The Rise of "Slow Travel"

In a world obsessed with speed, a new trend is emerging: Slow Travel. Unlike traditional tourism, which often involves rushing from one famous landmark to another to snap photos, Slow Travel encourages tourists to connect deeply with one location. It's about renting a local apartment for a week instead of a hotel for a night, shopping at neighborhood markets, and taking the time to have conversations with residents.

Proponents argue that this method reduces the carbon footprint of travel, as people take fewer flights and use more local transport. However, critics suggest that it requires a luxury that many workers simply don't have: time.

4. How does Slow Travel differ from traditional tourism?

A. It focuses on taking better photographs of famous landmarks. B. It prioritizes quality of connection over the quantity of sights seen. C. It is significantly cheaper than staying in hotels.

5. What is mentioned as a benefit of Slow Travel?

A. It helps the local economy more than hotels. B. It is more environmentally friendly due to reduced air travel. C. It allows tourists to learn the local language faster.

6. What is the main criticism of Slow Travel?
