Sample answers:

Is your country popular with tourists?

Oh yes, it is, It’s a key tourist destination, It isn’t popular with sunseekers because, well, we don’t get a lot of sun, but people who are into culture and history love it. We get millions of visitors every year.

What sights and activities would you recommend to a tourist visiting your town or region?

There are a great number of ancient sites near here, for example, burial mounds and stone circles, They’re fascinating and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone, Luckily, it’s actually better if the weather is misty or dismal when you’re visiting those sites because it just adds to the atmosphere!

Do you enjoy active holidays?

Yes, I certainly do, I hate just sitting on a beach, I love hiking, Last year I went hiking in Nepal with some friends, It was incredibly tough but really rewarding and I got very fit and trim. We want to do something similar next year if we can save enough money.

Tell me what your ideal holiday would be.

My ideal holidays are when I discover new things, so I wouldn’t say I have one ideal holiday in mind. But it’s true that I would love to go to South America, especially Peru. I believe it’s great for hikers and the landscape just looks breathtaking. I speak some Spanish too so I could communicate with the locals.
