Model Answer:
Greece is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world and a large 
number of global people visit the country for enjoyment. In last summer, I 
went in Lindos in Greece for some business purposes and enjoyed my stay 
there. 
I am a businessman based in Malaysia and I deal with clothing. I have two 
stores in a local shopping mall in the capital and also own a factory. Now I am 
planning to expand my business internationally. To expand my business, I am 
travelling to different parts of the European continent and seeking suitable 
options for my business. As part of the business expansion, I went into Lindos 
as this is a tourist spot in Greece and constantly visited by global visitors. 
Besides, the location has some historical importance as well. A notable number 
of excavations had taken place here and some relics of historical importance 
have been found after the excavations. Considering all the issues, I picked the 
location as a potential place for my garment business expansion and also 
planned to open a branch at the local shopping centre. 
I went there in May of 2016. In fact, I could not manage time before the 
beginning of summer. I could have started my business tour earlier, but I was 
unable. The rush in the business was the key cause for the delay. I have several 
employees at my retail selling points and they look after the retail business 
smoothly. All of them are well mannered and reliable. But I have to take care 
for the production of the attires. I have to deal with the fabric dealers, care for 
the factory employees, train them how to make the finishing to look perfect, 
check the quality of the clothing, contact with the other dealers who sell my 
products into other parts of the country, liaison with the Asian clients who 
import my clothing in their countries and much more. I have to handle 
everything all by myself. Besides, my wife is unable to control all the things and 
I, in fact, cannot rely on her that she could be able to run the things smoothly 
like me. So, I was late for the business trip. 
The trip was accompanied by my wife, Xin Hi. She is a business graduate and 
we have been married for around one year. But unfortunately, I could not 
manage time for our honeymoon and she was somewhat upset for that. So, I

also planned to take her with me. In fact, I wanted to perform both the tasks 
through the trip. Firstly, I wanted to make a business trip and by the same 
time, I planned to spend time with my adorable wife at the tourist spots of the 
country. The plan worked well. Since Lindos was a tourist spot in Greece, my 
wife became happy as she had the chances to visit the spots. On the other 
side, I also performed all the necessary meetings with some of the potential 
dealers and visited the proposed branch sites. I took my wife with all the 
meetings and trips so that she does not feel bored alone. Since the entire 
location was charming, the meetings were held in a congenial environment 
and there had no chances of boredom for us. 
As a tourist, I enjoyed the trips amid of the scenic and historic locations of 
Lindos. I went to the beach and enjoyed swimming with my wife. Moreover, 
the party, which was organised by the trip organisers, was outstanding. When 
the meetings were done with the clients, both of us went to the beautiful 
beach. The night views are breathtaking. Besides, the sunrise and the sunset 
scenes were outstanding to me. In fact, I waited eagerly to watch the sunrise 
from the beach. The barbeque party on the beach was another attraction for 
us. The party ended with a cultural function. Though it was a business trip for 
me, the overall events that took place during the trips were terrific for us. My 
wife became highly satisfied with the trip and everything is set for me to open 
a clothing branch in Lindos. If everything goes well, I will open the branch there 
by next month.
