認真做好世博旅游服務工作是黨和人民賦予旅游行業(yè)的歷史使命和光榮任務，是旅游行業(yè)義不容辭的責任。//

同時，也要充分認識到，上海世博會的成功舉辦，對我國旅游業(yè)的發(fā)展是一次十分難得的重要機遇，是中國旅游業(yè)展示良好形象、擴大國際影響的重要時機。//

【答案】

The World Expo and tourism have always interacted, promoted and complemented each other. Tourism is an important field and part of the World Expo.//

It is a historical mission and glorious task that the Party and the people have shouldered on us in the (provision of) World Expo tourism. Therefore, it is our duty-bound responsibility to do a good job.//

At the same time, we should be fully aware that the successful holding of the World Expo is a very rare and important opportunity for China's tourism and also an important opportunity for China's tourism to display a good image and expand international influence.//

The modern World Expo experience has shown that of the combined/comprehensive effects of the Expo, the effect of tourism is (the) most direst, obvious and lasting.
