The main text

The United States transformed from the British colony into a developed superpower, country leading the world in all areas of economic, political and cultural aspects of life just in two centuries. The United States did not become the largest country in the world but it is still the fourth by the territory. Its length from the north to the south and from the west to the east provides an extraordinary diversity in climatic conditions and natural resources. The Midwest and the southeastern subtropical forests, the Rocky Mountains, the Great Lakes, New York and California resorts from Alaska to Florida have become the favorite tourist destination [1]. Alaska is located at some distance from the country, dividing its border with Canada. The Hawaii is located in the Pacific Ocean and consists of the separate islands chain. Travelling to the United States is possible all year round. In this country everything is created and works for people [2]. The foreign tourists of all ages and different income choose this tourist direction. The number of tourist visiting the USA is increasing every year. You can always choose the right option for every budget holiday with unlimited possibilities for the travelers. As for the tickets, it is better to buy them in advance, because the closer the date, the more expensive are the tickets. This rule works for all the destinations.

The official language in the USA is English, but Spanish is very popular there too and the residents of California and the southern states speak Spanish [3]. Florida, California and Hawaii are the most desirable and famous beach resort destinations in the United States, located on the Gulf Coast of Mexico. Also, Puerto Rico is a part of America, but has no the status of the state, so they call it the “protected territory”. The “hot” tours are always in a great demand regardless to the season. As for the winter holidays, Lake Placid is the best place for the ski resort. It is located in the east of the country [4]. This resort was the venue of the Winter Olympic Games twice in the XX th century. Summer “hot” tours are also very popular because the tourists prefer relaxing on the beaches of the ocean coasts and a big number of tourists enjoy visiting Las Vegas. The people willing to win money are the constant visitors of the gambling capital. The trips there are available to everyone at any time of the year. Especially the tours are popular from spring to summer. The beaches at this time of year are full people (locals and visitors). It is well-established fact that the price of the product depends on where it is sold. The next point to be made is that many tourists take this fact into account before travelling to the American beaches. The best time for visiting is an early spring or autumn. The prices for the holidays at this time will be lower. "The country of great opportunity" as often America is characterized, welcomes its guests and tries to keep the service at the highest level. Every city has 3, 4 and 5 star hotels [5]. The United States is a country with a highly developed roads network. Travelling inside the country is absolutely cheap and one can visit, for example, the Grand Canyon or the Great Lakes, the Niagara Falls and New York. It has world famous skyscrapers, exhibitions, performances and competitions. This "cosmopolitan" city is truly called by the Americans the "big apple".

The USA is striking for its wildlife and the Americans really care about their country. Large productions are the result of a strong economy despite the technical progress, great attention is paid to preserve and save the ecology. It enables us to draw a conclusion that this distinguishes the country from the other countries in the world. America is a country with a high standard of living which attracts tourists. Due to the fact that the government fully supports tourism and travel industry the USA has become one of the most fascinating places to visit.
