I, INTRODUCTION
It is said that practice makes perfect, that’s why we have home works,
assignments, etc… when we study English object. This KS1 project is not an
exception in order to improve our all-sided English skills. In previous tasks we had
known to get information effectively then analyzing them, we also learned to work
in both small and big groups, how to share work equally among members, how to
gather individuals into an united one, etc...All of these will be very helpful for our
profession in the future, and this time is for other important skill: communicating
with foreign tourists and writing report from the interviews.
As the ones who are studying tourism, this project brings us a valuable
chance to approach one of the most important factors in tourism: tourists. This is
also our motivation to do the project.
After 2 weeks working together, we completed this interview report in
collaboration of 2 members. It contains our enthusiasm and our effort in collecting
and synthesizing information in order to get the best result. We two include:
(and we understood that’s a refuse), some totally ignored us,
For the foreigner who could speak a little English, we used some body
languages and simple words to explain what we wanted to ask, and they answered
quickly. At first they were surprised, but then they understood and sympathized
with us.

While taking photos with guests, we discussed about some gestures should
be used. For example, the gesture showed “Victory” in Vietnam (V) has different
meanings to some other cultures. In America, it means “Peace and Love” (we have
already learned that in Intercultural Communication). But in Europe, we have to be
very careful, because showing it in different side of the hand shows bad meaning.
Some foreigners spoke too fast and used their accent voice that we had to try
hard to understand by speaking separated words.
Sometimes, approaching the tourists might lead to misunderstanding.
Because in Vietnam, there are many beggars, street vendors, etc…approaching,
following tourists, so some interviewees quickly refused and showed their
uncomfortable expression just when they saw us (and we indeed did not a chance to
say anything).

As can be seen, this doughnut chart presents the different origin of each
interviewee: Asia, Europe, America, Australia and Africa.
Among 5 continents, Europe and America have the biggest percentage of
persons, which were outlined. These two aspects both account for 28,57% of 14
interviewees.
The proportion of Australian is slightly smaller than those first top. 3 in 14
foreigners, comes in at 21,42% people came from the land of kangaroo.
28,57% originated in Asia, and African makes up only 7,15% of the data.
This chart shows the fact that the target markets of Vietnam tourism are:
Europe (especially France), America (especially USA), Australia. China, Korea,
Japan are 3 toppers of Asia marker for Vietnam. In conclusion, wherever the tourist
comes from, all the professional of tourism field should behave the same and try
best to take advantages in this competitive field.
