your training day we're going to look at some of the more specialized holidays we offer at BC
travel now the travel
business is very competitive and it's important to be aware of how the markets changing and
developing in terms of age
groups the over 65s are an important market and one that's increasing
steadily year-on-year. the fewest holidays are taken by the 31 to 42 year
olds and that figure shows no sign of rising the biggest market at present is
still the youngest group the 16 to 30s but this groups also seen the biggest
drop over the last few years whereas there's a noticeable growth in the
number of holidays taken by the 55 to 64 year olds as far as the 43 to 54 year
olds are concerned bookings there are steady but I have to say we haven't seen
the increase we expected one trend we're noticing with nearly all age groups is
the growing popularity of holidays in which clients do some kind of specialized activity I'm not
talking
here about adventure holidays where clients take part in high-risk activities like whitewater
rafting just
for the thrill of it activity holidays usually involve rather less high-risk
sports or things like art and music they're not necessarily cheaper than
ordinary holidays often the opposite in fact but they do often take place outside the main tourist
centers which
gives an opportunity for clients to find out more about the local people and customs and many
say this is one of the
most positive features of these holidays of course they offer the chance to
develop a new skill or talent but clients often say that more than this
it's the chance to create lasting relationships with other like-minded people that's
the main draw .let me give you some examples of BC travel activity holidays
our painting holidays take place in four different centers in France and Italy
and they're very popular with clients of all abilities from beginners onwards
we've got an excellent team of artists to lead the classes some of them have
been with us from the start and five additional ones will be joining us this year so that we can
offer a greater
number of classes in each Center as far as cooking holidays are concerned I know
a lot of agents offer holidays where clients cook recipes related to one
particular country usually the one they're staying in but we focus on dishes from a great many
different ones
apart from that you'll find the usual emphasis on good quality organic
ingredients that's more or less a given nowadays and there are generally some meat free recipes
included. our
photography holidays take place in a wide range of countries from Iceland to Vietnam and
clients have the opportunity
to see some stunning scenery groups are small no more than eight so clients can
have one on one (individual) tuition kèm riêng during the holiday and excursions are arranged
with
fully trained guides at the end of each holiday an exhibition is held of the
photographs taken so that clients can see one another's work and receive valuable feedback from
the tutor before

so basically the problem we're addressing in our case study of the
horton castle site is why so few tourists are visiting it and we'll find
out more from our interviews but I did find one report on the internet that suggested that one
reason might be
because as far as transport goes access is difficult I read that too but that
reports was actually written ten years ago when the road there was really bad
but that's been improved now and I think there's plenty of fascinating stuff
there for a really good day out but you'd never realize it from the castle website maybe that's
the problem
yes it's really dry and boring I read somewhere a suggestion that what the
castle needs is a visitor center so we could have a look for some information
about that on the Internet what would we need to know well who'd use it for a
start it would be good to know what categories the visitors fell into - like
school parties or retired people but I think we'd have to talk to staff to get
that information okay and as we're thinking of suggesting a visitor center
we'd also have to look at potential problems I mean obviously it wouldn't be
cheap to set up no but it could be a really good investment and as it's on a
historical site it did need to get special planning permission I expect that might be hard right
especially as
the only possible place for it would be at the entrance and that's right in front of the castle hmm
but it could be
a good thing for the town of Horton a presence it's a bit of a ghost town once
they left school and got any skills or qualifications the young people all get
out as fast as they can to get jobs in the city and the only people left a
children and those who've retired right something else we could
investigate would be the potential damage that tourists might cause to the castle site I mean their
environmental
impact at present the tourists can just wander round wherever they want
but if numbers increase there might have to be some restrictions like sticking to
marked ways and that need to be guides and wardens around to make sure these
are enforced yes we could look at that too okay

Good afternoon and thank you for your warm welcome. This will be the first talk in a series of
five on Health interventions, protection and prevention . Could I start by asking for a show of
hands—how many of you had a flu vaccination at the beginning of winter? Mmm...I thought so.
You young ones always think you're indestructible.
Well, as you are no doubt aware disease-spreading germs or pathogens mầm bệnh are
everywhere. On a daily basis the human body has to ward off =fighting off attacks by various
harmful bacteria and viruses. A healthy body has a good defence system against many of these
germs but the defence only operates well against micro-organisms that it has already
encountered, in which case it is said to be immune. There are two ways in which humans acquire
natural immunity: actively, when a person has first suffered and then recovered from an illness ,
and passively, when ready-made protection is transferred into the body, for example, from the
maternal blood via the umbilical cord to an unborn child, or through breast milk.
Now, artificially acquired immunity can help the body to fight disease so we can
use active immunisation as a preventative measure. This is when a person is vaccinated against
an illness by injection or oral ingestion of a tiny amount of weakened or inactive germs—not
enough to actually cause him or her to contract the illness but sufficient for the body's defence
system to recognise and respond to the threat by forming antibodies kháng thể.
Intervention using passive immunlsation, on the other hand, is a method of curing an illness after
it is too late for prevention. It is less effective than active immunisation and takes longer to work.
It is used when the body has already been invaded by bacteria and the person is ill. In this case
there is no time for the body to make antibodies of its own so proteins—usually taken from
the blood of animals—are injected to equip the patient with the essential antibodies to combat
the particular illness.
Let's have a quick look at a bit of history: The discovery of vaccination to boost the body's
immune system by making it sensitive to particular disease-causing bacteria was made by an
eighteenth-century English doctor called Edward Jenner. He noticed that survivors of smallpox, a
common but extremely dangerous disease, never contracted the disease a second time. In other
words, they were immune. He studied a similar disease in cows called cowpox and realised that
people in contact with the infected cows became ill with symptoms resembling smallpox.
However, this disease was quite mild by comparison and those who contracted cowpox were
then immune to smallpox. He conducted= carry out an experiment by injecting a child with a
small amount of pus taken from a cowpox pustule. The child subsequently became ill but soon
recovered. Later, he injected the child with pus from a smallpox pustule and the child did not get
sick. He had developed immunity to the more dangerous disease. The antibodies produced to
fight the cowpox bacteria had been able to fight off the smallpox bacteria.
