An dàrna turas: Chan eil sinn ach a' dol air chuairt bheag

Take two: We are only going on a small trip

Let’s have a look at this conversation again.

An e taigh-òsta no AirBnB as fheàrr leat? Do you prefer a hotel or AirBnB?
‘S e taigh-òsta as fheàrr leam. Is beag orm fèin-fhrithealadh. Ach … ciamar a bhios sinn a’ faighinn ann? I prefer a hotel. I don’t like self-catering. But … how do we get there?
Nach ann air trèana a bu chòir dhuinn a dhol ann? Shouldn’t we go there by train?
Ach … tha seo uile a’ cur dragh orm. ‘S e gu bheil iomadh cheist agam mu dheidhinn seo. But … all this worries me. I have many questions about this.
Seadh. Dè na ceistean a th’ agad, ma-thà? OK/Uh-huh. What are your questions, then?
Uill, dè a’ bhuaidh a th’ aig turasachd air an àrainneachd? What is the impact of tourism on the environment?
Tha fios ’am. Ach chan eil sinn ach a’ dol air chuairt bheag. Chan eil sinn a’ dèanamh mòran. I know. But we are only going on a small trip. We’re not doing much.
‘S ann mar sin a bhios mòran dhaoine a’ smaoineachadh. Ach … a bheil turasachd ag adhbharachadh barrachd cron na feum? That’s what many people think. But … is tourism causing more harm than good?
Tha eagal orm gu bheil fhios agam air an fhreagairt mar-thà. Agus san latha a th’ ann, ciamar a ghabhas turasachd riaghailteachadh? I’m afraid I know the answer already. And in the present day, how can tourism be regulated?
Saoil an ann tro chìsean a ghabhas turasachd riaghailteachadh? Mar sin, fuirichidh na buannachdan—agus an t-airgead—san dùthaich no san sgìre fhèin. Do you think tourism can be regulated through taxes? Therefore, the benefits—and the money—will remain in the country or area/region itself.
Ach chan eil mise cinnteach gun dèan sin diofar. Agus tha ceist eile agamsa: Cò dha a tha na buannachdan a thig le turasachd? But I’m not sure that will make a difference. And I have another question: Who are the beneficiaries of tourism? (For whom are the benefits of tourism?)
Deagh cheist! Faodaidh nach bi obraichean ann ach rè an t-seusain. Agus mar sin, faodaidh nach bi teachd-a-steach aig cuid de dhaoine fad mhìosan. Good question! There may only be jobs during the season. And so, some people may not have an income for months.
Agus rud eile: faodaidh gum bi tòrr thaighean ann an dorchadas fad a’ gheamhraidh. And another thing: many houses may be in darkness all winter.
Mus cuir sinn siubhal no àite-fuirich air dòigh, ‘s ann a dh’fheumas sinn beagan rannsachaidh a dhèanamh air turasachd sheasmhach (sho-sheasmhach). Before we organise travel or accommodation, we need to do a little research on sustainable tourism.
