"Heritage tourism or cultural tourism is a branch of tourism offering the cultural dimension of the location where tourism occurs as the main value. Historical sites are usually the main attraction in this case. The main coordinates of heritage tourism include culture, historic information, interaction with the local people and eventually, a perceived sense of adventure. Heritage tourism allows people to get in touch with the past. At the same time, it is important to mention that it contributes to the preservation of the cultural heritage itself."
"The products that heritage tourism offers can be customer oriented. From this point of view, one could speak about creative tourism. Creative tourism is based on the principle of interactivity."

Conclusion

From the Paper
"Visitor Attractions rely on the UK 'Travel and Tourism Market' which accounted for nearly 227 million trips taken in 2006. This was a significant decrease of 3.5% from the previous year. Of those trips, 126.3 million, (55.6%) were made in the 'domestic market', which equated to a significant 8.9% decrease in trips compared to 2005. The 'inbound market' showed an increase of 7.2%, up to 32.1 million trips, and outbound trips showed an increase of 3.2% to 68.5 million. The number of trips undertaken can directly affect visitor numbers to the attractions sector."

Abstract
This paper presents a summary of the special sites and activities located in or near the city of London, Kentucky. The paper includes descriptions and directions to museums, national parks, historical and recreational sites, and the airport. The paper also describes the airport's services, types and number of airplanes flying in and out, the runways, and economic considerations and factors affecting the future of the airport.

From the Paper
"The city of London in Kentucky is surrounded by a lot of attractive items for tourists and the first of them is the Levi Jackson Wilderness Road State Park. This is on US 25, London, Kentucky 40744. The site has both historical and recreational importance and is two miles south of the town on US 25. The total area covered by the park is 896 acres and this is the place from where the first mass migration took place from the Colonies to the Western Territories by the Americans. The next important site is the Cumberland Falls State Resort Park, and this is situated at Corbin which is a little distance away. This can be visited 24 hours in a day and facilities are available for parking all types of vehicles including motor coaches and dumping of waste. The falls are very interesting and this is often called the "Niagara of the South". This is a very popular tour destination with the beautiful falls and a "moon bow". This is the only river in the Western hemisphere which shows a moon bow, and the falls are 125 feet wide and drop 68 feet into the Cumberland River."

Abstract
The geographic location chosen to be the central focus of this essay is located in Vancouver's West End, about a ten minute walk west of downtown. The writer describes that the city block is bordered by the four streets of Haro, Barclay, Broughton and Nicola and that the most famous landmark in the park is the Roedde House Museum. The writer notes that originally, all of the houses except for this one were intended for demolition. Further, the writer mentions that only through the efforts of many diligent historic preservationists was this area saved and restored to its historic form.

From the Paper
"The city of Vancouver is located in a popular region of North America that is known for breathtaking scenery, cultural diversity and historic residential areas. Vancouver proudly boasts several such neighborhoods, which have been the most densely populated on the continent for the better part of the 20th century and beyond. One of the most famous and distinctive of these is Barclay Heritage Square, a virtual jewel of historic Victorian gardens, benches, even a gazebo, that encompasses a single city block. It is all nestled modestly among the mostly residential streets of the neighborhood just west of the downtown core, most commonly known as the West End."

Abstract
The paper introduces, discusses, and analyzes the short stories "Girl," by Jamaica Kincaid, and "Everyday Use" by Alice Walker. The paper compares the two works and their similarities. In "Girl," the protagonist lectures in a supremely long sentence that rambles and preaches at the same time. In "Everyday Use," the protagonist narrates the story, but both swirl around young women and their mothers, teaching how to care for themselves and others, as they grow older and mature. They also clearly illustrate the heritage of African-American women throughout history in America. The paper notes that each of these stories graphically illustrates the heritage of African-American mothers and their daughters throughout history, and how that heritage has altered, and yet remained the same.

From the Paper
"Disappointment is a key thread in Walker's story, as well. This is a far different situation, at least on the surface. The mother is waiting for the "wayward" daughter, educated and more than a little self-important to return for a visit to her roots. She has left the poverty and old-fashioned ways behind, and prides herself on her education and enlightenment, but in reality, she is a snob, and looks down on her own mother and sister. This mother recognizes her daughter's faults, and begins to really appreciate her "challenged" daughter who is so different from her haughty sister. The mother and Maggie, the challenged daughter, are not so snobby that they do not appreciate their heritage."

Abstract
The paper relates that throughout Alice Walker's books and stories, she continually displays her pride and support of her African-American and female heritage. The paper examines Walker's "Everyday Use" that looks at the issue of African-Americans who try to escape prejudice and poverty and, in the process, risk losing their own heritage and the past that has made them into who they are.

From the Paper
"Walker was born and raised in Eatonton, Georgia. Her father was a sharecropper. When she was eight years old, her brother accidentally shot her eye out with a BB gun. She was left blind in one eye, that made her shy and self-conscious. She turned to writing as a means to express her inner self. Despite her disadvantaged childhood, she won a scholarship to Spelman College and then transferred to Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, New York. Since then, her poems, short stories and novels combine a pride for black women and the African-American heritage."

Abstract
This paper examines wine tourism in the region with specific emphasis on key attractions and relevant tourist experiences. With this in mind, the discussion begins with a brief overview of the Barossa wine region. In addition, details are provided about the Barossa Wine and Visitor Center in Tanunda, the Wine Heritage Museum, the Winery and Tourist Centre, and Penfold's Make Your Own Blend.

From the Paper
"In recent years, more and more people have begun to recognize the special relationship between wine and tourism. Or, as one expert shares about the tourism industry "wine is an important component of the attractiveness of a destination and can be a major motivating factor for visitors" (Hall 2000, p.1). When it comes to attractive destinations, one of the most exciting places to visit is the Barossa wine region in South Australia. It follows that the current study examines wine tourism in the region with specific emphasis on key attractions and relevant tourist experiences."

Abstract
This paper explains that, before the Europeans arrived in New Zealand, the Maoris had their own rules and laws; however, once the Europeans came a legal system, based on the English legal system, was put in order to ensure that the country ran properly. Next, the author presents an overview of the establishment and evolution of the New Zealand legal system as of today. The paper concludes that the New Zealand legal system is moving away from the traditional English system of law to its own unique, system that abolishes the Privy Council and replaces it with a Supreme Court. This paper is attractively formatted with many colored pictures and maps.

Introduction
The Importance of the Treaty of Waitangi - Its Influence on New Zealand's Legal System
Moving Away From the English Basis of Law

From the Paper
"From the first European settlers, to the Treaty of Waitangi, to present day; New Zealand has had a legal system which has been ever changing for many years now. However, now it is time to look to the future, and see what is in store for New Zealand, where its legal system is heading, and how documents like the Treaty of Waitangi will have relevance for us in years to come.
"The Treaty of Waitangi is New Zealand's most important document, and this will probably never change. Today, it can be described as a living document, whose basic principles can be applied to any age. In the beginning, the Treaty's main focus was to allow the people of New Zealand, both Maori and Pakeha, to live peacefully with each other. However, due to simple translation problems, arguments occurred, and both parties lost sight of what it was that they originally set out to achieve. Because of this, the last hundred years have been rife with controversy over settlements for Maori, as they have wanted compensation form the Crown for the promises they do not believe were met.
"The establishment of the Waitangi Tribunal in 1975, is perhaps the first step in resolving disputes between the Crown and Maori, and this has had a direct influence to New Zealand's legal system, as decisions made by the Tribunal have often gone on to effect legislation being changed in Parliament."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that between 1914 and 1929, approximately one million African-American individuals moved from the rural south to the more industrial north in a mass exodus known as the Great Migration. The writer discusses that this movement was caused by a number of economic, environmental and social forces that together made life in the northern states far more attractive to the African-American population. The writer discusses those forces and looks at how they interacted to help create one of the largest migrations in U.S. history. The writer then looks at the black power movement that rose from the freedom movement of the 1960s.

From the Paper
"The simultaneous convergence of these leaders, groups, and movements, is easy to understand when one considers the environment of the Harlem area during the early 1900s. With vast numbers of new African American citizens having come from the racist south, the area was ripe with social, political, and cultural concepts that come with new found freedom. In such a charged atmosphere, leaders such as Garvey had an audience ready to listen, and motivated for change. As their empowerment became reality, the view of those individuals altered, and with assistance from groups such as the UNIA, their ideas became reality, creating a new social order and an entirely new cultural center."
