  • Walking Tour of Harrisburg Is Both Enjoyable and Rewarding
    “Creating a Sense of Place and a Healthy Community” Walking Tour Hosted by the City of Harrisburg Department of Building and Housing Development in cooperation with the Department of Parks and Recreation Stephen R. Reed, Mayor - Harrisburg City Council Welcome to Harrisburg! With pleasure, we are delighted to welcome you to Pennsylvania’s Capital City of Harrisburg and City Island. We are honored to serve as your host community and hope that your unique walking tour of Harrisburg is both enjoyable and rewarding. From Native American occupation dating back nearly 10,000 years to its earliest days as a colonial outpost, the Union Army’s largest training camp during the Civil War, and a major industrial power into the mid-Twentieth Century, or continuing today as the Heart of Pennsylvania’s focal point for commerce, government, the arts and entertainment, Harrisburg has been in the forefront of this state’s and nation’s growth for many centuries. Today, Harrisburg is considered a national role model for successful urban revitalization, with more than $2 billion in new investment realized during the current era. Our gratitude is extended to each of you for participating in today’s tour. Proper nutrition is essential to performing at one’s full capability, and the absence of proper diets for many Americans has led to a host of health and other physical problems that can severely affect one’s quality of life. Your good efforts prove that you understand these critical issues, and are willing to do something about it. For this, you have our appreciation and regard.

  • Ecotourism Production Process: Best Practices for Developing Ecotourism in the Pacific Northwest
    Ecotourism Production Process: Best Practices for Developing Ecotourism in the Pacific Northwest Michael Anthony Montanari A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Marine Affairs University of Washington 2013 Committee: Marc L. Miller Dorothy Paun Program Authorized to Offer Degree: School of Marine and Environmental Affairs ©Copyright 2013 Michael Anthony Montanari University of Washington Abstract Ecotourism Production Process: Best Practices for Developing Ecotourism in the Pacific Northwest Michael Anthony Montanari Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Marc L. Miller School of Marine and Environmental Affairs The field of marine and environmental affairs is multi-disciplinary connecting the complexities of science, law, and policy and incorporating the framework of Human Dimensions of Global Change in the Marine (and Terrestrial) Environment. Ecotourism focuses on sustainability and is causally affected by the driving forces in global change. The tourism industry is increasingly recognized as an enormously potent force for sustainable development and positive change in the environment. Today, people travel more than ever. In recent years, elements of the travel market have begun to insist that their travel not jeopardize the quality of the natural environment and their travel not jeopardize the quality of life for the visited communities. Ecotourism is examined in connection with the sociological model of tourism that includes brokers, locals, and tourists and this model is expanded to include nature and technologies. Ecotourism definitions incorporate principles of sustainable tourism and the triple bottom line is the metric for measuring ecotourism success. Ecotourism is an experience and an industry jointly produced by Broker-Local-Tourist dynamics.
