Instructioins for Travellers to India

During  the day temperatures are high and so for comfort we recommend lightweight cotton clothing in preference to synthetic fabrics. Early morning and after sunset can be cold, so you will need a jachet and woollen sweater or cardigan. Although it is usual to change for dinner, smart casual wear is acceptable even in the best hotels, so jacket and tie are optional.

When sightseeing you will find a pair of flat sturdy walking shoes indispensable.

Suitable clothing should be worn when entering temples and other religious buildings. Visitors may not be permitted entrance if they are wearing shorts or have bare shoulders. Woman are advised to wear clothes which  cover both their shoulders and their knees.

It is not permitted to walk through temples or mosques wearing shoes, and occasionally bags and belts must also be left at the entrance. Canvas overshoes are usually provided, for which a small tip of about 5 rupees is customary.

UNIT  4
Writing 1

Currency fluctuations have many British holidaymarkers there going to countires where the pound buy more. The USA, Turkey and Italy  are more attractive than Spain, France and Grece there business are going down.

Last year 8.2FF was the equivalent of one pound, now the pound is 7.8FF. So that means that the British travelers lose  30 on every  500 transaction. This also has been reflected in holidays bookings wich is down a 7% on 1994. Also happened in Spian business too. Bookings to the end of April show their share the UK market down 2%, from 44% to 42%.

In the USA and Turkey the pound has risen. Turkey has a consequence, nearly double its market share whick is now standing at 7%. However swings in favourable courrency rates mus balance against the cost of meals and services. 1 buys 60% more Turkish lira but then the cost meals and services has doubled.
