Tourism means people travel to other places. Many tourists stay in hotels. Hotel staff work in hotels and help guests. Most hotels are safe and good places.

Harassment means bad or rude behavior. It makes people feel unsafe or uncomfortable. In hotels, harassment can happen. A staff member can be rude to a guest. A guest can also be rude to hotel staff. Sometimes someone says bad words. Sometimes someone does not respect privacy. This is harassment.

We can identify harassment when a person feels scared or unhappy. If someone is rude, or does not respect space, it can be harassment. If someone enters a room without permission, it is also harassment. People feel uncomfortable in these situations.

If harassment happens, we must stay calm. We should say “No”. We should move away from the person. We should go to a safe place like the hotel reception. We should tell the hotel manager or security. We can also call the police if it is serious.

To avoid harassment, we should be careful. Hotel staff should be polite and kind. They should respect guests. Guests should also be polite and follow hotel rules. We should respect each other.

We should also keep doors locked. We should not open the door for strangers. We should ask for help if something is wrong.

In conclusion, harassment is bad. Hotels should be safe. Respect and good behavior help everyone feel safe in tourism.

Bonus text in B1:

Tourism refers to the activity of people travelling from one place to another for leisure, business, or other personal reasons. During their journeys, many tourists choose to stay in hotels, which provide accommodation, services, and support throughout their visit. Hotel staff play an important role in ensuring guests feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. In general, most hotels are considered safe environments where people can relax and enjoy their stay.

Harassment is understood as unwanted, rude, or inappropriate behaviour that causes discomfort, fear, or distress to another person. In hotel settings, harassment can occur in different situations and may involve either staff or guests. For example, a staff member might treat a guest disrespectfully, or a guest might behave inappropriately towards a staff member. Harassment can also include offensive language, ignoring personal boundaries, or failing to respect a person’s privacy.

It is possible to identify harassment when someone feels unsafe, frightened, or uncomfortable in a situation. Behaviours such as invading personal space, using insulting language, or entering a hotel room without permission are clear examples of harassment. These actions often lead to emotional discomfort and a loss of trust in the environment.

If harassment takes place, it is important to respond in a calm and controlled manner. The person affected should clearly say “no” to stop the behaviour, then remove themselves from the situation. They should move to a safe location, such as the hotel reception, where assistance is available. Reporting the incident to hotel management or security is also important. In serious cases, contacting the police may be necessary.

Preventing harassment requires awareness and respectful behaviour from everyone involved. Hotel staff are expected to remain professional, polite, and supportive towards guests. At the same time, guests should follow hotel rules and treat staff and other visitors with respect. Mutual respect helps create a safe and welcoming environment for everyone.

In addition, personal safety measures are important. Guests should keep their room doors locked and avoid opening them to unknown individuals. If something feels wrong or unsafe, it is always better to seek help immediately from hotel staff or security personnel.

In conclusion, harassment is unacceptable in any environment, including hotels. Maintaining respect, following rules, and practising good communication are essential for ensuring safety and comfort in tourism settings.
