Noting this convergence of tourism-friendly developments and preparing itself for the World Cup soccer tournament, the Korea National Tourism Organization launched its "Visit Korea" marketing program. Peterkofsky adds that judging from recently tallied visitor totals the year was not too shabby for Korea's tourism industry."

Abstract
This paper examines the Castle Hill Show from an event management perspective focusing on issues such as conduct, waste and risk management, site communication, queue management and emergency strategies.
From the Paper
"The most common occurrence of a risk exposure at an event is that of an attendee tripping, slipping or falling over. (Johnson, D., 1997, p205) Therefore it was surprising to discover that the ground surrounding the general attendee parking area at this event was uneven and unsurfaced. . In order to then gain access to the main areas of the showground it was also necessary to climb rocky embankments especially dangerous in wet weather. It would appear that this event failed to identify the potential risks these rocky areas represented to both attendees and their vehicles. (Newell, M., & Grashina, M., 2004, p177)"

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, in 1972, the government of Indonesia created the master plan for the development of tourism to make Bali the "showcase" of Indonesia and to serve as the model of future tourism development for the rest of the country. The author points out that the tourism industry including transportation, hotel, hospitality and traveling services is the biggest industry in Bali, which provides quality employment opportunities for the Balinese, and is still one of the fastest growing sectors in the island. The paper relates that the environmental problems created by the industry are due to the failure to control the growth of tourism facilities such as golf courses and hotels because economic expansion tends to overtake planning.
From the Paper
"According to Hitchcock (2001), tourist brochures make much of this religious affiliation of the Balinese, often describing it as the "land of a thousand temples". Bali is internationally known for its dances, temples, and beaches, which have long time been recognized as main tourist attractions. In 1996, Bali attracted a total number of 3 million tourists, or about 30% of the total number of foreign tourists coming to Indonesia. The trend shows an escalating number over several years. The increase is supported by the infrastructures and facilities: more than 25,000 hotel rooms of various qualities, international airport, which can accommodate large airplanes, ports, and more than 500 thousands Balinese involved in tourism activities."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper attempts to throw some light on the issue of skills shortage and labour shrinkage, which is identified as a global issue. The study is limited to the U.K. hospitality industry due to the wide scope of the subject discussed. The actions taken by the government, commercial organisations, educational institutes and trade associations to tackle this problem are critically analysed and recommendations are made for corrective action to improve the approach towards solving this issue.
From the Paper
"The negative image of the hospitality industry in turn leads to failure in attracting more young and skilled students and labour towards it. Also, many service employees have a negative perception of their jobs, who feel their job is humiliating, insulting and demeaning as they cater to the needs and sometimes eccentric wants of customers (Ghiselli, La Lopa, & Bai, 2001). Although hospitality acts as the largest provider of the non-standard employment (ILO 2001), according to Brien (2004) a job in this sector is often considered as 'a job till they get a real job'."

From the Paper
"All of the sites have similar formats; all have menus though tabs, searches on the first page and the use of safe colors. The most differentiated is that of Orbitz, however, when looking at these sites it may be argued that with the presentation, apart from very few specific requirements, the companies may be acceptable substitutes for each other and as such the emphasis may be the choice they offer.

Orbitz is a leading online travel company offering leisure and business travelers a wide selection of low airfares, as well as deals on lodging, car rentals, cruises, vacation packages and other travel."

The McGlobalization of an American Pop Culture Phenomenon, 2005.
Examines the rise of the "McDonald's" and its global success.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper presents a factual history and critical review of the rise of the "fast food" restaurant mogul, "McDonald's", and it's national and international appeal (or disdain). This essay allows the reader to critically think about the chain's business success, and the dramatic effects this restaurant chain is having on national and international historical and cultural communities and values.
From the Paper
"McDonald's is now reaching a compromise to its Golden Arch symbol and status to become more "homogenizing" in blending in with the unfamiliar cultures counter to the American Pop Culture scene. McDonald's offers more foods that appeal to the culinary palette of the community it wants to establish itself in, and offers a more pleasing surrounding that upholds the cultural heritage of a town, a community, or a village it seeks to thrive in."

The Geography of Japan, 2004.
Examines Japan's geography and aspects of tourism.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Japan is an island-chain nation located in Eastern Asia, between the North Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Japan, east of the Korean Peninsula. The climate is varied from tropical in the south to cool temperate in the north and resembles that of Eastern North America. This paper discusses the physical and cultural geography of this nation through four of the nine regions (or districts) that Japan is divided into: Hokkaido, Tohoku, Kanto, Chubu, Kinki, Chugoku, Shikoku, Kyushu, and Okinawa. The paper also discusses the supply and demand factors (such as major attractions, transportation, infrastructure), and other attributes to the tourism world (issues and impacts, such as natural disasters).
From the Paper
"These attractions are obviously not targeted to mass tourist activity. I would call them a combination of nature-based tourism, alternative and special interest tourism attractions, except for the Winter Olympics of course. The Olympics definitely had a positive impact on the region's market share - providing special interest activities to a mass of tourists will increase profit and open up new possibilities for the deferred demand without negatively impacting the region's character in the long run."

The History of Coney Island, 2003.

Abstract
This paper discusses the importance of the Coney Island area historically and as a symbol of New York City. The first section deals with the rich history of Coney Island, beginning as a hotel resort for New Yorkers to visit during vacations. Coney Island landmarks, such as the Coney Island Elephant Hotel and The Iron Tower are discussed with their individual history given. The competition among New York businessmen to develop the area is also investigated, showing how rivals would fight each other viciously over the prime real estate. The paper then talks about the amusement park era and how Coney Island began to transform itself into a nationally recognized location. A section of the paper is also dedicated to the famous Coney Island Freak Show. Finally, the historical section of the paper ends with the lag in business that hit the area after World War II and how Coney Island exists in modernity as a throwback to past generations. The second section of the paper deals with how Coney Island has become a center of cultural pride for New Yorkers.
From the Paper
"Coney Island represented a shift from the old Victorian mentality that many New Yorkers felt during most of the 1800s and into a new outlook of association that contained all citizens of New York City, not just the rich. The privilege of enjoyment was no longer reserved for those with money, but the low prices and massive amount of commercialism that Coney Island would become famous for would aid in the evolution of the city into becoming the representation of all that is America. In light of this optimism, Coney Island also had a darker side. Despite the cultural diversity and economic success the amusement center produced, the achievements concealed the exploitation of certain groups and the corruption that went along with the construction of such a major center of entertainment."
