The importance of tourism in climatic-extreme destinations
Seminar paper from the year 2022 in the subject Tourism - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,3, language: English, abstract: This paper is about the importance of tourism in climatic-extreme destinations. Using the Coachella Valley and Mount Everest region as case studies. The main aim of this research is to highlight the economic impacts on the local community to prove that both destinations are highly dependent on tourism. In the last chapter, the devastating economic impacts of the covid pandemic - as a contrary situation - on each destination are observed to substantiate the importance of seasonal tourists. Resulting, more concrete statements on tourism dependency will be made, as worldwide travel restrictions and lockdowns led to a slump in the tourism industry, directly affecting the local economy. It is a well-known fact that the tourism sector can contribute to the economic growth of a region. This is why the tourism industry plays a crucial role in destination development - both directly and indirectly. As a result, tourism generates a variety of social benefits for a region like the creation of new jobs, infrastructural improvements and allows small-sized enterprises to grow. Consequently, tourism is even more important for seasonal and climatically challenging destinations to guarantee the survivability of the local community during the low season with hardly any tourists. Therefore, it is highly relevant to illustrate this positive influence in more detail. Throughout the entire paper, case studies of two different and climatically distinct destinations will be used: The Coachella Valley as a desert in California and in contrast the Mount Everest region with unpredictable temperatures combined with a lack of oxygen. There is no doubt that Mount Everest attracts significantly more spendy adventurers every single year. In addition, the Coachella Valley in California is primarily drawn by over 250,000 visitors in April from all over the globe to attend the f
The fundamentals and strategies of nature based tourism and ecotourism
Essay from the year 2022 in the subject Tourism - Miscellaneous, grade: 2,0, language: English, abstract: This essay is about the fundamentals and strategies of nature based tourism and ecotourism. Ecotourism, which is a type of alternative tourism, is separated into two categories: "hard" and "soft" ecotourism. Hard ecotourism is characterized by a scientific interest in the environment, biodiversity as well as wildlife. Hard ecotourism is the most opulent type of ecotourism, frequently involving a lack of hotel accommodations or other amenities. Sleeping at an environmentally friendly campground is one illustration of hard ecotourism. General or "soft" ecotourism, which is similarly based on a fascination with nature, adopts a less intense approach. Hiking is prevalent, although it is regarded a recreational activity rather than a conduit for environmental research, as it would be in hard ecotourism. Ecotourism is not designed to have negative environmental implications, but given the lack of clarity about what constitutes sustainable practices, this could happen inadvertently. As a result, it is critical to explain those negative consequences, as well as the necessity of management strategies as a tool for reducing or even eliminating those consequences. Nature-based tourism is a broad word for tourist practices that require people interacting with the earth in ways that are distinct from humankind's usual activities. Regardless of the fact that pristine countryside is desirable, tourists often want modern conveniences and tailored items. There seems to be a conflict between desired and ideal levels of growth and development because it is incompatible with the fundamental vision of eco - as well as nature-based tourism.

School Atlas (With Online Content on Dropbox)
This book offers remedies through the use of herbs commonly available in the market. This book discusses the properties of popular herbs, (their availability, alternative names, chemical composition, uses & benefits and caution) such as, Ashwagandha, Aloe vera, Asparagus (Shatawar), Neem, Basil, Bhringraj, Cardamom, Papaya, Brahmi, Quinine, Cinnamon, Amla, Ginger, Pudina, Poppy, Safed Musli, Shankapushpi, Baheda, Haritaki besides many more; and offers treatment for ailments, which every family faces at some point of time. Natural medicines often provide a safe, effective, and economical alternative to pharmaceuticals, and research validates this finding. Many modern drugs are actually derived from plants such as morphine from the opium poppy, digitalis from foxglove, and reserpine from rauwolfia. Herbs are less likely than pharmaceuticals to cause side effects which, when they do occur, are generally far milder. Herbs work physiologically to restore balance rather than simply targeting a symptom. As a result, herbs often tend to take effect more gradually than pharmaceuticals.

Online Reputation of Baku City (Azerbaijan) as a Tourism Destination
Master's Thesis from the year 2016 in the subject Tourism - Miscellaneous, language: English, abstract: The focus of the thesis is to investigate the current online reputation of the tourism destination Baku (Azerbaijan), and to underline the importance of examination of the online reputation for this tourism destination. In particular, existing communication gaps between official and unofficial online communication will be closely investigated. Finally, throughout the research, scientific literature devoted to the reputation concept will be analysed and based on the findings the existing lacks in this field will also be addressed. In the last decade the study of online reputation was the focus for many scholars. The advent of the Web 2.0 allowed Internet users to produce online contents, and as consequence increased the needs to better understand how to manage the online reputation of an object, person, a company, and a tourism destination as well. Indeed, in the current dynamics of a business environment, the monitoring of online reputation became an essential part of management for organisations, and also DMOs (Destination Management Organizations) are also involved in such a phenomenon.
Exploring the determinants of satisfactory shark tourism experiences from the participants’ perspective in Gansbaai, South Africa
Gansbaai, a small coastal town in South Africa, is considered "the shark cage diving capital of the world", despite there being over 40 shark tourism destinations worldwide. However, Gansbaai has one outstanding feature which few other destinations have: great white sharks. Because of this, Gansbaai attracts visitors from all over the world who travel to the area with the expectation to witness this particular species, making it an international hotspot for shark tourists. However, in recent years, a decline in the great white shark population has been widely reported in the media. The decline of the shark population is not only a problem for South Africa, but globally. Today, 172 shark species are already on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Yet, South Africa is one of the few places on earth where humans have the opportunity to interact with this species at close range. The outcry is great, as the impact on the South African shark industry has been profound. It seems that this has also had an impact on the satisfaction of the participants, as an ad-hoc analysis of online ratings shows. This is critical for the industry, as potential participants nowadays take their cue from the experiences of previous people.The main reason for this is the confusing plethora of tourism services available today. Therefore, the online review platform TripAdvisor has become a reliable source for travel decisions. Accordingly, analyses of online reviews have become particularly popular in the tourism and hospitality industry as it allows service providers to gain insight into what influences consumer satisfaction. This shows the importance for tour operators in Gansbaai's shark industry to understand what influences visitor satisfaction in order to adjust their concepts sustainably. Therefore, the aim of the study is to identify the factors which influence visitor satisfaction in the shark tourism industry in Gansbaai based on TripAdvisor reviews.

Historical Atlas of New Mexico
"Combines a good geography of the state with much interesting information along practically any line one might wish to follow." Navajo Times "It is a supreme treat to look at a volume so well organized. . . . [T]his is a must-have book." American West "School teachers will hail this book with delight, and students at any level will wonder how anyone ever got along without it." Santa Fe New Mexican New Mexico's long and dramatic history was in many ways predestined by its location, vast size, and abundant mineral resources. Treasure-hunting Spanish explorers tramped across its plains and scaled its mountains in search of the Seven Cities of C穩bola in the sixteenth century. In clashing with descendants of the prehistoric Indian population, the Spanish began three centuries of struggles that lasted through the nineteenth century when the steamroller of United States expansion arrived. The history of New Mexico is the story of the blending of the three cultures-Hispanic, Indian, and Anglo. In this volume, a historian and a cartographer collaborate to depict specific aspects of the state's geography and events of its history, with the narrative illustrated through maps. Topics include geographical data (from topography to weather), sites of prehistoric civilizations, Spanish and United States expeditions, first towns, historic trails, the Civil War, stagecoach lines, railroads, county boundaries, principal cities and roads, state and national parks and monuments, and state judicial districts. Warren A. Beck was Professor of History at California State University, Fullerton. Ynez D. Haase is a professional geographer and cartographer in Santa Barbara. Beck and Haase are coauthors of Historical Atlas of California and Historical Atlas of the American West, also published by the University of Oklahoma Press.

To achieve the above objectives, the study adopted the empirical evidence for the analyses and presentation of data. In quantitative techniques, the analyses were supported by the use of statistical package for social science, proportions, percentages and averages to arrive at a general picture for the generation of conclusion. Qualitative data from questionnaires and active observation of some wildlife for instance baboon's and monkey behavior, and other evidences were analyzed thematically employed into the computation of statistical tables, bar graphs as well as charts. Human-Wildlife Conflict has become a serious problem in different parts of the world with adverse impacts on lives of the local people. This has been attributed to a number of factors including the fact that human population increases but the resources available are fixed. Close to the protected areas for instance, the problem is very serious with the local communities' interaction with wildlife creating negative impacts to both sides. Destruction o
Management Aspects of an Ecotourism Attraction. A Review on Idanre Hills
Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Tourism - Miscellaneous, grade: A2, Obafemi Awolowo University, language: English, abstract: The present study is aimed at evaluating the current state of the management of Idanre Hills with the view to contribute knowledge to the sustainable development of the attraction. The natural landscape of the hills is replete with an abundance of biodiversity and a cultural heritage that has survived for centuries. Today, the Idanre landscape is a preferred destination explored for its benefits (notably environmental, economic and socio-cultural). Being in the tentative list of world heritage site, the stakeholders in accordance with the UNESCO regulation have been tasked with adopting effective management and protection strategies to ensure the development of a sustainable heritage site for the present and future generations amongst other benefits. From analysis of literature, in its current state; some factors were found to constitute barriers to the attainment of high performance in the management of Idanre hills including conflict of interests between members of the Idanre community and the state authority on the subject of management; inadequate financial resources, climate change, lack of political will, poor infrastructure, limited education in tourism destination management amongst others. Various solutions have been proffered concerning effective management and sustainable development of tourism attraction from scholarly works. Meanwhile, it is believed that the recommendations for the assessment of management performance should ultimately be in line with the criteria as specified by the UNESCO for the reason that Idanre hills is in the tentative list of world heritage sites. The outcome of adhering to these management criteria is that consequently, the conditions of integrity of the attraction are sustained or enhanced over a longer period.

Energiemanagement in der Hotellerie. Wie kann man das Klima sch羹tzen und Kosten senken?
Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich Tourismus - Hotelmanagement, Note: 1,3, HAWK Hochschule f羹r angewandte Wissenschaft und Kunst - Fachhochschule Hildesheim, Holzminden, G繹ttingen, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die vorliegende Arbeit richtet sich an speziell an Energiefragen interessierte Hoteliers, aber vor allem auch an diejenigen, die Interesse daran haben, im Hotelgewerbe durch einen verantwortungsvollen Umgang mit k羹nstlichen und nat羹rlichen Ressourcen ihre Energiekosten zu senken oder Installationen zur Energieeinsparung umzusetzen, um sich somit aktiv f羹r eine allgemeine Reduktion des Energieverbrauches zu engagieren. Das Thema Energiemanagement ist seit Jahren ein wesentlicher Bestandteil f羹r die Wirtschaft. Klimaerw瓣rmung und Folgen des Klimawandels sowie der Anstieg von CO2-Emissionen sind eines der gr繹?ten globalen Probleme des 21. Jahrhunderts. Deshalb ist es wichtig geworden, sich intensiver mit diesem Thema auseinanderzusetzen. Mit den zur Implementierung vorgestellten Ma?nahmen des Energiemanagements soll aufgezeigt werden, dass in der Hotellerie wirtschaftliche Energieeinsparpotenziale bestehen sowie diese fr羹hzeitig erkannt und mit gezielten Ma?nahmen und teils geringem Aufwand erreicht werden k繹nnen. Dar羹ber hinaus l瓣sst sich der fortschreitende Klimawandel durch ein erfolgreiches Energiemanagement positiv beeinflussen. Neben der Betriebskostensenkung und dem aktiven Umweltschutz soll sich der Gast, aber auch jeder einzelne Mitarbeiter durch h繹chste Komfortanspr羹che wohlf羹hlen. Beste Voraussetzungen bieten daf羹r Geb瓣ude, welche durch entsprechende Sanierungen bzw. Erweiterungen energieeffizient umgestaltet werden k繹nnen. Auf praxisnahe Weise sollen die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit dabei helfen, den Hotelbetreiber im verantwortungsvollen Umgang mit Energie zu unterst羹tzen und betriebliche Einsparungsma?nahmen zu realisieren.
