Abstract
There are a number of problems that a translator might come upon when translating wh- words from Bulgarian into English. This paper looks at "who" and "which" in particular. Why is there a problem? In English, "who" and "which" do not take grammatical markers for gender and number, while in Bulgarian they do . In English and Bulgarian, gender is grammaticalized differently. This particularity is sometimes considered a problem for certain translations from Bulgarian, and more specifically, when gender seems of importance to the Bulgarian text. This paper deals with the notions of grammatical and semantic gender only because the former exists in Bulgarian and the latter is used in English. This paper begins with some preliminary remarks, exposing the differences between Bulgarian and English when it comes to number and gender markings. Some translation examples are discussed in more detail in the section entitled "Examples". It must be pointed out that the paper investigates only one side of the problem, where Bulgarian is the source language and English is the target language. Back translation is not discussed here. The main focus is on how gender itself is produced and translated. Following paragraphs clarify what gender is in both languages and what problems translators might encounter if they choose to transfer a gendered reference from Bulgarian into English.

From the Paper
"In the extra-linguistic world, gender is a physiological phenomenon connected with the structure of some living beings. There are objects with no sex (inanimate) and others with sex (animate). The category of sex has two exponents (male and female). These facts can be reflected in language since gender markings in a given language are, on the first place, categories established through our contact with the natural differences between the sexes and between what we have called "the animate" and "the inanimate". Thus, the linguistic exponent of sex has the following grammatical and/or lexical correspondences in English:
1 M / he male (animate) boy, father, John, etc.
2 F / she female (animate) girl, mother, Mary, etc.
3 N / it O gender (inanimate/undetermined) cat, stone, table, baby (if sex unknown)"

Abstract
This paper examines how heritage tourism is one of the fastest-growing tourism types in the world today. It focuses on the heritage tourism market in Australia, including a discussion on the heritage tourists themselves. In addition, it reviews and assesses current Australian heritage resources, as well as the management of successful heritage tourism sites. It also evaluates the best way to maintain sustainable heritage tourism within Australia through the examination of a specific case study of Kakadu National Park. It demonstrates that, with proper maintenance and care, the heritage tourism market can thrive and can be an extremely useful tool in teaching future generations, both indigenous and foreign, about the country and the people who have made that country great.
From the Paper
"In addition to the evaluation of specific sites, there is also important value in understanding the heritage themes that deem areas to be considered a cultural site. The Australian heritage Commission identifies nine main themes for heritage resources, each of which includes a host of sub themes. The main themes are the evolution of the environment, the indigenous populations, the development of local, regional, and state economy, the construction of settlements and towns, Australian work environments, education, government, cultural, and phases of life. Within each theme are sub themes such as historical people involved, the evolution of the main theme, and historical references to main points within each theme (Australian Heritage Commission, 2001, 3)."

From the Paper
"Despite terrorism, despite vagaries of national currencies, despite "virtually anything, it is likely that tourism will continue as long as mankind does; man is an explorer, and has always been. So it makes sense, in this era of heightened interest in anything exotic for nations that possess extraordinary natural or historic sites to exploit them. Doing so gives the people what they want?the tourist people in any case. But doing so can also give the local population what it needs: improved infrastructures, improved services from clean water to modern medical care. There is one caveat, however. Sustainable doesn?t mean that these sites will manage themselves and continue indefinitely to provide benefits."

Tourism in Dubai and UAE, 2004.
This paper investigates major issues relating to tourism development strategy in the UAE, especially Dubai, which is the best-known and the fastest-growing tourist area in the Middle East.

Abstract
This paper explains that the UAE is endowed with an extensive coastline fringed by white sandy beaches and a varied landscape suitable for a wide variety of activities from powerboat races to sand skiing to golf . The author suggests that, to draw more tourists to stay longer, increase spending, and make repeat visits, efforts need to be intensified to represent Dubai and UAE as exotic places with year-round events filled with a carnival atmosphere. This requires a well-planned and widely publicized tourism calendar throughout the year and well in advance. The paper stresses that tourism must be placed high on the national agenda and be given the same status as expor-oriented and infrastructure industry.

"The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a federation, consisting of seven tribally based emirates that lead the southeastern portion of the Arabian Peninsula south of Bahrain and Qatar. The federation covers 83,600 square kilometers and geographically it is enclosed on the north by the Persian Gulf and Iran, on the east by Oman, and on the south and west by Saudi Arabia. Its geographical locations separate Oman from its territory on the Musandam peninsula and extend 90 kilometers along the Gulf of Oman, an area known as the al-Batinah coast. The curse of the nature in the form of arid desert and salt flats are visible everywhere. However, Arabs are not a frustrated lot due to arid climates and blessed in the form of oil reserves by the Mother Nature. They are blessed with mountains in the northeast that rise to 1,200 meters. Due to low rainfall, there are few fertile areas except in the north and among the oases."

Abstract
This paper explains that the Gulf States countries realize that they can not continue to sustain their economies based on crude oil; therefore, they have identified the tourism industry as a viable option for the economy of the region. The author points out that the success of the tourism industry is dependent on regional stability, which is a problem in the Arabian Peninsula. The paper relates that tourism industry is labor-intensive; however, in the Persian Gulf region, the native population density is low, and skilled and trained workforces are generally imported from around the world.

Summary
From the Paper
"In 2002, WTTC organized the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) in Johannesburg, South Africa to identify the important factors and constraints that are facing the travel and tourism industry. (WTTC) Tremendous amounts of resources and investments are made by the private sector in the travel and tourism industry. The private sector is always driven by the need to generate profits and revenue for the organization making the investments at the same time these entities are expected to practice responsible behavior and observe the laws and regulation of the region within which they conduct business and behave ethically and morally in the region. Long term planning and resource development is also essential. It does not make financial sense for a corporation to build a multibillion dollar resort only to have to abandon it ten years down the road if the corporation has not been able to maintain the integrity and environment in which the resort operates.

Abstract
This paper examines how many communities have been able to improve their tourism levels effectively in recent years. It particularly focuses on the Northern Territory's (Australia) strategic plan for tourism 2003 to 2007 and how it has accomplished its goals. It analyzes their strategic plan according to the insights and trends identified in a critical review of the peer-reviewed and scholarly literature.

Background and Overview
Strategic Tourism Management Considerations for the Northern Territory
Guidelines for Developing Effective Tourism Management Programs
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The research showed that the Northern Territory of Australia represents a challenge for policymakers seeking to introduce sustainable tourism development initiatives into a potentially fragile cultural environment. The NT Tourism Strategic Plan was shown to be a comprehensive and ambitious initiative designed to provide this region with a wide range of developmental programs that can serve to promote employment and living standards for the large percentage of indigenous people living there. The research also showed, though, that such development initiatives must be approached thoughtfully to avoid harming the very things about a particular region that make it attractive to niche travelers in the first place, and this is especially the case with the people of the Northern Territory today."

Abstract
The paper is a review of an article entitled "Cultural tourism, the State, and the Day of the Dead", which the writer find particularly relevant to him because of his plans to observe Day of the Dead celebrations during an upcoming visit to Mexico. The paper then relates the emotions of the writer prior to an intended visit to Mexico during the "Day of the Dead " celebrations, noting that there is a conflict between the authorities who welcome tourism on this holiday and the civilians who see tourism as intrusion into a sacred historical ritual and oppose it being promoted as a tourist attraction. The paper also explains that the community is divided on the subject, as many recognize the economic importance of tourism.
From the Paper
"These dynamics are evident in Mexico, particularly concerning how to mediate the conflict between the state and local residents over the tourist attraction that Day of the Dead festivities have become because of globalization. Cano and Mysyk have studied the problems which have arisen in the village of Huaquechula since 1988, when the one road leading into the village was paved for the benefit of tourists and the village became a part of the tourism circuit. In the process of studying the impact of these developments, Mysyk surveyed the villagers regarding their appreciation of the presence of tourists, their behavior, their feelings about tourists photographing or videotaping altars, and related issues."

Major realignment has taken place in Thailand's marketing plans where advertising budgets were cut and promotional offices abroad have been closed. New markets have been tapped as well as new forms of distribution which had as its' focus direct contact between the buyers and sellers in the tourism market. Stated is "...an increasing trend toward partnerships and pooling of resources as a means of maximizing the promotional dollar by integrating all the stakeholders from transportation and commerce in health and retail..."

Tourism in China, 2005.
Examines the effect of the convention and exhibition industry on Chinese tourism.

Abstract
This paper deals primarily with convention and exhibition business as it pertains to China and discusses some of the problems that the industry faces due to a lack of perceived understanding. The first chapter examines the statement of the problem and provides details about why a study of this nature is necessary. In chapter two, the literature on the subject is reviewed. Since there is not enough literature to provide a comprehensive account of convention and exhibition business when it comes to China, other countries are looked at in the form of case studies and these are compared to China. The paper shows that China would do well to merge its convention and exhibition industry and its tourism industry as much as possible and that other countries may also want to examine the idea of doing this. The third chapter deals with the methodology of the issue and how the study itself was conducted. What kind of data was collected, as well as where it came from and how it will be analyzed are all important issues discussed in chapter three, which provides a strong lead-in for chapter four, where the data that was collected is actually analyzed. This analysis is at the heart of the study, and the research questions that were created in chapter one are dealt with again in light of the information collected. In the last chapter, the information is summarized and conclusions are drawn about the issue. The recommendations for future research into the area of convention and exhibition business in China are also provided.

From the Paper
"Conventions and exhibitions should be studied with relation to the tourism industry. On the inside, incentive travel, exhibition participation, and reception service of receiver are traditional tourism categories in general. The argument is that the convention and exhibition industry also pertains to the tourism industry category. Dai (2003) notes that examination, approving, and holding of conventions and exhibitions are all started from an external economic trade department and correlative function department in China. Accordingly, many people regard 'tourism of after convention and exhibition participation' as one part of the tourism industry but they do not consider that the collectivity of conventions and exhibitions is composed of urban tourism. This is, on the whole, a very narrow perspective, and there are reasons why the researcher believes this."

"The Hong Kong market has long been synonymous with the business and financial set but it has also developed a substantial tourism industry. Hong Kong has become a tourism destination both for its proximity to Mainland China as well as for its own unique sights and sounds. Tourism officials in Hong Kong estimate that the number of overall arrivals into the region increased by over 8% just during the first 10 months of 2006 to a total of 20.76m unique arrivals classified as tourist related travel (HK, 2006)."

The writer suggests that more could be made of the skiing areas in Canada to attract tourists. The writer also notes that much of Toronto has been used for filming in lieu of New York City, for instance, and suggests that the names of those films be featured in tourist advertising.

Introduction
Findings
Conclusions
From the Paper
"The percentage of loss for Canada was exceeded only by the loss for Montserrat, a region suffering from volcanic explosions since 1995; Aruba, in decline since the Natalee Holloway disappearance; and Uruguay. While the drop for these other regions can be explained by various unusual circumstances, the decline for Canada appears to be more basic and to relate largely to the perception the world has of Canada as an unexciting destination. Certain specific issues can be cited with reference to tourism from the United Sates, however, such as changes in travel rules so that in the near future, a passport will be required."

Tourism / Hospitality and Travel Marketing, 2006.
An analysis of the tourism environment and hospitality marketing industry as a strong factor in globalization.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Tourism is one of the world's largest and fastest growing industries. The paper discusses how the World Tourism Organization (WTO) views tourism and its defining feature. It also mentions the poverty and tourism. The importance that the role of marketing plays in tourism is also examined; hospitality and marketing depend on one another. The role of transportation is also analyzed. The paper concludes that the tourism environment and hospitality marketing industry will always remain a strong factor in globalization, even in light of disasters that can negatively influence vacation and travel.
From the Paper
"In recent years, the comprehensive atmosphere of tourism has undergone extensive changes worldwide in comparison to tourism during decades of the past. The traditional face of tourism has been exposed to numerous acts of terrorism, and even more recently, historical natural disasters. Although these recent tragedies have significantly altered tourism, the tourism and hospitality sector nevertheless remain as one of the largest components of the global economy. Even in recent years, the growth rate of tourism supersedes that of most other goods and services. As a result of this rapid growth, the profile of tourists has changed as consumers apparently have become more experienced, more demanding, and more likely to treat tourism purchases in very much the same way as they do any other item of consumption (Baum & Moudambi, 1999). The globalization of communications transport and technology has also created a new environment for tourism's economic and social planning. This has led to new tourism policy formulations and recommendations both by and for tourism professionals. This paper will discuss a comprehensive understanding of such elements of tourism as outlined above."
