Abstract
This paper looks at the way that tourism has impacted life of the locals on Ibiza in Spain, which is one of the best-preserved medieval islands in Europe. It discusses both positive and negative affects of the tourism boom. The writer discusses how the Ibiza Ministry of Tourism, along with the locals and tourists, need to implement plans that will stop the damage being done to historical sites and adapt a policy that will enable the island to be enjoyed by everyone.
From the Paper
"A new territorial model has been made that gives no importance to the traditional architecture of the island. After hotel complexes, there were apartment blocks to fill the growing demand thus having no clear integration. Thus, there was minimum planning and development. Although there have been some positive impacts, the negative effects outweigh them. Mass tourism has shown a least regard for local resources, due to its intensity in area and time, its attitude of having minimal cost of accommodation and services, and the tourists who are naturally attracted by this low cost. Environment sustainability and the economy of the island are affected. Over exploitation of natural resources has been done, both human and physical and there has been a sort of cultural degradation in the air. (Tourism and Environment on the Island of Ibiza)"

From the Paper
"Jamaica is the third largest island in the Caribbean, discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1494, named earlier by the Arawak Indians, 'Xaymaca' or the 'land of wood and water'. The Spanish introduced slaves from Africa after 1513, as labourers in a new sugarcane industry. In 1655, Jamaica became a British colony, continuing on till its independence in 1962. Just before independence, economic development began that centered on cultivating tourism, in keeping with other emerging colonies of the British Commonwealth Caribbean. This paper shows that tourism involves a carrying on of colonial phenomenon in independent Jamaica, including the class gaps of a colonial society. The moneyed classes were those to invest directly..."

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.

Problems in moving toward sustainable tourism
Conclusion
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."

Heritage Tourism Management, 2004.
An overview of heritage tourism, with a focus on the heritage tourism market in Australia.
5,215 words (approx. 20.9 pages), 11 sources, MLA, $ 129.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
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)."

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."

"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.."

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."

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.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Review and Analysis
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."

Mass Murder in History, 2001.
This paper discusses mass murder throughout the ages.
1,800 words (approx. 7.2 pages), 3 sources, $ 57.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the lessons that can be learned on why political mass murder has occurred, how it can be prevented in the future, and an analysis of the history of western civilization since the 17th century.
From the paper:
"Mass murder like mass hysteria is a terrifying phenomenon to which the Western civilization has succumbed to all too easily in the bygone eras. As the term suggests, mass murder is the brutal killing of a massive population for a variety of reasons that can be either religious, moral and social or political, bigoted and racist in nature. Whatever the causes, mass murder remains one of those episodes in the history of Western civilization, which one would gladly like to forget. However not many measure up to the extermination of European Jews that occurred during the Second World War. This was a tragedy of insurmountable proportions and can be attributed to Hitler?s propagandist campaign that successfully mobilized the German masses, particularly the youth of the country. This incident better known as the Holocaust can be described as the extermination of European Jews by the Nazis during the years 1939-45."
