Travel abduction is one of the new travel concepts showcased at the Tourism Futures conference in Brisbane. Simulated kidnapping packages are now offered. People can pay to get themselves abducted without warning, bound, gagged and imprisoned for a duration of four to ten hours.
Ethan expressed his views on this new travel idea. He posted a question for readers to think why people would go for this ‘abundantly wrong’ kind of travel. He then suggested a number of alternative ‘experiential’ travel ideas. In the end, he concluded that holidays weren’t good enough if they were too ordinary. As Ethan described – ‘you can’t see great sights through a blindfold’.
Everyone likes extraordinary experiences but being kidnap just for fun? I think this is rather humiliating for the victims who actually suffered from abduction. I can’t believe people are actually paying for this game.
Ethan used a number of hypertexts in his article. Hypertext can help direct readers to another page for more detailed information regarding a specific topic. This allowed Ethan to keep his article nice and short without the need of explaining each and every term his used.
I also like the way Ethan started the article. His use of ‘LIKE you, I love new experiences’ connected the article with the readers. It also created a feeling that the writer was just the same type of person as the reader. Readers would want to read on to see how the article is related to them.
