From the Paper
"During the last four decades tourism has become one of the world?s largest and fastest growing industries. As an industry, tourism in 1996 directly and indirectly generated and supported 204 million jobs world-wide, equivalent to more than 10% of the world?s workforce - a figure which is forecast to rise to over 11% during the first years of the new millennium. Tourism is in other words of great economic importance and new ?tourism areas? are constantly being developed, implying that consumers have even more destinations available to choose from when going on vacation. Moreover, people are travelling increasingly, among other things due to more flexible working hours and rising levels of disposable income. Furthermore, transportation networks have become more efficient which makes it possible to travel to any destination in the world within relatively few hours. The growing importance of tourism implies that national tourism boards around the world face intensive competition in the battle of attracting tourists. Hence, tourism marketers are faced with the challenge of developing new and different marketing strategies that will differentiate a destination from its competitors."

"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."

Abstract
History reveals that Kentucky had fertile land, water, forests and mineral wealth. No less significant was the access to a great abundance of fresh, unpolluted water, an element indispensable in the location and enjoyment of a homestead. This paper examines the use and abuse of Kentucky's environment.

Kentucky's Natural Environment
Sources of Water
Water Contamination
Sources of Surface-Water Pollution
Surface Water Quality
What are the Potential Sources of Ground-Water Contamination?
Impact on Ground-Water Quality

From the Paper
"Pioneers who filtered through Cumberland Gap strayed west down the Ohio River came with the starry-eyed dream of settling in a new Eden (Berry, 1991). They entered a land effervescing with fresh unpolluted water, planting a fresh agrarian economy on virgin soil, and in a forest of a seemingly unlimited timber supply. The nomenclature of Kentucky is highly meditative of these facts (Berry, 1991)."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the issue of how an international franchise copes with the speed at which international business and trade are growing. The paper examines the story of a simple American idea (Kentucky Fried Chicken) that became a popular domestic franchise and grew at a phenomenal pace. The Japanese franchise of Kentucky Fried Chicken is presented, and a number of options of how to deal with the rapid changes in the international market, are outlined. The paper offers a possible solution for continued and improved success of Kentucky Fried Chicken Japan.
From the Paper
"The most obvious transformation has taken place within the franchise field (which is really nothing more than a distribution system), where new organizational structures and international goals and desires are challenging managers to develop innovative constituency relationships. The idea of managerial constituencies is not a new one, and academic literature as far back as 1958 suggests that the manager has multiple obligations to multiple interest groups that include, but are not limited to, subordinates, superiors, fellow managers, stockholders and other financial stakeholders, and the local and global community (Schell & Marmer-Solomon, 1997)."

Abstract
Few issues transcend all economic, educational, ethnic, occupational, political, religious, and social lines and impact all individuals, either directly or indirectly. Poverty is one such issue, affecting all individuals and society, both economically and non-economically. The paper shows that the main causes of poverty are relatively simple to identify, i.e., lack of affordable housing, lack of high-paying jobs for lower and middle class wage earners, rising unemployment, etc. However, few effective and viable solutions to eliminating and/or reducing poverty have been identified and implemented. This paper analyzes and examines the multitude of issues related to African-American poverty in Kentucky, United States. This paper concludes with ways to eliminate and reduce poverty among minority groups in Kentucky and poverty in general.
From the Paper
"Clearly poverty among Blacks/African-Americans in Kentucky and poverty in general is a persistent and severe issue. There are several possible ways to eliminate and/or reduce poverty among Blacks/African-Americans in Kentucky and among individuals in general. One potential solution to hunger and poverty is to strengthen Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), the federal safety net program for low- or no-income families that allows states flexibility to design and implement its own TANF plan. Another possible solution is to increase the educational and employment opportunities available to individuals currently living in poverty as well as individuals at risk of becoming impoverished. By taking a proactive stance regarding poverty and offering individuals affordable educational and employment opportunities, there is potential to break the cycle of poverty."

Abstract
This paper reviews the history of the motorcycle helmet laws in the United States of America, with specific focus on the state of Kentucky.
The motorcycle helmet laws have undergone various changes, adaptations and then finally abandoned, since the original law was passed in the early 1970s.
From the Paper
"Motorcycle helmets do provide the very best protection to riders from fatal head injuries when they are riding a motorcycle, and meet with a crash. However, only the law can increase helmet usage among the general population, and therefore, it must be stated that the laws governing motorcycle usage must be more stringent and strict. Accordingly, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or the NHTSA ensures the safety of motorcyclists by requiring that all states follow the rule that states that all motorcycle riders must wear helmets. Statistics reveal that in the year 2002 alone, 3,244 motorcyclists died and a further 65,000 individuals were injured in crashes involving motorcycle riders in the United States of America. In the same way, it must be noted that an unhelmeted motorcyclist is 40% more likely to suffer from a fatal head injury than a helmeted person. This means that helmet usage can reduce the risk of fatality by about 37%. (Laws, Motorcycle Helmet Laws)."

The Pennsylvania "Kentucky" Flintlock Rifle, 2004.

Abstract
This paper examines the historical background of the Pennsylvania "Kentucky" Flintlock rifle. The paper describes the rifle's appearance, explores its origins, looks at its different purposes and uses throughout history, describes how it works, and explains why it is one of the most sought-after firearms by gun collectors.
From the Paper
"As was the usual practice, the Pennsylvania "Kentucky" flintlock was often handed down from father to son, due to being a rather expensive weapon which could sometimes cost half a year's wages. In Colonial America, before and after the American Revolution, this weapon was considered a man's most important possession, not only for its killing power but also for its beauty and artistic renderings. Designed primarily as a hunting rifle, the "Kentucky" flintlock also "put many a British soldier in an American grave" (Ross, 158). For today's gun collector, the "Kentucky" flintlock is perhaps the most sought-after firearm. A classic specimen is stocked in native American tiger stripe maple, and one from the Colonial "transition" period (1715-1775) in a plain grain of maple, walnut, cherry or birch can command a huge sum."

From the Paper
"Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) is a company that markets its product around the world, and it is subject to different cultural and economic forces in different countries. Competition can be fierce, and in the United States there is considerable competition today in the chicken segment of the fast food market. KFC is the leader being challenged by El Pollo Loco, Kenny Rogers Roasters, Boston Chicken, Popeye Chicken, and others.
Rotisserie chicken is perhaps the fastest-growing food category in restaurants and supermarkets, and Kentucky Fried Chicken controls half of the $7-billion market for fried chicken. The company is a subsidiary of PepsiCo. In 1993-1994, the company spent more than $100 million to introduce its Rotisserie Gold line at 5,000 stores nationwide."

Governor Patton in Kentucky, 2002.
An argument for Governor Patton to step down as Governor of Kentucky due to unethical behavior.
1,400 words (approx. 5.6 pages), 4 sources, $ 53.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper will discuss why Governor Patton should not resign, on one opposing side of the issue, because of an ethical stance on the sexual harassment case, which Tina Conner had charged him with. In my point of view, the elements of the Governor's case are clear that he set her up with financial advantages due to his powerful position, and that he acted unethical by forcing a nursing home, which he financed for Conner, into bankruptcy. By presenting some outside references to prove this, I will show my point of view on the unethical behavior of the Governor, as well as the opposite opinions for his continuing role as governor

From the Paper
"Though KFC, Yum! Brands, Inc., and the fast food industry in general are lucrative, recent movement towards healthy living and eating has impacted negatively on the industry and now comprises a significant long-term sociocultural environmental variable. Short term, the fast food industry generally does well both domestically and internationally owing to busy lifestyles and the growing number of adults who live alone and prefer take-out to cooking. However, the industry is now being threatened by healthier, swift, sophisticated and cheap alternatives, such as the current take-away sushi boom. Many existing players in the fast food industry have responded to this environmental threat by including healthy food options in their restaurants. Prominent examples include McDonalds and the newer entrant to the fast food market, Subway. However, as KFC is primarily popular for its fried (and therefore, unhealthy) chicken and related fried products, the company has not adjusted to this threat at a competitive level."

Abstract
This paper describes the events surrounding the 1988 Carrolton, Kentucky bus crash where 27 died. The event remains one of the worst accidents involving a bus and a driver under the influence and is important for organizations such as MADD and SADD to push for harsher laws against DUI offenders. The paper shows that major legislation came from this accident and buses have been made safer for students involved in an accident. The paper looks at the bad choices made by people who get behind a wheel while intoxicated.
From the Paper
"Although this accident was a horrendous tragedy, to its credit, the collision is responsible for sweeping changes in many rules, regulations, and design changes in the manufacture of school buses. The thoroughness of the accident investigation and the examination led to many changes in bus technology, for both safety and survivability of its occupants. The requirements for Kentucky school buses are more stringent than in any other state or federal mandate."
