[00:08.71]2b Listen to the first part of the programme.
[00:24.83]With the holiday season once again upon us,
[00:27.18]millions of people all over the world
[00:29.18]are busy thinking about their annual¹ holidays..
[00:32.01]a chance to put our feet up,
[00:33.49]relax and do nothing for a week or two.
[00:36.43]Sitting in a traffic jam
[00:37.92]on the way to the coast,
[00:39.30]queuing up at a packed airport terminal²
[00:41.71]or fighting your way through the crowds
[00:43.28]to find a free spot on an overcrowded beach
[00:46.05]may not be the best thing to put you
[00:48.19]in that relaxed holiday mood,
[00:50.07]but for millions of us,
[00:51.77]it's worth it for those blessed few days
[00:54.86]where we can forget about work
[00:56.64]and truly get away from it all.
[00:59.13]But with more and more people
[01:00.90]taking to the skies every year,
[01:02.69]all too often the tourist's search
[01:04.71]for tranquility...
[01:05.93]or a touch of genuine³ local colour
[01:08.56]is ruined by thousands of other tourists
[01:11.41]all doing the same thing.
[01:13.64]It's as if the tourist industry
[01:15.33]is becoming its own worst enemy.
[01:16.82]
