"CORAL DIVERS RESORT
Introduction
Scuba diving is a rapidly growing sport, and one that is beginning to involve the entire family. Coral Divers Resort had a comfortable niche in that industry, one that had been enhanced by its owner, Jonathan Greywell's promotional strategy. According to the case study, "over the years, Greywell had established a solid reputation for the Coral Divers Resort as a safe and knowledgeable scuba diving resort. It offered not only diving, but a beachfront location. As a small but well-regarded all-around dive resort in the Bahamas, many divers had come to prefer his resort to other, crowded tourists resorts in the Caribbean."
Greywell found this niche by creating short weekend and midweek diving ventures ..."

"Introduction
Winnebago Industries manufactures recreational vehicles (RVs) and is among the largest manufacturers of RVs in the United States. The company's products are associated with family vacations, the open road, and with a type of leisure activity that has largely fallen from popularity within the United States in recent years. Winnebago's founder, John Hanson, passed away in 1996 and his passing served as a symbol that the recreational vehicle industry as a whole is in a new stage and operating in a very different environment than the one which witnessed Winnebago's early success. This research examines the company and its prospects, including its market environment, management, product lines and financial position.

"Tourism: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
Yesterday's Grand Visions
Tourism, the act of paying money to go from one place to another to see different and unique sights, has been a fact of civilized life since approximately the 12th century. Of course, back in those days it was basically the upper, upper classes that had the time, the money, and the interest in travelling from one spot to another. The word "travel" by the way comes from the medieval English word "travail" which means suffering great hardship, and that is a very good description of travel in its earliest days. Much has been written about the journeys of Marco Polo, who until recently was considered the world's first tourist.
Celebrated in books, movies, musicals and television.."

From the Paper
" Anthropologists tell us that ancient man was a migrant, traveling wherever food, good water, and a more secure cave could be found. Man evolved into a trader bartering pretty pebbles with a neighboring tribe for the exchange of goods and that quest for wealth and profit led to great explorers like Marco Polo who with the help of tremendous personal wealth and sponsorship explored the globe in search of greater wealth and good ways to get it. Travel was an expensive, dangerous, personal or business decision where people made their own arrangements for transportation to take them where they wanted to go.
One way to examine the start of travel as an industry is to look at the history and beginnings of the oldest and still existent travel agency, Thomas Cook & Son. Thomas Cook, a Baptist missionary, was born in 1808. He was a member of the.."

"Legalized gambling has evolved into a mainstream leisure activity in America. States relentlessly advertise their lotteries in the print and broadcast media. Major casinos emphasize their theme park atmospheres, promoting themselves as adult equivalents of Disneyland. Many religious institutions have become dependent on legalized gaming revenues. Native American tribes continue to be major players in the industry. Although gambling is now a national pastime, economists and sociologists express alarm at the rising social costs of this pursuit.
Native American tribes have reaped enormous economic benefits from legalized gambling. Tribes operate 225 gambling establishments nationwide, which took in an estimated $15.2 billion in 1992, a figure that is expected to grow by $500.."

From the Paper
"Yield management is the balance of selling limited and perishable inventories at the right price to the right customers. This means that a single commercial airplane flight can have many different prices based on the needs of the travelers involved and when they purchased their ticket. Hotels can have guests paying different rates for essentially the same room, and even hospitals are competing in ways that not only boost their occupancy rates, but their overall yield results.
Initially begun in the hospitality industry, yield management can be incorporated into other related industries where the conditions are right. However, there is the potential for problems if managers focus exclusively on yield management instead of building into their overall strategic plan."

"In 1955, Walt Disney opened an amusement park in Anaheim, California, which changed the way that Americans, and the world, viewed such entertainment. Once the domain of carnival hucksters, amusement parks underwent a significant makeover at the hands of the head of the Disney Studios. Through shrewd marketing, including a tie-in to a national television program, Disney successfully marketed Disneyland as a unique entertainment experience and made his theme park world famous. In the mid-1960s, plans were made for a second park, this one located in Florida, which was significant larger than the Anaheim park and which opened in the early 1970s. A third theme park opened in the 1980s in Tokyo, and a fourth in Europe in the early 1990s. The company also operates resorts at each of the theme park sites (with the exception of ..."

"Route 66, the main route from Chicago to Los Angeles in years past, began early in the 19th Century as a series of wagon trails leading settlers south and west. As time went by, these trails were linked together as a direct line to the West Coast though country that was not subject to the wild winters found in the region of the Oregon and California Trails across the upper midwest and west. In Northern Arizona, the old trail was known as the Beale Wagon Road, which cut straight across the wilderness in the 1800s. Later the railroad line followed the trail, with many small towns sprouting up along the iron track (Fox, 1).
At the beginning of the 20th century, hard topped roads leading fro..."m

"EuroDisney opened in April 1992, and business from the first was not at the level anticipated or needed to pay for the investment. The experience the Disney company had with EuroDisney was different from what it had known with other Disney theme parks, each of which opened to large and growing business. In Europe, however, the park has lost money from the first. Projections had been made that the new park would attract 11 million visitors and produce $100 million in earnings in the first year, giving the company a small pre-tax profit. Instead, the park lost more than $900 million in the first two years. Attendance in 1992 was only 9.2 million, and visitors spent 12 percent less than anticipated. However, the park made its first quarterly profit in 1995, three years after its opening, and it was then predicted that the park would break..."

Of course, the tried-and-true local industries that have long sustained San Diego do continue to create revenue in the region. Tourism, always a factor in San Diego, persists as an agent for the..."

"Introduction
The sex industry in Thailand represents a major social problem in a developing part of the world and contributes to the continued subjugation of women in the region. The trade is fueled by young women migrating from rural to urban regions, often recruited for this very purpose, and also depends on the importation of women from rural regions in nearby countries, notably Burma. The trade has shifted much of the population, as might be expected, and so has also reduced the number of women agricultural workers remaining in rural regions.
Context
The Vietnam War has direct responsibility for the development of the sex industry in Thailand because during that conflict, U.S. troops used Thailand as a rest and recreation.."
