E-Travel.
People do not always travel for pleasure. For example, exploration and emigration are very different from tourism! This kind of travel dows not always have a happy ending.

EXPLORATION

Explorers want to discover new places. Some of them hope to get rich. Others are sent by governments to find new lands, or to see if old ones have oil, or gold, or fresh water. People like Columbus, Vasco da Gama and Captain Cook traveled from Europe to find "New Worlds". Scientists, missionaries and doctors were often also explorers.

Most explorers are very brave. They do not know exactly what will happen. Even today, with good scientific help, they have to be prepared for disasters as well as successes. Neil Armstrong walked on the moon in 1969 - but in February 2003, the Columbia space shuttle blew up and killed all its astronauts. This was an accident. Part of the surface of the rocket had been damaged on a previous trip. Millions of people saw this on their TV screens. Space travel is still dangerous!

EMIGRATION

When times are hard, people often decide to go and work in another place. Sometimes it's because of politics, sometimes because of religion, and sometimes for economic reasons, because they see more possibilities in the new place.

Some parts of the world, like North and South America, Australia and New Zealand have attracted people from a lot of different countries. Even small countries attract immigrants. Often, different nationalities find opportunities in different kinds of jobs. In Britain, for example, many of the small grocery shops are now owned and tun by Indians.

Sometimes the different nationalities and cultures integrate well. At other time, there are problems. This is usually because of ignorance. The more we can learn about other people, the more we understand why they do things in a different way. That's interesting - and it also makes us think more about our own cultures, as well.

ECO-TOURISM

Too many tourists in one place can damage the environment. As people understand more about htis, they want to travel in a different way. They try to travel in ways that do not encourage global warming. They look for souvenirs that help the local economy. They use natural forms of energy when it is possible. They try to find a balance between having a good time, and protecting the planet. It's not always easy!
