Entering the English language in the late nineteenth century, the
word safari meant a trip to Africa for a big-game
hunt. Today the term refers to a trip taken not to hunt, but to observe and
photograph the animals and other wildlife. This activity had become so
popular that it has originated a certain style of fashion. It includes khaki
clothing, belted bush jackets, helmets and animal skin prints, like leopard's
skin, for example.

The purpose of ecological tourism is to educate the traveler, provide
funds for conservation and promote respect for different cultures and human
rights. The participants of ecotourism want the environment to stay
relatively untouched by human intervention, so that coming generations can
experience it fully. That is why ecotourism appeals to ecologically and
socially conscious individuals, who don’t mind volunteering.

People who like seeing dangerous places, such as mountains, jungles and
deserts, participating in dangerous events, and experiencing extreme sport
definitely appreciate extreme tourism or shock tourism. This type of tourism
is based on two key factors. The first one is an addiction to adrenaline

Space tourism used to mean ordinary members of the public buying tickets
to travel to space and back. That is why many people find this idea
revolutionary. But over the past few years a growing volume of work has been
done on the subject, and it's clear that commercial space tourism is a
realistic target for business today. Market research has shown that many
people in the developed countries would like to take a trip to space if it
were possible.

To go to Tunisia to explore the place where the film Star
Wars was made or to New Zealand after The Lord of the Rings is
very easy for those who practice pop-culture tourism and like to travel to
locations featured in literature, films, music, or any other form of popular
entertainment. But pop-culture tourism is not only about going to popular
destinations. In some respects it is very similar to a pilgrimage, only the
places are new, for example Elvis Presley's Graceland.

Family Fortune
In 1840, times
were hard for Bentley Harcourt. He had a farm in Yorkshire, but it didn’t
make money. He wanted to marry but decided to wait until better times came
along. Better times did not come along. One day, he saw a newspaper article
about the American West. It sounded like the land of milk and
honey. He thought about it. He had no family. Nobody cared if he lived
or died. Why not make a new life in the New World? He sold his farm and
immigrated to America. After a year of drifting he found himself
in Texas. He loved it. He loved the fact that you could travel for days
and not meet another soul. He used his savings to buy some land. That year he
died.
In 1910, an oil
company moved on to his land and found oil. They took millions of barrels of
oil out of the ground, all the profits due to the owner of the land were paid
into a bank account in Houston, where they waited for a relative to claim them.
The money sat in the bank for years. By 1975, the amount stood at two billion
dollars.
In 1975,
inBradford, England, a man called David Kingsley took up a new hobby –tracing his family tree. He studied church records,
visited museums, checked every reference to families called Kingsley. He also
checked on his mother’s family. They were called Harcourt. He discovered one day
that his mother’s great-great uncle, a man with the splendid name of Bentley
Harcourt, had sailed from Liverpool to America.
In the same year,
shortly after learning about his great-great uncle, Kingsley read a magazine
article about a fortune that lay unclaimed in a Texas bank. This article told
the story of a lonely immigrant called Bentley Harcourt, and about how he had
died shortly after buying his dream ranch in Texas. The magazine promised
to pay the legal expenses of anyone who could claim to be a descendant and who
might be entitled to the fortune. Kingsley read the story with mounting
excitement. Surely, this must be the same Bentley Harcourt that he had come
across during his research into his family tree! He talked the matter over with
his wife and then wrote to the magazine.
As it turned out,
Kingsley was not the only one who claimed to be a descendant. By the end of
1977, over 60 people were claiming they were entitled to the fortune. The
arguments, the quarrels, and the court cases went on, and on, and on. In the
end, Kingsley did not get the money, but, funnily enough, he didn’t mind. He
had found something much more important. He had a great-great uncle named
Bentley Harcourt, there was no doubt about that. But, amazingly, it was a
different Bentley Harcourt. It seemed impossible that there could be two people
with such an unusual name, but it was true. This Bentley Harcourt had settled
in Orange Country, California, and had made his fortune in fish canning.
He married a hardworking Swedish girl, and they had thirteen children. David
Kingsley had found a different treasure: a branch of his family across
the Atlantic. The two families wrote to each other. Later, they visited
each other. They became the best of friends.
And the fortune of
the other Bentley Harcourt? It is still unclaimed. As I write this, the sum
stands at 2.3 billion dollars. This may be a good moment to start tracing your
family tree!
