    ewew NN ealandealand ZZCities by the Sea By Monica Frim Photography by Monica and John Frim Maurice Shadbolt, the enigmatic writer whose works of fiction and non-fiction greatly illuminated New Zealand culture and social history, wryly didn’t seem to care for the cities of his homeland. In the 1950s, he wrote that New Zealand’s cities “were among the most joyless in human history.” Now, some 60 years later, I’d venture he’d eat those words. We were meandering about the city of Auckland reminiscing about the change that Splayed across some 50 volcanic cones that taper into a skinny neck of land flanked by two had taken place since our first visit more than 30 years ago. At that time, Auckland was large harbours, Auckland is defined by its volcanic bumps and watery indentations. The dormant partway through a major facelift that had many residents and onlookers scratching volcanoes have been turned into city parks like Eden Hill, One Tree Hill, and the Auckland Domain. Protected from their heads in dismay. The new developments took place with little architectural and development, these lush green parklands provide panoramic views over the city and harbor. design control. While some historical buildings were lovingly restored and refurbished, If a city can be both lax and urbane, Auckland is it. Artsy shops, swanky restaurants and world-class museums others fell to the wrecking ball to be replaced by a shuffle of mismatched high rises and galleries co-exist among parklands and walking trails that spider along the waterfront and up the slopes of that elicited complaints about newly created shadows and wind tunnels.

Although it is an old form of tourism and lies at the foundation of classic European Grand Tour, it has not received much academic attention until recently and a number of qualitative studies on literary tourist experiences is still limited. The general aim of this study is to address the lack of knowledge on literary tourist experiences by analysing the role of authenticity in literary tourist experience through the analysis of literary tourists‟ accounts of their literary trips. The scientific objective is to explore the connection between the imagination and authenticity at literary tourism sites. An ongoing discourse on authenticity in tourism saw the emergence of different views and resulted in proposition of three types of authenticity, namely objective, constructive and existential authenticity; the first two types are viewed as object-related, while existential authenticity is subject (or tourist)-related and is based on personal experience.

  • 1 University of Queensland Susan Sullivan the Quest for Tourism
    Sullivan The quest for tourism authenticity University of Queensland Susan Sullivan The quest for tourism authenticity: The mediation and appropriation of literary- induced tourism Abstract: Authenticity is a much-debated concept across fields as diverse as tourism to philosophy. In the tourism and travel arena, authenticity is primarily viewed through the lens of the tourist rather than the experience of the travel writer. One way in which existential authenticity is realised in tourism experiences is through the evocation of feelings, emotions and states of being in both travel communication and the actual tourism activity. This article looks at how themes from literature and subsequent adaptions into popular culture via film and television are appropriated by tourism communicators to portray an authentic tourism experience. It will examine examples of tourist locations that are appropriated and mediated into literary- based storytelling by travel writers in order to attract visitors. These case studies include the adoption of Tolkien in New Zealand and Shakespeare in Italy. The article also considers how these inter-media adaptations transform and extend the shelf-life of tourism communication campaigns. Biographical note: Susan Sullivan is a PhD candidate at the University of Queensland. She has worked in tourism public relations for more than 30 years in senior public relations roles at Hamilton Island and Mantra Group and in a consultancy role for tourism operators including Aspen Skiing Company, Sunsail, Royal Pines Resort, Lake Crackenback Resort & Spa and Ocean Blue Oman, among others. For the past 16 years, Susan has worked in parallel to her professional career as a sessional academic at Griffith University, Bond University and most recently the University of Queensland.

    Artical Name : Has Rouhani Started Preparing for the Presidential Elections? Artical Subject : Has Rouhani Started Preparing for the Presidential Elections? Publish Date: 20/11/2016 Auther Name: Future for Advanced Research and Studies Subject : Iranian President Hassan Rouhani is exerting unremitting efforts in order to boost his power to win the presidential elections set to take place on May 17th, 2017.He aims to renew his presidential mandate for another four years. In this context, Rouhani seeks to increase his popularity once again among the youth and middle class, which were the main demographics voting in the presidential elections of June 2013. These voting blocs enabled him to beat four conservative fundamentalist candidates in the first round of elections. However, this class heatedly criticized him after failing to keep most of his promises from the electoral campaign in 2013.However, these efforts are still in their early stages and may face gradually increasing challenges with the presidential elections drawing near, especially after the map of potential presidential candidates revealed that the capability of the conservative fundamentalists to unite their lines behind one candidate to compete with Rouhani became clear.Undoubtedly, the Republican candidate Donald Trump¶s win in the U.S. presidential elections may present another variable which will have a role in determining Rouhani¶s opportunities in renewing his mandate of presidency. In light of Trump¶s interest in the nuclear deal between Iran and the P5+1 and Iran¶s support for terrorism, its presence in Syria, and its stance on the war against the Islamic State (ISIS), the US¶s relationship with Iran¶s president may shift.Several Justifications:It has become evident that President Rouhani is attempting to alter his political tone towards his main supporters.

Many students were expelled from university for membership in non-Islamic groups. In recent years the number of students whom organizations under the supervision and control of the Iranian regime has banned or “starred” from education has increased dramatically. The Right to Education Report aims to raise awareness by providing comprehensive reporting on cases of student rights violations and any other form of education deprivation in Iran throughout the last three decades. We believe that all Iranians-regardless of their gender and personal, political and religious beliefs-deserve the right to education.
