Tourism in Europe's Mediterranean countries is a big business, but it is not loved. It is blamed for polluting the landscape, spoiling the beaches and corrupting the locals' morals. This is partly the countries' own doing. During the 40 years of breakneck development that followed, vast stretches of the Spanish coast were concreted over, transforming the Costa del Sol into the Costa del Concrete and attracting hordes of tourists in search of sun, sea and sand. Some Greek islands have come to resemble a Hellenic Hong Kong, with high- rise hotels and traffic jams. Today Cancun has nearly 24,000 hotel rooms, roughly 4 million visitors a year and an average of 190 flights daily. Mass tourism needs mass development, but don't pave paradise to put up a parking lot.
I can say for the first time that the mummy is safe and the mummy is well preserved, and at the same time, all the tourists who will enter this tomb will be able to see the face of Tutankhamen for the first time," Egypt's antiquities chief Zahi Hawass said from inside the hot and sticky tomb. Experts fear a more recent phenomenon -- mass tourism -- is further deteriorating Tut's mummy. Thousands of tourists visit the underground chamber every month, and Hawass said within 50 years the mummy could dissolve into dust. Archeologists in recent years have tried to resolve lingering questions over how he died and his precise royal lineage. In 2005, scientists removed Tut's mummy from his tomb and placed it into a portable CT scanner for 15 minutes to obtain a three-dimensional image. The sca...

In October 2004, Manitoba became the first province to ban smoking in all indoor public spaces. (The Northwest Territories and Nunavut preceded Manitoba and New Brunswick introduced a ban the same month as Manitoba.) This was followed in January 2008 with a ban on smoking in any indoor workspace. It's really a matter of continuing to work on all fronts," said [Dhali Dhaliwal]. "There isn't one single policy that will conquer or eliminate the dreadful problem of exposure to smoking. Manitoba Lotteries predicted a 50 per cent drop in gaming tourism visits and a $14-million drop in overall revenues that flow to provincial coffers. Hotels, restaurants and bars foresaw mass layoffs and closures, and vowed to do whatever they could to stop the ban. "I don't see anyone who wants this," said ...

The World Tourism Conference which was held at Manila,Philippines in October 1980, considered the nature of tourism in all its aspects and the role tourism is bound to play in a dynamic and vastly changing world. The Manila Declaration on World Tourism argues that there are many constraint on the development of tourism, and groups of Nations should determine and study these constraints, and adopt measures aimed at removing their negative influence. It has been observed that violent crimes, civil unrest, kidnapping for ransom and terrorism to mention some, are enemies of tourism in Nigeria. Regrettably, the security warnings declared by Nation States and International Organizations against the danger posed by these constraints on tourism have been misconstrued as negative propaganda in N...

The trip was the brainchild of Marc and AC Dolgin, of the Ottawa area, and their Montreal musician son Josh. Two years ago, they joined a Mennonite heritage cruise on the Dnieper and visited the birthplace of Marc's father Joseph in Zaporozhye, about 700 kilometres southeast of Kiev. Josh was inspired to propose a Jewish heritage cruise complete with klezmer music. When the cruise was announced, my daughter Lisa, who works near Tokyo, and I were inspired to sign on, and also to book private excursions to explore our roots. My grandfather Louis Mallin's name was Malinsky -- which means "from Malin" -- before he arrived in Winnipeg in 1913 from England, but we're not certain where he was born. In the town of Malin, about 85 km west of Kiev, we met and connected wonderfully with Jews from...
