顧客: Perfect. I know where that is. What should I bring with me for the tour?
旅行代理店: I recommend bringing a hat帽子 and sunscreen日焼け止め as it can get quite hot in the national park. Comfortable shoes履き心地の良い靴 are essential as there will be some walking. Oh, and don't forget your camera – there are some amazing photo opportunities.
