Read the text below. For questions 54 to 58, choose the best answer (a, b, c or d).

Many hotel chains and tour operators say that they take their environmental commitments 

seriously, but often they do not respect their social and economic responsibilities to the

local community. So is it possible for travelers to help improve the lives of locals and

still have a good holiday?

The charity, Tourism Concern, thinks so. It has pioneered the concept of the fair-trade

holiday. The philosophy behind fair-trade travel is to make sure that local people get a

fair share of the income from tourism. The objectives are simple: employing local people

wherever possible; offering fair wages and treatment; showing cultural respect; involving

communities in deciding how tourism is developed; and making sure that visitors have

minimal environmental impact.

Although there is currently no official fair-trade accreditation for holidays, the

Association of Independent Tour Operators has worked hard to produce responsible

tourism guidelines for its members. Some new companies, operated as much by

principles as profits, offer a fantastic range of holidays for responsible and adventurous

travelers.

as well as profits.
