 TRAVEL: ACCOMMODATION

Part A: Reading Comprehension


Read the following paragraph and answer the questions below.

 

The hospitality industry offers a range of accommodation options for travelers, from budget hotels to luxury resorts. Budget hotels are the most affordable option and typically offer basic amenities such as a bed, private bathroom, and air conditioning. They are ideal for travelers on a tight budget. Boutique hotels, on the other hand, are smaller establishments that offer a unique and stylish atmosphere with personalized services, such as free breakfast, Wi-Fi, and airport transfer. Luxury hotels are high-end establishments that offer premium amenities and services, such as swimming pools, spas, fitness centers, gourmet restaurants, and room service. Hostels are another option for travelers on a tight budget, offering dormitory-style rooms with shared bathrooms and common areas. Bed and breakfasts are small, family-run establishments that offer cozy and comfortable rooms, along with a homemade breakfast in the morning. Finally, vacation rentals and serviced apartments offer more space and privacy than hotels and are ideal for families and groups of friends.
