellers are convinced that exotic travel is very rewarding because it can lead to totally new under standing of diverse cultures and lifestyles.
