TOURISM

If you wish to go abroad, you need a passport.
A passport is issued by the Department of Foreign Affairs. Then you must have the Government’s permission to leave the country. That permission is called an exit permit, or an exit-visa. It is simply an approval stamped on a page of the passport. In order to visit a foreign country, you need an entry visa, which is given by a official at the embassy of that foreign country. The passport and the visas are examined by immigration officers at the airport or at the harbour.
A travel bureau may help you obtain your passport and visa. It will charge you a fee for this service.
The airport employee at the information desk may be able to give you some information about the leading hotels in the city.
Also some big hotels have their representatives at the airport. Some of them have a special taxi service, so that the traveler need not hire a taxi for himself.
It is advisable to make ou hotel reservation several days or weeks in advance. The guest checks in at the front office of the hotel, or at the reception desk. You may ask for a single room or a double room.
The rates vay from twenty to thirty dollars a day. You can have meals at reasonable prices in the coffee-shop.There is usually a tourist bureau at the hotel, which arranges guided tours to various tourist resorts. They have qualified guides, who know all about the places of historical and cultural interest about customs and traditions, shows, and so on
