Question

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer from the options given
1.In 2019, there were 1.4 billion international tourist arrivals globally –this figure alone suggests
that a lot of us are travelling. The World Tourism Organization reports two major motivations for
this – “travel to change”: the quest for local experiences, authenticity, transformation and “travel
to show”: the desire for Instagramable moments and destinations.
2.Both trends are fuelled by curiosity about the unknown, the unfamiliar. Humans have always
looked for new experiences, ways to live, things to show to others. Travel magazines are strewn
with articles about visiting “overlooked” and “unknown” places – and this curiosity has a long
history.
3.Throughout his Antarctic explorations, Apsley Cherry-Garrard yearns for “unknown” places.
Mary Kingsley describes the “sheer good pleasure” of canoeing down an “unknown” West African
river by moonlight, and delights in places “not down” on maps. A character in Joseph Conrad’s
Heart of Darkness describes how “inviting” the “blank spaces on
the earth” seem and tells us about his hankering for the unfathomable.
4 .Often people perceive big, infinite landscapes such as mountains as divine. “Great cathedrals of
the earth” – as the Victorian thinker John Ruskin wrote of the Alps – “altars of snow”. Once
mountains had become cathedrals, everybody wanted to visit them.Similarly, the philosophy of
wilderness set out in American philosopher Henry Thoreau’s Walden started a craze for solitary
wilderness travel.
5.What counts as unknown depends on your starting point. For British sailor James Cook, Alaska
and Australia were “new” lands – but their indigenous inhabitants knew them well. Roman Syria
would have been unfamiliar to Chinese explorer Gan Ying, but not to the Syrians. Sometimes
journeys explore places unknown to all human beings: the depths of Son Doong caves, the undersnow mountains of Antarctica, the Moon and Mars. Travel is at its most fascinating: when it look
to the borders of what humans do not know.
