respnsible turism
Travel that is nt harmful t the cultural r natural envirnment.It can imprve the life f lcal peple and help prtect the envirnment.
A rad less travelled
Amy Carter-James is small,blue-eyed and blnde,with a friendly smile.She desn’t lk like she culd change the lives f thusands f peple but,clearly,she has.
It all started when Amy tk a gap year in Africa after she finished university. “I spent eight mnths vlunteering in a very pr cuntryside schl in Kenya,” she says. “That was the first time I saw pverty.I was s yung and s easily inspired and I thught, ‘Why can’t turism d the same thing fr cmmunity develpment?’”
On her return t England,22-year-ld Amy and her byfriend Neal decided t take “the rad less travelled”.They drve acrss Mzambique,ne f the prest cuntries in Africa,but it wasn’t exactly a hliday.Mzambique had tw qualities which appealed t them:great attractin as a travel destinatin and lcal peple wh badly needed help.Once there,the cuple gt ff the beaten track and headed fr Quirimbas Natinal Park,where they fund a tiny stretch f white sand clse t a village.Life in the village was hard:there was little clean water and nt enugh fd.Health care was pr and peple in the village had a life expectancy f 38 years.Amy and Neal had n qualificatins in turism r health care buy they had cmmn sense,enthusiasm and determinatin. They talked t the villagers abut their plan t create a small beach resrt,which wuld prvide emplyment fr peple s that they culd have a better life.The respnse frm the villagers was extremely psitive.Their nly questin was:”When can yu start?”
The cuple set t wrk n a beach ldge,building beach huts frm lcal materials and emplying peple frm the area.Once the ldge was cmplete,they set up a charitable fundatin called NEMA,which received 5% f the mney made.This mney was used t create clean water pints,fund health care prjects,build tw primary schls and supprt cnservatin prjects—it helped t imprve the lives f thusands f peple. “We wanted t shw the wrld the pwer f turism,that it culd be a vehicle fr change,” says Amy.
It isn’t easy t get t this village.It’s nt a typical package hliday with airprt pick-ups and drp-ffs.There’s n public transprt,either.The nearest is abut 260 kilmetres away and nce there,yu have t take a bat r g n a three-hur car jurney alng badly maintained rads.But the village ldge is wrth the effrt.Tday the ldge has nine beach huts,with beautiful sea views. There are n verpriced gift shps and ther turist traps.It’s the perfect place t take time ut, escape the crwds and sak up the sun.Visitrs can see the sights—explre the island nearby with a tur guide,g scuba-diving r bserve African wildlife.But the highlight fr many is getting t knw peple in the village,taking part in festivals and learning abut NEMA’s wrk. “Peple wh stay with us ften cme fr the diving r the beach,” says Amy, “but it’s the cmmunities that really blw them away.”
Amy and Neal are nt alne:all ver the wrld,similar cmmunity-based turism prjects are being set up.This new cncept is changing turism and recreatin,ne ldge at a time.
NEMA in numbers
·2 new primary schls
·150 secndary schl schlarships

【参考译文】
鲜有人走的路
艾米·卡特·詹姆斯个子矮小，金发碧眼，面带友善的微笑。她看起来不像能改变成千上万人的生活，但很明显，她能。
这一切都始于艾米大学毕业后在非洲度过了一个间隔年。“我在肯尼亚一所非常贫穷的乡村学校做了8个月的志愿者，”她说。“那是我第一次看到贫穷。我当时很年轻，很容易受到启发，于是我想，‘为什么旅游业不能为社区发展做同样的事情呢?’”
回到英国后，22岁的艾米和她的男友尼尔决定走一条“鲜为人知的路”。他们开车穿越莫桑比克，非洲最贫穷的国家之一，但那天并不是真正的假日。莫桑比克有两大特点吸引着他们:一是作为旅游目的地的巨大吸引力，二是当地人民急需帮助。一到那里，这对夫妇就离开了人迹罕至的小路，前往基里姆巴斯国家公园，在那里，他们在一个村庄附近发现了一小片白色沙滩。村里的生活很艰苦:几乎没有干净的水，也没有足够的食物。卫生保健很差，村里的人预期寿命只有38岁。艾米和尼尔没有旅游或医疗方面的资历，但他们有常识、热情和决心。他们向村民们介绍了他们计划建立一个小型海滩度假村，为人们提供就业机会，让他们过上更好的生活。村民们的反应非常积极。他们唯一的问题是:“你什么时候能开始工作?”
这对夫妇开始在海滩小屋工作，用当地的材料建造海滩小屋，雇佣当地的人。小屋建成后，他们成立了一个名为NEMA的慈善基金会，所得款项的5%归NEMA所有。这笔钱被用于建立清洁水源，资助医疗保健项目，建造两所小学和支持保护项目——它帮助改善了数千人的生活。“我们想向世界展示旅游业的力量，它可以成为一种变革的工具，”艾米说。
到这个村庄不容易。这不是一个典型的机场接送的包价度假。那里也没有公共交通。最近的城市也有260公里远。到了那里，你必须乘船或沿着维修得很差的道路开车3个小时。但是乡村小屋是值得的。如今，这家旅馆有九间海滩小屋，还能看到美丽的海景。这里没有价格过高的礼品店和其他旅游陷阱。这是一个休息、远离人群、享受阳光的完美地方。游客可以在导游的陪同下探索附近的岛屿，潜水或观察非洲野生动物。但对许多人来说，最重要的是结识村里的人，参加节日活动，了解NEMA的工作。“和我们住在一起的人通常是为了潜水或去海滩，”艾米说，“但真正让他们感到震惊的是这里的社区。”
艾米和尼尔并非个例:世界各地都在建立类似的以社区为基础的旅游项目。这个新概念正在改变旅游和娱乐，一次一个旅馆。
NEMA的数量
·2所新的小学
·中学奖学金150项
·800份小学膳食
·8000顶蚊帐

The histry f Rute 66
It’s ver 4,000 km lng and crsses tw-thirds f the USA.It’s been called “The Main Street f America”.It’s been described in films,bks and sngs and there’s even a piece n display at the Smithsnian Museum in Washingtn.Welcme t Rute 66.
Rute 66 starts in the city f Chicag.Outside the city,it cuts thrugh crnfields and the cattle farms f the West,int gld mining twns,ver deserts and thrugh valleys,winding arund lakes and muntains,until it arrives in Ls Angeles n the Pacific Ocean.Midwest America is cnnected with the West Cast,and the past is cnnected with the present.Let’s g back t the 1920s t see hw it all began.
1920s
In the early 1920s,life in Midwest America was very different.Peple didn’t use t travel much because there were n highways near the small twns—a trip t LA wuld usually take weeks.But in 1926,things started t change thanks t a new rad called Rute 66.This new rad pened up the American West t hundreds f thusands f peple.Agricultural cmmunities started t grw and develp int twns.Farmers were als able t sell their prduce in big cities.
1930s
In the mid-1930s,hard times returned.America was suffering frm the Great Depressin and acrss the cuntry,millins f peple were ut f wrk.In the Midwest,serius drught cnditins and dust strms destryed farmland and thusands f families were frced t leave their hmes.They headed fr Califrnia,alng Rute 66,where they had heard there were agricultural jbs. Unfrtunately,the rad led them t pr twns utside twns and cities.Rute 66 became cnnected with the pain and difficulties f this great mvement f peple.
1940s-1950s
When the Great Depressin came t an end after Wrld War II,there was a new age f hpe and thusands mved frm East t West,lking fr a better life.Peple had mre free time and many wned cars.Families wuldn’t stay at hme during hlidays.Instead,they wuld drive alng Rute 66 t the beaches f Califrnia,visiting the attractins alng the way.It was a glden time fr the rad and hundreds f restaurants,mtels and service statins lined the rute.The rad had a brand new image—ne f freedm and fun.
1956-present day
As mre peple travelled frm East t West,a newer,bigger rad was needed and wrk began n a natinal highway.Sadly,the twns and attractins alng Rute 66 began t die ut.Then in the 1990s,peple started prjects t prtect the ld rad,new signs were put up and turists began t travel dwn it nce again.
Tday,the rad still ffers an amazing jurney thrugh the American West.Whether yu want the freedm f the pen rad,a trip int the past,r simply an ily burger frm an all-American restaurant,yu can still “get yur kicks n Rute 66”.

66号公路的历史
它长4000多公里，横跨美国三分之二的国土。它被称为“美国的主要街道”。电影、书籍和歌曲中都描述过它，甚至华盛顿的史密森尼博物馆(Smithsnian Museum)也展出过它的一件作品。欢迎来到66号公路。
66号公路从芝加哥出发。在城外，它穿过西部的玉米地和养牛场，穿过沙漠和山谷，绕过湖泊和山脉，到达太平洋上的洛杉矶。美国中西部与西海岸相连，过去与现在相连。让我们回到20世纪20年代，看看这一切是如何开始的。
1920年代
在20世纪20年代早期，美国中西部的生活完全不同。人们过去不常旅行，因为小镇附近没有高速公路——到洛杉矶旅行通常要花上几周时间。但在1926年，由于一条名为66号公路的新路，情况开始发生变化。这条新路使成千上万的人进入了美国西部。农业社区开始发展成为城镇。农民也可以在大城市出售他们的农产品。
1930年代
20世纪30年代中期，艰难的日子又回来了。当时美国正遭受大萧条，全国各地有数百万人失业。在中西部，严重的干旱和沙尘暴摧毁了农田，成千上万的家庭被迫离开家园。他们沿着66号公路前往加利福尼亚，他们听说那里有农业工作。不幸的是，这条路把他们带到了城镇之外的贫穷城镇。66号公路与这场伟大的人民运动的痛苦和困难联系在一起。
1940年代- 1950年代
第二次世界大萧条结束后，出现了一个充满希望的新时代，成千上万的人从东方移居到西方，寻找更好的生活。人们有了更多的空闲时间，许多人拥有汽车。节假日家人都不呆在家里。相反，他们会沿着66号公路开车去加利福尼亚的海滩，参观沿途的景点。这是这条路的黄金时期，数百家餐馆、汽车旅馆和服务站沿路排列。这条路有了一个全新的形象——自由和乐趣。
1956 -现在
随着越来越多的人从东向西旅行，需要一条更新、更大的道路，一条国家公路开始动工。可悲的是，66号公路沿线的城镇和景点开始消失。然后在20世纪90年代，人们开始了保护这条旧路的项目，新的标志被竖立起来，游客们又开始沿着这条路走了。
今天，这条路仍然是一条穿越美国西部的神奇之旅。不管你是想要自由自在的公路旅行，还是想要一次回到过去的旅行，或者只是想要一个来自美式餐厅的油腻汉堡，你仍然可以“在66号公路上享受你的乐趣”。

A rad less travelled
Amy Carter-James is small,blue-eyed and blnde,with a friendly smile.She desn’t lk like she culd change the lives f thusands f peple but,clearly,she has.
It all started when Amy tk a gap year in Africa after she finished university. “I spent eight mnths vlunteering in a very pr cuntryside schl in Kenya,” she says. “That was the first time I saw pverty.I was s yung and s easily inspired and I thught, ‘Why can’t turism d the same thing fr cmmunity develpment?’”
On her return t England,22-year-ld Amy and her byfriend Neal decided t take “the rad less travelled”.They drve acrss Mzambique,ne f the prest cuntries in Africa,but it wasn’t exactly a hliday.Mzambique had tw qualities which appealed t them:great attractin as a travel destinatin and lcal peple wh badly needed help.Once there,the cuple gt ff the beaten track and headed fr Quirimbas Natinal Park,where they fund a tiny stretch f white sand clse t a village.Life in the village was hard:there was little clean water and nt enugh fd.Health care was pr and peple in the village had a life expectancy f 38 years.Amy and Neal had n qualificatins in turism r health care buy they had cmmn sense,enthusiasm and determinatin. They talked t the villagers abut their plan t create a small beach resrt,which wuld prvide emplyment fr peple s that they culd have a better life.The respnse frm the villagers was extremely psitive.Their nly questin was:”When can yu start?”
The cuple set t wrk n a beach ldge,building beach huts frm lcal materials and emplying peple frm the area.Once the ldge was cmplete,they set up a charitable fundatin called NEMA,which received 5% f the mney made.This mney was used t create clean water pints,fund health care prjects,build tw primary schls and supprt cnservatin prjects—it helped t imprve the lives f thusands f peple. “We wanted t shw the wrld the pwer f turism,that it culd be a vehicle fr change,” says Amy.
It isn’t easy t get t this village.It’s nt a typical package hliday with airprt pick-ups and drp-ffs.There’s n public transprt,either.The nearest is abut 260 kilmetres away and nce there,yu have t take a bat r g n a three-hur car jurney alng badly maintained rads.But the village ldge is wrth the effrt.Tday the ldge has nine beach huts,with beautiful sea views. There are n verpriced gift shps and ther turist traps.It’s the perfect place t take time ut, escape the crwds and sak up the sun.Visitrs can see the sights—explre the island nearby with a tur guide,g scuba-diving r bserve African wildlife.But the highlight fr many is getting t knw peple in the village,taking part in festivals and learning abut NEMA’s wrk. “Peple wh stay with us ften cme fr the diving r the beach,” says Amy, “but it’s the cmmunities that really blw them away.”
Amy and Neal are nt alne:all ver the wrld,similar cmmunity-based turism prjects are being set up.This new cncept is changing turism and recreatin,ne ldge at a time.

鲜有人走的路
艾米·卡特·詹姆斯个子矮小，金发碧眼，面带友善的微笑。她看起来不像能改变成千上万人的生活，但很明显，她能。
这一切都始于艾米大学毕业后在非洲度过了一个间隔年。“我在肯尼亚一所非常贫穷的乡村学校做了8个月的志愿者，”她说。“那是我第一次看到贫穷。我当时很年轻，很容易受到启发，于是我想，‘为什么旅游业不能为社区发展做同样的事情呢?’”
回到英国后，22岁的艾米和她的男友尼尔决定走一条“鲜为人知的路”。他们开车穿越莫桑比克，非洲最贫穷的国家之一，但那天并不是真正的假日。莫桑比克有两大特点吸引着他们:一是作为旅游目的地的巨大吸引力，二是当地人民急需帮助。一到那里，这对夫妇就离开了人迹罕至的小路，前往基里姆巴斯国家公园，在那里，他们在一个村庄附近发现了一小片白色沙滩。村里的生活很艰苦:几乎没有干净的水，也没有足够的食物。卫生保健很差，村里的人预期寿命只有38岁。艾米和尼尔没有旅游或医疗方面的资历，但他们有常识、热情和决心。他们向村民们介绍了他们计划建立一个小型海滩度假村，为人们提供就业机会，让他们过上更好的生活。村民们的反应非常积极。他们唯一的问题是:“你什么时候能开始工作?”
这对夫妇开始在海滩小屋工作，用当地的材料建造海滩小屋，雇佣当地的人。小屋建成后，他们成立了一个名为NEMA的慈善基金会，所得款项的5%归NEMA所有。这笔钱被用于建立清洁水源，资助医疗保健项目，建造两所小学和支持保护项目——它帮助改善了数千人的生活。“我们想向世界展示旅游业的力量，它可以成为一种变革的工具，”艾米说。
到这个村庄不容易。这不是一个典型的机场接送的包价度假。那里也没有公共交通。最近的城市也有260公里远。到了那里，你必须乘船或沿着维修得很差的道路开车3个小时。但是乡村小屋是值得的。如今，这家旅馆有九间海滩小屋，还能看到美丽的海景。这里没有价格过高的礼品店和其他旅游陷阱。这是一个休息、远离人群、享受阳光的完美地方。游客可以在导游的陪同下探索附近的岛屿，潜水或观察非洲野生动物。但对许多人来说，最重要的是结识村里的人，参加节日活动，了解NEMA的工作。“和我们住在一起的人通常是为了潜水或去海滩，”艾米说，“但真正让他们感到震惊的是这里的社区。”
艾米和尼尔并非个例:世界各地都在建立类似的以社区为基础的旅游项目。这个新概念正在改变旅游和娱乐，一次一个旅馆。

·中学奖学金150项

The histry f Rute 66
It’s ver 4,000 km lng and crsses tw-thirds f the USA.It’s been called “The Main Street f America”.It’s been described in films,bks and sngs and there’s even a piece n display at the Smithsnian Museum in Washingtn.Welcme t Rute 66.
Rute 66 starts in the city f Chicag.Outside the city,it cuts thrugh crnfields and the cattle farms f the West,int gld mining twns,ver deserts and thrugh valleys,winding arund lakes and muntains,until it arrives in Ls Angeles n the Pacific Ocean.Midwest America is cnnected with the West Cast,and the past is cnnected with the present.Let’s g back t the 1920s t see hw it all began.
1920s
In the early 1920s,life in Midwest America was very different.Peple didn’t use t travel much because there were n highways near the small twns—a trip t LA wuld usually take weeks.But in 1926,things started t change thanks t a new rad called Rute 66.This new rad pened up the American West t hundreds f thusands f peple.Agricultural cmmunities started t grw and develp int twns.Farmers were als able t sell their prduce in big cities.
1930s
In the mid-1930s,hard times returned.America was suffering frm the Great Depressin and acrss the cuntry,millins f peple were ut f wrk.In the Midwest,serius drught cnditins and dust strms destryed farmland and thusands f families were frced t leave their hmes.They headed fr Califrnia,alng Rute 66,where they had heard there were agricultural jbs. Unfrtunately,the rad led them t pr twns utside twns and cities.Rute 66 became cnnected with the pain and difficulties f this great mvement f peple.
1940s-1950s
When the Great Depressin came t an end after Wrld War II,there was a new age f hpe and thusands mved frm East t West,lking fr a better life.Peple had mre free time and many wned cars.Families wuldn’t stay at hme during hlidays.Instead,they wuld drive alng Rute 66 t the beaches f Califrnia,visiting the attractins alng the way.It was a glden time fr the rad and hundreds f restaurants,mtels and service statins lined the rute.The rad had a brand new image—ne f freedm and fun.
1956-present day
As mre peple travelled frm East t West,a newer,bigger rad was needed and wrk began n a natinal highway.Sadly,the twns and attractins alng Rute 66 began t die ut.Then in the 1990s,peple started prjects t prtect the ld rad,new signs were put up and turists began t travel dwn it nce again.
Tday,the rad still ffers an amazing jurney thrugh the American West.Whether yu want the freedm f the pen rad,a trip int the past,r simply an ily burger frm an all-American restaurant,yu can still “get yur kicks n Rute 66”.

66号公路的历史
它长4000多公里，横跨美国三分之二的国土。它被称为“美国的主要街道”。电影、书籍和歌曲中都描述过它，甚至华盛顿的史密森尼博物馆(Smithsnian Museum)也展出过它的一件作品。欢迎来到66号公路。
66号公路从芝加哥出发。在城外，它穿过西部的玉米地和养牛场，穿过沙漠和山谷，绕过湖泊和山脉，到达太平洋上的洛杉矶。美国中西部与西海岸相连，过去与现在相连。让我们回到20世纪20年代，看看这一切是如何开始的。
1920年代
在20世纪20年代早期，美国中西部的生活完全不同。人们过去不常旅行，因为小镇附近没有高速公路——到洛杉矶旅行通常要花上几周时间。但在1926年，由于一条名为66号公路的新路，情况开始发生变化。这条新路使成千上万的人进入了美国西部。农业社区开始发展成为城镇。农民也可以在大城市出售他们的农产品。
1930年代
20世纪30年代中期，艰难的日子又回来了。当时美国正遭受大萧条，全国各地有数百万人失业。在中西部，严重的干旱和沙尘暴摧毁了农田，成千上万的家庭被迫离开家园。他们沿着66号公路前往加利福尼亚，他们听说那里有农业工作。不幸的是，这条路把他们带到了城镇之外的贫穷城镇。66号公路与这场伟大的人民运动的痛苦和困难联系在一起。
1940年代- 1950年代
第二次世界大萧条结束后，出现了一个充满希望的新时代，成千上万的人从东方移居到西方，寻找更好的生活。人们有了更多的空闲时间，许多人拥有汽车。节假日家人都不呆在家里。相反，他们会沿着66号公路开车去加利福尼亚的海滩，参观沿途的景点。这是这条路的黄金时期，数百家餐馆、汽车旅馆和服务站沿路排列。这条路有了一个全新的形象——自由和乐趣。
1956 -现在
随着越来越多的人从东向西旅行，需要一条更新、更大的道路，一条国家公路开始动工。可悲的是，66号公路沿线的城镇和景点开始消失。然后在20世纪90年代，人们开始了保护这条旧路的项目，新的标志被竖立起来，游客们又开始沿着这条路走了。
今天，这条路仍然是一条穿越美国西部的神奇之旅。不管你是想要自由自在的公路旅行，还是想要一次回到过去的旅行，或者只是想要一个来自美式餐厅的油腻汉堡，你仍然可以“在66号公路上享受你的乐趣”。
