    Individual businesses must work in partnership with other organisations in order to be successful. Tourism is a very competitive and complex sector and many companies develop links with other businesses as a way of maximising profits. If for example Thomas cook didn’t work with other hotels, insurance companies, company picks up on arrival, Thomas cook wouldn’t make any profits, as customers wouldn’t want to book a holiday with a company who don’t take out insurance, which if an accident happened they would have thousands to pay with no compensation. Also if customers were to book with a company who didn’t book with certain hotels, you could end up anywhere without any information about it. Whereas if Thomas cook have interrelationships with hotels they are more likely to be safer and nicer hotels, meaning customers trust Thomas cook knowing the hotel is good one. This increases profit due to more repeat purchases.…

    Culture comprises of “the beliefs, behaviors, objects, and other characteristics common to the members of a particular group or society” (1). Through culture, people discover their true identity, adapt to social norms and play a vital part in contributing to the society. Therefore, culture consists of several aspects of the society such as language, values, customs, norms, and so on. On the other hand, tourism consists of the practice or act of an individual or a group of people travelling to and staying in other destinations away from their home for less than a year for business, leisure and other purposes. It has a direct impact on the total national income for all countries which participate in tourism and also helps to increase employment and boost the performance and cultures of a country.…

    Wearing helmet is protect us when we meet traffic accident. Traffic accident is the most concerning problem we are facing today. The figure of the accident had become increasing and most of people are injured and died from day to day. To solve their problem, government of Cambodia especially the capital of Phnom Penh has been introduced all Khmer people to wear helmet. In my opinion, wearing helmet provides us some benefits for some reasons. First of all, wearing helmet helps to reduce traffic accident. People will pay enough attention while they are driving their motors if they wear helmet. Moreover, it helps us in protecting our eyes from the dust or terrible lights from others vehicles because we don’t need to use our hand or fingers to clean it while we are controlling our vehicles. And than wearing helmet helps you to oblige your duty as a real citizen. Wearing helmet is the law; someone who broke it would be fine by the police. People who wears helmet will become the responsible person because they obey the traffic law and traffic lights. It is the waste of time and money if police fine you. So, being a person you must have a sense of responsibility. Finally, wearing helmet helps you to protect your life. While you are controlling your vehicle on the roads you would face a lot of problems especially accident by wearing helmet can protect your head from danger. Head is the most important part for everyone. If our heads have problem we can’t do anything, or sometimes it can cause to be abnormal or crazy or ever dead. All in all, wearing helmet is very useful for us especially our lives protected. We can’t buy our lives but we can prevent it by wearing helmet as Khmer proverb say “Prevention is better than cure”. Together wear helmet are make our country will be in…

    It really affects my views a lot because at first, I only knew all the advantages of the tourism industry that it will have an impact for the common good of the economy and of our country. It changed my perspective because these things are hidden; rarely to be discuss by others because it does not affect tourist but by some means greatly affect the locals residing from the tourist attractions. Having a government like now which is very lax and corrupt, those truths are inevitable to happen and it will occur repeatedly until we destroy our resources. These were the truths of Tourism but we are blind to see it, we chose not to see it and we are selfish for that. For me, all the blames will eventually end up to the government because they are the ones who have the authority over tourism sector and they should know how to control it. It is somehow true that our government is very dependent in the Tourism industry. They focus their attention too much that they forgot other sectors that will actually aid our progress as a well-improved country. In which, is very disappointing and now we are experiencing scarcity and inflation most of the time. My outlook about tourism had greatly changed since I read it and it is so disheartening to realize these things because I believed that it can really help the growth of our country however, our government is so useless that they did not do some actions. Moreover, we tend to abuse our resources and in the end, nothing left for our next generation. My views as of now, is that tourism is one of the factors that can help build up an economy and a nation with the helping hand of the government. The government should balance the other sectors because not all money can come with tourism but we just need more improvement to achieve a refine country.…
