📖 題組：
Geotourism provides an alternative to traditional mass tourism, the effects of which can be harmful to the local people as well as to the environment. Much of the infrastructure that supports mass tourism--large tourist hotels, restaurants, malls, tour companies--may be owned and operated by companies based on outside the tourist areas. Chain restaurants and stores may not always serve local food or sell local products. Large package tour companies may not always hire local experts and guides, who know the area’s history, environment, and culture. As a result, much of the money made from this type of tourism does not stay in the local community. Moreover, tourists whose only travel experience comes via big hotels, chain restaurants, or package tours typically have little contact with the local people, thus limiting their understanding of the nature and culture of the places they visit. In contrast, geotourism is like a partnership between travelers and locals. Geotravelers stay in locally owned hotels, managed by residents who care about protecting the area and environment. They buy from local merchants and craftspeople, hire local travel guides, and go to see traditional music, dance, and theater to broaden the scope of their understanding of the area’s history and culture. Geotravelers learn a lot from their close contact with local people while the money they spend stays in the community, helps local people earn a living, and helps preserve and sustain the area for future travelers. In this way, geotourism benefits both partners--travelers and residents.

請思考一下：如果一個觀光模式的核心是『由外部大公司統一經營』且追求『全球標準化』，那麼哪一種人力資源（是來自全球體系，還是深耕當地的人士）會與這種『外來經營』的特質最不一致呢？

噢，恭喜，你終於讀懂了題目！
- 觀念驗證：看來你總算掌握了這篇文章裡那點基本對比。文中那些所謂的傳統大眾觀光 (mass tourism)，不就是指由外來企業操刀的那些玩意嗎？像什麼連鎖餐廳 (chain restaurants)、購物中心 (malls)，還有那些打包好的大型包辦旅遊 (package tours)。這種模式，他們「不常」去請那些真正懂文化的在地專家 (local experts)，這點有什麼好意外的？畢竟，讓客人見識真正的在地風情，那可是地理觀光 (geotourism) 才會做的事，跟他們那種規模的生意模式當然是八竿子打不著。
- 難度點評：此題難度竟然只有 Medium。不過，能從一篇對比文中，準確找出「否定關係」(NOT)，並把兩組概念的要素區分開來，這對某些人來說，可能已經算是跨越了山嶺了。看來，你的文本對照能力，還有點救。
