Epcot at Walt Disney World® in Florida is a theme park which consists of two parts: Future World, which explores the role of communications, transport, agriculture, and energy and also looks at the world of imagination, and World of Showcase, which examines the world about us, recreating the sights and smells of such far apart places as Britain and Beijing.
In the World of Showcase there are exhibitions on the following countries: Canada, China, France, Germany, Italia, Japan, Norway, United Kingdom, USA, Russia.
If you were designing your own World Showcase Theme Park what exhibits would you build for each of the countries? Discuss in groups. You can add other countries if you want. To help you, here are some of the UK exhibits at the World Showcase: red telephone boxes, warm beer in a traditional pub, a tea shop in a country cottage, half-timbered houses.

The Retail Travel Agent
Retail travel services are similar to clothing stores, except that they sell intangible services rather than tangible goods. Nevertheless, agency offices are often found in the same shopping areas as expensive stores, like the airline and travel offices along the streets like Fifth Avenue in New York or the ChampsElysées in Paris. The retail travel agents sell all kinds of tourist products – transportation, accommodations, sightseeing, and so on – to the general public.
The term retail distinguishes him from the tour operator or packager, who can be 
considered the manufacturer or wholesaler of the tourist industry. 
Nowadays the growth of the airlines led to a corresponding growth in the number 
of retail travel agents. The airlines offer inducements to travel agents to handle reservations for them so that the airlines do not have to set up elaborate network ticket 
offices in all the market areas from which they draw passengers. Most airlines have 
sales and ticket offices only in those cities which they serve with actual flights.
Even where the airlines do have ticket offices, many travelers still prefer to use the services of an agent. The agent of course offers the customer one-stop convenience. 
The traveler can make all the arrangements for his trip without having to go to separate
