3 . Japanese businessman Katsuo Inoue chose Italy for his summer vacation this year. He enjoyed the views of Florence and Rome-without ever leaving Japan.

Inoue and his wife “flew” to Italy on First Airlines, a company known for entertainment （娱乐），not transportation. The Tokyo-based new company entered the fast growing online tourism early this year as many countries have stopped accepting foreign tourists.

“I often go to other countries on business, but I haven't been to Italy,” Inoue said. "My impression was really good because I got a sense of actually seeing things there. First Airlines even gave us life jackets and oxygen masks（氧气罩）！”

The “passengers” on First Airlines sit in the first — or business-class areas of an airplane model. Workers serve meals and drinks as large screens show passing clouds and other views outside the airplane. The “travelers“ then receive glasses that provide virtual reality（虚拟现实 的）tours of places like Paris, New York, Hawaii and Rome.

The country's biggest airline, ANA Holdings, said that the numbers of passengers flying to foreign countries fell by 96 percent since June when Japan has stopped most travel in and out of the country. The International Air Transport Association （lAIA ） and The International Tourism Association （ITA） said last month that international travels wouldn't be able to recover until 2024. But they said the online travels have been growing very fast.

The president, Hiroaki Abe, said, “Since we started our online tour this year, our business has been increasing by 50 percent each month. Most of our customers usually travel to other countries every year and they can now experience some of that here when they are unable to go to the real attractions.”

5 . The Boundary Waters area of northeastern Minnesota is the ancestral homeland of the Ojibwe people. With no electricity or Wi-Fi, and offering only the slimmest chance of getting a cell signal, the million- plus acres of wild land and water that parents and kids can explore there today is little changed from the 1400s, when the Ojibwe first traveled these waterways in canoes.

For kids addicted to smartphones and other electronic devices(设备), such a trip may mark the first time they've really experienced true quiet. Although adventure seekers treasure it for its scores of tracks, primitive camping sites, and more than 1,500 miles of canoe routes, it's the peace of nature and hearing their own breathing and heartbeats, maybe for the first time, that can make this place so magical and meaningful for children.

"This place changes people," says local shop owner Steve Nelson. "It's a phenomenal experience to share. The wilderness calls you. It really does." When Nelson takes families into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness(BWCAW), he tells the kids to get up early and silently, take a cup of hot chocolate, and then sit on the shore to watch the plants and animals of the Boundary Waters wake up.

"When the parents and children sit there, they are going to hear birds making long high sounds in the distance and singing nearby," he says. "They might see fish come up and catch insects sitting on the surface, and turtles resting on the rocks. They are watching, listening, hearing, and appreciating their surroundings in a way that isn't possible in a city."

"There was a family with three boys who would go out into the wilderness for 20 days at a time," Nelson says. "When I asked the dad why he took the trip year after year, he said, "Number one, it is one of the most inexpensive vacations. Number two, and more important, is who my kids are going to talk to out here? It's just my wife and me, so they have to talk to us."

9 . Collette and Scott Stohler have what looks like the dream career. They travel around the world for six months a year and are paid to post photos, videos newsletters and blogs on their website and social media channels.

But Collette says, behind the scenes "It's not as glamorous as you see. Just know that we're on the beach only for a moment to take a photo." She says the life of an "influencer" requires countless hard work and thousands are competing for the same marketing dollars.

The number of social media influencers is growing, and the industry is evolving rapidly. But only a tiny minority are able to make a living doing so. Philip Trippenbach, head of influencer at marketing firm Edelman says that while "the best" can command large fees, "Those who are merely pretty good, get nothing" Collette and Scott earn around $ 200,000 per year. But Scott says, "It doesn't just happen. You need to hurry. For every 50 pitches (推销)we'll only hear a couple of yeses."

The couple, previously an engineering manager and an ad producer, had come to the end of a seven — month, round-the-world trip. Towards the end of their journey. they realized that their social media following had been growing, and decided to turn their nomadic (游牧的)lifestyle into a business.

Now, they work together with tourist boards, hotel groups and other brands to plan trips that they record and publish on their website and social media accounts. They began by approaching potential customer and working out deals for writing, photographing and filming their holidays. Other companies simply ask their products to be featured in photos that they might take. While the customers can decide how many posts are in the deal, the couple gets final say on what they write and what photos to publish. The Stohlers say branded posts make up around 25% of their social media feed, and now, while they still pitch for work, the companies also come to them.

Collette says, "The majority of our time is spent shooting. We rarely have time to 'kick back' on work trips, but sometimes we're able to add a day at the end (on our own expense) to explore."

1. What does Collette mean by saying "It's not as glamorous as you see"?
