Well, hello and welcome to this English lesson about travel and tourism.

To-infinitive

The first word that I want to teach you is the word tourist.

Modal verbs - A2

A tourist is a person that leaves their home to go visit another place to just see the things that you can see in that place.

They might even go to a completely different country.

Today in Niagara Falls, Canada, there are a lot of tourists here to see the really beautiful waterfall.

there, there are a lot of tourists who have traveled here to see the waterfall and other things that you can see.

Before I teach you the next word though, I do want to thank preply, the sponsor of this video.

if you're going to an English speaking country, Preply would be a great place to find someone to help improve your English before you go.

So you might be wondering, am I considered a tourist today?

In English, when you say someone is a local, it means they live close to the place where tourists usually come.

So all of the people around me are definitely tourists.

In fact, it only takes me about 35 minutes to drive here.

So that's definitely closer than all of these people who are tourists.

In fact, you might describe it as scenic in English.

When you say something is scenic, it usually means that it's natural, it's part of nature, and

So I would say that this is definitely a scenic view.

This is a very scenic place to come to do some sightseeing.

Now, earlier I said people travel to see the things you can see in that place.

They have come to see the things that are scenic.

And the word we use to describe, describe that is sightseeing.

So if you look up in the sky behind me, you will see a hot air balloon.

It's kind of far away and it's slowly coming down.

But that is one of the attractions here at Niagara Falls.

An attraction is something that people want to see or something that people want to do when they visit a touristy location like Niagara Falls.

Maybe they want to see the beautiful flower beds.

Maybe they want to see the zip line or go on the zip line.

Maybe they want to go on that hot air balloon.

Admission is the word we use to talk about things that cost money.

It's free to go and look at a beautiful flower bed.

So an attraction is something people want to see in a touristy area, and

admission is the price you pay if you want to see it or do that thing.

Any place that has a lot of tourists usually has a peak season and an off season.

Currently, this is the peak season for tourism here in Niagara Falls, Canada.

In the summer, the weather is usually beautiful.

And people come here because it's warm and it's nice to be outside, as opposed to the off season in the winter, where Niagara Falls is also very, very beautiful.

But it's just less likely that people will visit, at least not as many people as would visit in the peak season.

So when you're talking about tourism, peak season refers to the time of year when people are most likely to visit that place.

And the off season would be the opposite, the time of year when people are less likely to visit that location.

So one cool thing about going to a place like Niagara Falls or any other tourist location is you will usually find souvenir shops where you can buy souvenirs.

So a souvenir is a small item that you can buy to help you remember your trip.

If you wanted to remember your trip to Niagara Falls, you would come to a store like this, a souvenir shop, where you can buy souvenirs.

So, once again, a souvenir shop is a place that sells souvenirs.

And souvenirs are small items that you can buy so that you can remember your trip at a later date.

So there's a word in English we use to describe a place like this, and

And it simply means a place where you will find a lot of tourists, a place where there are a lot of places where tourists want to go.

There will be a lot of souvenir shops and attractions.

And obviously those things result in a lot of tourists being in that area.

As a local, I might add the word to in front and say this area is too touristy for me.

Sometimes when locals want to go out close to a place like Niagara Falls, they don't want to go to the place that's too touristy.

They want to go to a place that's a little more normal.

A place that has a lot of things that tourists want to see.

This is Clifton Hill, by the way, a very popular touristy place in Niagara Fall.

I do want to take a moment once again to thank Preply, the sponsor of this video.

Now obviously if you're going to go somewhere, you need a place to stay.

This is the English word we use to talk about hotels and Airbnbs, the places where you can stay when you are traveling to different places.

Now if you want to stay in a hotel or an Airbnb, you need to book a room.

You need to go online or use your phone in advance so that when you get there the room is reserved in your name.

So when you travel somewhere else, you need accommodations, you need a place to stay, you need to book those accommodations in advance.

So when you get there you have a reservation.
