  • Civil Society and Law Enforcement by Jon Fox
    Sex Laws in Thailand Part 3: Civil Society and Law Enforcement by Jon Fox 25 January 2010 This article is the final installment in the Thailand Law Forum’s series on Sex Laws in Thailand. It looks at challenges to protecting children and the role of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and international law enforcement in the fight against sexual crimes in Thailand. The first article explained the long reach of U.S. law, encompassing both U.S. citizens, and in certain circumstances, non-U.S. citizens. The second installment drew out the “consumption” habits and patterns of Thailand’s sex industry and the legal and cultural milieu in which prostitution takes place in Thailand. Sex Laws in Thailand Part 1: US Laws Abroad: The Long Arm of Uncle Sam Sex Laws in Thailand Part 2: Laws Regulating Commercial Sex and Entertainment Places Thailand stands on the front lines of the battle against sexual exploitation in Southeast Asia. Thai authorities have successfully adopted a two pronged approachForum to sexual crimes: establishing a strict legal framework tackling various elements of sex crimes (trafficking, prostitution, sex with minors to name but a few); and cooperating with local communities and civil society groups to identify and protect victims. However, despite the progress made by the Thai authorities, there is much room for improvement,Law particularly in terms of enforcement and prosecution. Child sexual exploitation provides a particularly clear view into wider trends of sex crimes taking place in Thailand today. From many Southeast Asian countries and Thailand‟s rural areas, young boys and girls are taken to large Thai cities to be sexually exploited.

  • Contribution to the UNHCHR Report on Children Living And/Or Working
    ECPAT International Contribution to the UNHCHR Report on Children living and/or working on the street and the links to sexual exploitation PRODUCED BY ECPAT International End Child Prostitution, Child Pornography and Trafficking of children for sexual purposes September 2011 1 ECPAT International Introduction Securing daily basic needs and protection from the hostilities and violence on the street is a perpetual fight, and it often means enduring sexual abuse and exploitation. The spectre of neglect evidenced by the alarmingly high number of children surviving on the street across the world runs counter to the principles enshrined in the CRC, which provide for the protection of children's overall well being, human dignity and mental and physical integrity. Children living and working on the streets are part of the most excluded and at-risk persons in the world, and living on the streets deprive them of a safe environment, comfort and education. The commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) is defined by the ILO Convention 182 as one of the worst forms of child labour and means the sexual abuse of a child in exchange of money or other form of remuneration. This includes child prostitution, pornography, sex tourism and trafficking for sexual purposes. It is commonly accepted that a child cannot consent freely to have sexual intercourse with an adult, including children surviving on the street. Therefore, in such cases, they should be considered victims and afforded the necessary protection. Sexual exploitation on the street takes place, by definition, in public areas, like roads, beaches, markets or parks; usually the sex offender approaches the young victim in order to have a sexual relationship.

Kenneth Parejko, Ph.D. The Graduate College University of Wisconsin-Stout January, 2001 2 The Graduate College University of Wisconsin-Stout Menomonie, WI 54751 ABSTRACT Tungchawal Kitsada (Writer) (Last Name) (First) Sustainable Ecotourism in the Village of Khiriwong and the Khao Luang National Park, Thailand (Title) Hospitality and Tourism Leland L. Nicholls, Ph.D. January, 2001 216 (Graduate Major) (Research Advisor) (Month/Year) (No. of Pages) American Psychological Association (APA) Publication Manual (Name of Style Manual Used in this study) Sustainable ecotourism is often considered to be effective for supporting the local communities’ economy and promoting the conservation of protected areas in developing countries. By establishing economic benefits for impoverished villagers or their communities, sustainable ecotourism is utilized to encourage local guardianship of natural resources. To assess sustainable ecotourism’s impact on the revenue of local residents in the Village of Khiriwong and the Khao Luang National Park, and its effects on the environmental preservation of the Khao Luang National Park in Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, Thailand, the researcher randomly conducted surveys of the visitors’ attitudes about rewarding experiences during their village and park visits. Biologists and Ecologists were interviewed about sustainable ecotourism’s role in supporting environmental preservation in the village and national park.

    Guy Harvey RumFish Grill Joins the Team at Amalie Arena Restaurant opens branded concession stand at arena in November TAMPA, Fla. (November 20, 2014) – Guy Harvey RumFish Grill recently opened a branded concession area at the Amalie Arena, formerly the Tampa Bay Times Forum, home to the NHL’s Tampa Bay Lightning and the Arena Football League’s Tampa Bay Storm. The St. Pete Beach restaurant has a full-service concession area serving spicy firecracker shrimp, blue crab bisque, BBQ short rib flatbread, blackened fish sandwich and other popular menu items. The RumFish Grill also has a full-bar area across the aisle where thirsty fans can enjoy the signature beach-themed Blue Marlin, other mixed drinks and multiple beers on tap including Corona Light and Beach Blonde Ale from 3 Daughters Brewing, a fast-growing, St. Pete-based craft brewery known for their innovative brews for beer lovers. Although the new concession space does not have the St. Pete Beach restaurant’s famous fish tanks, it will be heavily themed and decorated with aquatic murals, marlin mounts, beach photography and large television monitors. “We’re very happy with the success of the RumFish Grill at Guy Harvey Outpost on St. Pete Beach and wanted to share it with an audience across the bridge,” said Keith Overton, president of TradeWinds Island Resorts. “We look forward to bringing the flavors of the beach to the patrons at Amalie Arena.” As part of the sponsorship with Amalie Arena and the Tampa Bay Lightning, RumFish Grill will also host food samplings in select areas such as the Chase Club, have a representative at all home games to promote TradeWinds, and participate in promotions during the games and on the post-game radio show and more.

Touristic disaster refers to the application of tourism modes of staging, visualization, and discourse to reenchant the money making deterrents (stigma) of “destruction” and “ruin” and re-signify disaster to indicate “recovery” and “rebirth.” This paper uses empirical examples from New Orleans to examine the transition from “disaster tourism” to “recovery tourism” in tourism framings of post-Katrina rebuilding. The concept of touristic disaster views disaster-deva- stated neighborhoods as sites and arenas of contestation in which opposing groups and interests battle to control representations of urban space. The paper illustrates the motivations, processes, and paradoxical impacts of the commodification and global representation of “disaster” and “recovery” and provides insights into the ways in which people can use spectacle to contest marginalization. 1.

  • Ecotourism Outlook 2019 Prepared for the 2019 Outlook Marketing Forum
    Ecotourism Outlook 2019 Prepared for the 2019 Outlook Marketing Forum Prepared by: Qwynne Lackey, Leah Joyner & Dr. Kelly Bricker, Professor University of Utah Ecotourism and Green Economy What is Ecotourism? Ecotourism is a subsector of the sustainable tourism industry that emphasizes social, environmental, and economic sustainability. When implemented properly, ecotourism exemplifies the benefits of responsible tourism development and management. TIES announced that it had updated its definition of ecotourism in 2015. This revised definition is more inclusive, highlights interpretation as a pillar of ecotourism, and is less ambiguous than the version adopted 25 years prior. In 2018, no new alterations were made to this highly cited definition which describes ecotourism as: “Responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment, sustains the well-being of the local people and involves interpretation and education.”1 This definition clearly outlines the key components of ecotourism: conservation, communities, and sustainable travel. Ecotourism represents a set of principles that have been successfully implemented in various communities and supported by extensive industry practice and academic research. Twenty-eight years since TIES was started, it is important to re-visit three principles found in TIES literature – that ecotourism: • is NON-CONSUMPTIVE / NON-EXTRACTIVE • creates an ecological CONSCIENCE • holds ECO-CENTRIC values and ethics in relation to nature TIES considers non-consumptive and non-extractive use of resources for and by tourists and minimized impacts to the environment and people as major characteristics of authentic ecotourism. What are the Principles of Ecotourism? Since 1990, when TIES framework for ecotourism principles was established, we have learned more about the tourism industry through scientific and design-related research and are also better informed about environmental degradation and impacts on local cultures and non-human species.

  • Hypermobile Travellers
    6. HYPERMOBILE TRAVELLERS Stefan Gössling, Jean-Paul Ceron, Ghislain Dubois, Michael C. Hall [a]Introduction The contribution of aviation to climate change is, with a global share of just 2 per cent of emissions of CO 2 (see chapter 2, this volume), often regarded as negligible. This perspective ignores, however, the current and expected growth in air traffic, as well as its socio-cultural drivers. Aviation is a rapidly growing sector, with annual passenger growth forecasts of 4.9 per cent in the coming 20 years (Airbus 2008) In a carbon-constrained world with the ambition to reduce absolute levels of greenhouse gas emissions and limited options to technically achieve these (see chapter 13, this volume), the growth in air traveller numbers thus indicates an emerging conflict (see also chapter 4, this volume) Moreover, it becomes increasingly clear that aviation is an activity in which comparably few people participate. With regard to international aviation, it can be estimated that only about 2-3 per cent of the world’s population fly in between any two countries over one consecutive year (Peeters et al 2006), indicating that participation in air travel is highly unequally distributed on a global scale. The vast majority of air travellers currently originate from industrialized countries, even though there are some recent trends, particularly in China and India, showing rapid growth in air travel (cf. UNWTO 2007) There is also evidence that air travel is unevenly distributed within nations, particularly those with already high levels of individual mobility. In industrialized countries there is evidence of a minority of highly mobile individuals, who account for a large share of the overall kilometres travelled, especially by air.

  • Nude in Mexico
    Feb. 1, 2004---- RIVIERA MAYA, MEXICO -- The road is full of questions that inevitably lead to the beauty of travel. This is how I find myself leaning on a bar at the Moonlight disco at the Hidden Beach Resort-Au Naturel Club, the only upscale and not clothing- optional nudist resort in Mexico. A naked woman walks up to me and asks, "Is this your first naked experience?" Gee, how can she tell? I am standing in a corner of the bar that is under a shadow of doubt. About 20 naked couples have finished doing a limbo dance on a cool night along the Caribbean Sea. With the exception of a gentleman from Mexico, I am the only single guy in the disco. At this point, no one knows I am a journalist, but I am the only person in the room still wearing a bathrobe. It is too cold to be bold. Besides, I am so shy, I do not limbo with my clothes on. I barely ever go to clothed cocktail parties. My chipper friends are also mastering "The Macarena." Talk about your Polaroid moments. Cameras are not allowed at Hidden Beach. One dude is playing pool naked. Another guy looks like Jeff "Curb Your Enthusiasm" Garlin. His wife is applying for a job at Hidden Beach. He smiles and takes off his robe to join in a group dance to Marcia Griffith's "Electric Boogie." Nude tourists are more open and they bond faster. I have another shot of tequila. I am here for you. The nude recreation industry is news.
