After a brief period of package holidays and mass tourism, the current

policy is to attract the ≪quality visitor≫. Because the amount of

Visitors must be limited to protect the environment, the quality of the

Tourist matters a great deal. Lindsay Chong Seng, a highly committed

Conservationist in the Ministry of Tourism, considers the economics

Extremely important: you have to earn as much as you can from each

tourist if numbers are to be kept down. ≪A perfect tourist is active, hires

A car, flies to other islands, (9) boat trips, eats out, goes diving,

Spends money. We don’t just want to be a beach resort. When you get

Mass tourists without a lot of spending (10), all you find is that

The shops do no business and the local bus service is overcrowded. This

Has been the fate of all too many tourist resorts in the Mediterranean,

with disastrous consequences.≫

Aged couple. Mrs Grove bent over so that her two friends could kiss

Her on the cheek. She then greeted Mr Lin. Mrs Grove firmly shook his

Hand. He was introduced to Alyssa, the teenage daughter. Makeup and

A stylish dress made Alyssa look much older than fifteen. There were

Tables set up in the backyard. As Mr Lin began eating, the Groves’ second

Daughter, Margaret, came over and introduced herself. She was a successful

Lawyer with a large firm in the city. Brad, the only son and his

Date constantly tried to be the centre of attention.

Florence was very active in programmes which tried to gain benefits

For senior citizens. Mr Lin had just read an article about homes for the

Aged. Since he was curious to know why old people did not spend their
