Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
King Salman's French holiday: A throne, motorcades and a lift to the beach
A king is always surrounded by his servants, aides, friends and relatives, isn’t he? You many think that such a busy person may want to escape from his daily chores and businesses. But that doesn’t seem to be the case for this one of the richest royal families in the world, King Salman of Saudi Arabia.
For his three-week summer vacation in his villa in French Riviera, he is bringing 1,000 family members, relatives and friends to the popular resort many of who stay in the hotels nearby.
There are pros and cons for this extravaganza.
Good for economy, especially to the hotels, restaurants and drivers in the area. Also, some real estate agents may benefit from those visitors because some of them are serious property buyers.
Bad for local residents and ordinary vacationers. They are not allowed to enjoy some of the most popular beach spots for security reasons.
Enjoy reading and learning what a royal vacation is like.
