Объединение клипов. Можно объединить два или несколько смежных

видеоклипов. Термин "смежные" означает, что клипы были сняты вместе
и окончание одного клипа является началом следующего. Объединение
клипов удобно в том случае, если имеется несколько коротких клипов и
их требуется просмотреть как один клип на раскадровке или шкале
времени. Как и разделение клипа, объединение смежных клипов можно
выполнить на панели содержимого или на раскадровке или шкале
времени.
[22:32:43] alla vostrikova: Монтаж клипа. Можно скрыть части клипа,
которые не требуется отображать. Например, можно обрезать начало или
конец клипа. При выполнении обрезки данные не удаляются из
материалов источника. В любое время можно удалить точки монтажа,
чтобы вернуть клип к исходной длине. Клипы можно монтировать только
после их добавления на раскадровку или шкалу времени. Нельзя
выполнять обрезку клипов на панели содержимого.
Перетащите маркеры монтажа, которые показаны на следующем рисунке,
чтобы обрезать ненужные части клипа.

Is the place suited to more than one kind of

tourism/holiday? (Could you go there for a holiday in
winter and summer, if so how would the holidays be

What are the good effects of tourism? (e.g. it creates
jobs)

Principal characteristics of business tourism include the following:

it is at the high quality, high yield end of the tourism spectrum
business tourism is year-round, peaking in Spring and Autumn but still with high levels of
activity in the Summer and Winter months, thus sustaining permanent, full-time
employment. It is estimated that the sector nationally employs around 530,000 people both
directly and indirectly
it complements the leisure tourism sector, relying on much of the same physical
infrastructure, and bringing business to destinations such as seaside resorts which would
otherwise be dependent upon a relatively short Summer season for their economic health
and prosperity
investments in business tourism facilities lead to the regeneration of urban and inner city
areas, as evidenced by cities such as Birmingham, Belfast, Cardiff, Glasgow and Manchester
many of the investments in a destination’s infrastructure designed primarily for the business
tourist (hotels, transport and communications facilities, restaurants, attractions and
amenities, even conference auditoria) provide benefits which can also be enjoyed by the
leisure tourist and the indigenous population
it is resilient, being much less affected by economic downturns or by disasters such as the
Foot and Mouth Epidemic than leisure tourism and other sectors of the national economy
business tourism stimulates future inward investment as business people see the attractions
of a destination while travelling on business or to attend a conference, exhibition or
incentive, and then return to establish business operations there. They can also become
unpaid ‘ambassadors’ for a destination by communicating to colleagues and others their
positive impressions and favourable experiences
the higher quality of personal service demanded by the business tourist requires more
labour-intensive service suppliers, which in turn translates into higher levels of job creation.
For example, 68% of all tourism jobs in Harrogate are created and sustained by business
tourism (principally conferences and exhibitions), only 32% by leisure tourism. Around
22,000 jobs in the West Midlands are sustained by the NEC Group of venues (National
Exhibition Centre, International Convention Centre, Symphony Hall, and the National
Indoor Arena). The Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre (Glasgow) directly
supported over 3,300 jobs in Glasgow and in other regions of Scotland in 2001
research (Conference Delegate Expenditure Survey 1998) suggests that approximately 40%
of business travellers will return with their families as leisure visitors to destinations they
have enjoyed visiting on business
business tourism is sustainable, offering higher added value with fewer negative
environmental impacts than mass leisure tourism. Furthermore, conference and incentive
visitors are together as a group, so that it is possible to inform and educate them about the
local community in which their event is being held in order to maximise the enjoyment of
their stay but also to minimise any disruption and possible inconvenience to the local
resident population. It is very much harder to manage, in the same way, the impact of
individual leisure travellers on a destination.
The individual segments of business tourism (conferences and meetings, exhibitions and trade
fairs, incentive travel, corporate events, outdoor events) are the five segments which are the
prime focus of marketing activities by venues and destinations, because decisions about where
the events take place are open to influence. The organisers of the event may have greater
flexibility in deciding where it is held, and are able to use their own judgement or discretion.
For this reason, these five segments are often described as ‘discretionary’. Individual business
travel, on the other hand, is termed ‘non-discretionary’ because, while the mode of transport
(road, rail or air, for example) used by the individual traveller is open to influence, their actual
travel destination is not.

On a national and state level, Business Tourism is seen as an important niche market, and is one of the fastest growing
high yield sectors of the tourism industry. This segment of the tourism industry has also been referred to as Meetings,
Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions (MICE).

Business Tourism encompasses a range of business-related tourism as well as business events

Travel and tourism – History

Business travel and tourism is certainly not a new phenomenon. People have been travelling because of their work for many centuries. However,

some forms of business tourism, such as incentive travel, are modern inventions.

Business travel and tourism originated with trade between communities. Once agriculture developed beyond the subsistence level in areas of
Africa, Asia and Europe, thousands of years before Christ was born, communities began to trade agricultural products. This led to the growth of

markets, and producers travelled sometimes hundreds of kilometres to take their produce to market. Then urban settlements began to grow and

develop. These were home to artisans producing a range of products including clothes, tools and decorative arts. These were traded with the

surrounding countryside for foodstuffs. However, they were also marketed further afield, particularly if they were of high quality or were made

of materials not available in other countries. Archaeological evidence shows us that this trading often took goods thousands of kilometres from

where they were made. The earliest business travellers were, therefore, artisans and small-scale traders.

In the Middle Ages, perhaps the greatest business travel route of all time, the Silk Route, reached its peak. Although named after one commodity,

this route was a conduit for the transportation of a wide variety of goods from Asia to Europe and vice versa. And while the term Silk Route

implies a single route, the fact is that there were a number of routes, starting and ending in different places.

As the twentieth century dawned, the next major development in business travel and tourism was taking place in the USA. Meetings have gone

on since time immemorial, but the concept of the conference or convention was developed, at this time, in the USA. Trade and scientific

associations, together with the political parties, began to organize large-scale gatherings in the late nineteenth century. This activity gathered

pace in the early decades of the twentieth century. Cities soon realized that hosting such events brought great economic benefits and convention

bureaux began to appear to market cities as convention destinations. As Rogers (1998) notes, the first was established in Detroit in 1896,

3
followed soon after by Cleveland (1904), Atlantic City (1908), Denver and St Louis (1909) and Louisville and Los Angeles (1910). The

phenomenon of the convention bureau is now well established around the world. The development of the private car in the first half of the

twentieth century further stimulated the growth  f domestic business travel, primarily in Europe and North America.

Over the ages, the geography of business travel and tourism has changed in a variety of ways. Having started in Asia, Africa and the Middle East

in ancient times, the focus of development between 1000 BC and AD 1900 was generally Europe. Then the USA increasingly began to make its

impact felt, but in the late twentieth century the ‘tiger economies’ of South East Asia and the oil-rich states of the Middle East dominated

developments in terms of both demand and supply. In spite of the economic problems in Asia in the late 1990s, Japanese and Taiwanese business

travellers are now a major element in the global market, and Asian cities and hotel chains are widely regarded as the leaders in terms of quality

and service. Will the future reinforce this trend, will Europe and the USA regain their previous dominance or will the future belong to the newly

developed countries of South America or Africa?

The future of business travel and tourism

While we are debating which part of the world will lead the way in developing business travel and tourism in the future, some commentators are

suggesting the future for business travel and tourism may be much less buoyant than in the recent past. They argue that after several decades of

rapid growth business travel will be badly affected by the threat of substitution, that is, the replacement of business travel by the use of new

information and communication technologies, such as video- and computerconferencing as well as virtual reality. These, it is suggested, will

reduce the overall demand for general business travel. Others dispute this, suggesting that the social and personal contact dimension of business

travel will reduce this impact. Only time will tell who is right.

Conclusion

We have seen that business travel and tourism is a very old phenomenon but that it has grown, probably, more in the last fifty years than in all

the previous centuries put together. It has also been seen that it is now a truly global industry, and that new special forms of business tourism

have developed in the last few decades of the twentieth century. However, at the end of the chapter, we have noted that there are some doubts

over the future of business travel and tourism.
