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 Within each theme are sub themes such as historical people involved, the evolution of the main theme, and historical references to main points within each theme (Australian Heritage Commission, 2001, 3)."

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."

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 defines the term "operations management" and explains how this type of management came about. It talks about how operations management, at one time applied only to products, now applies to services as well. This change has allowed the tourism and hospitality industries to rely on operations management, even though its original concept of derived from production environments. The paper goes on to discuss the way operations management is utilized in the tourism and hospitality industries and why it is so important to these industries. The case of Marriott International is used to illustrate the points made by the paper.
From the Paper
"During the 20th century, management was considered to be the domain of those at the top of the company making decisions and strategizing for the short and long term. With the emergence of the scientific management school of Frederick Taylor and Henry Ford, a new breed of managers became dominant in organizations. Over the years, the trend changed to give rise to a new school of management that would allow the top management to oversee the staffs while they are working as well as resolve problems and issues on the spot. The basic premise had been to allow decision makers to interact with staffs in their day to day activity and be able to fully realize the implication of their decisions."

Executive Summary
The Many Benefits of integration Supply Chain Concepts into Tourism
What's Needed is a Supply Chain Framework for Tourism
Summary
From the Paper
"The best practices as defined by Aberdeen Group , AMR Research , Gartner Group and several other research firms all point the need for service industries to focus first on creating strong, integrative reporting and information sharing relationships throughout their supply chains. The goal of having these many integrative relationships is to provide each member of the supply chain and the tourism package provider with visibility of sources of supply to meet demand. AMR Research calls this collective integration of suppliers a Demand Driven Supply Network (DDSN) the goal of which is to give suppliers visibility into the specifics of each partner's current inventory positions, sharable pricing scenarios and levels, and sourcing strategies. DDSN is a concept that is useful to the tourism industry in that it illustrates the relative level of integrative relationships between suppliers, which is critical for sustainable business models. "

"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."

From the Paper
"In 1988, tourism once again began a rise. This time, however, the crisis in the Middle East that eventually erupted into the Gulf War brought tourism to a screeching halt. When the Gulf War ended, tourism was once again expected to begin a growth phase. By that time, however, the United States had entered into another economic recession, and economic activity in most of the other industrial nations had begun to slow. At that time, recovery in the travel industry was not expected to occur until the mid-1990s."

Abstract
This paper focuses primarily on current issues in hotel and motel management and operations, as well as the travel and tourism industry in general. More specifically, the paper discusses the utilization of technology as an asset in hotel and motel management and operations.
From the Paper
"For hotel and motel management and operations to be comprehensively understood, they must be considered within the context of the hospitality industry as a whole. Within this framework the management and operations of hotel and motel?s is best understood and analyzed (Gray & Liguori, 1993). The hotel industry has existed since the dawn of time. At one time or another all men traveled, and in the course of travel needed to find adequate lodging of some sort. Traditionally this lodging came in the form of a room or bed in the home of a stranger. The travel and tourism industry in fact emerged from the need of man to travel (Gray & Liguori, 1993). From the earliest times there is evidence that man sought out refuge from people and hospitality; as early as in Biblical times and in ancient Greece and Rome in fact there is evidence that people offered hospitality to traveling strangers (Gray & Liguori, 1993)."

Strategies Core Competencies Sustainability
From the Paper
"All the hotels, pubs and restaurants were diversifying their customer base, in particular to even out peaks and troughs in demand by attracting a mix of business and leisure customers, while the contract catering companies also balanced corporate clients with leisure functions, high street retailing and specialist supply to hotels. While two-thirds of the establishments were expanding or diversifying their product service range, there was some contrasting evidence of increasing segmentation and specialization."

It is important that, when reservations are made, that the reservations clerk confirm if a Senior Discount applies. There are, of course, many travel professionals who specialize in creating tours for senior citizens, and these bookings would normally inform the hotel about such discounts."

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
This paper looks at how, during the past two decades, the former Soviet Union has gone through many different changes, with the biggest one being the dismantling of its very existence and government and the slow process of rebuilding it from the ground up. It examines how, in the former Soviet Union, there were many strict rules, and the heavy arm of Communism was felt throughout the state. One of the things that was heavily mandated was the freedom of religion. It explores how the Jewish faith encountered severe opposition in the Soviet Union for many years and how, with the dismantling of the Soviet Union, the question of religious freedom has again raised its head and how the Russian Jewish heritage is again taking a turn in the road. It shows how after a century of being attacked, ignored, oppressed, and punished, it is beginning to come alive and be recognized as a growing and active faith among the Russian residents who are Jewish.
From the Paper
"By the early 1800?s Nicholas was in control and decided he was going to handle the Jewish problem once and for all. He used suppression and cohesion to do his work and ordered thousands of Jewish youth into the army. The youths ranged from 12-25 years old. This move caused significant problems in the Jewish communities as it demoralized and angered those who were forced to give up their children for an army to defend a nation that treated them like second class citizens. It became a tug of war with the Jewish parents refusing to send their sons and the government sending in what were called ?snatchers? to steal them away and make them join."
