The number of persons on the pool deck and in the pool/spa must be limited to ensure six feet of social distancing is always maintained. Continued on page 3 Sticks or Carrots? Many nudist/naturist websites have a team of moderators to ensure the content complies with the site rules. Naturally, the Naktiv site has it's own rules too. When somebody posts something which is "non-compliant", there can be cries of "off with his head!" (it's usually a guy posting something inappropriate), or "that must be deleted!". These yells come from the moderators, and also from the site users too. The problem with removing the user account, is that you have now lost the opportunity to educate that user, other people, the public, about nudity. There is always the "final solution" to delete the user account, of course, but unless the person is being especially obnoxious, or divisive, or constantly posting sexual material (for instance), then I think the more positive approach is to point out what is inappropriate and permit the user the opportunity to adapt their behavior. Faceache is renowned for it's puritan attitudes, whereby FB finds it acceptable to post decapita- tion videos, but constantly censors nudity because it can't differentiate between nudity and sex. According to FB. moderators the one is essentially a synonym for the other. Naktiv is different. The Naktiv site Mission Statement makes it clear that the site is here to promote naked activities, to encourage people to not be ashamed of their nudity, or anyone else's, to educate society about the naked human body. We can't educate people by hitting them over the head. There is a story about a boy being taught Latin at school. Every time he got the grammar wrong he'd be wrapped over the knuckles with a switch stick by the teacher.

  • Destination Jordan So It’S Official
    © Lonely Planet Publications 19 Destination Jordan So it’s official. Petra, jewel in the crown of Jordan’s antiquities, has been declared by popular ballot as one of the ‘new’ Seven Wonders of the World. Jordan’s authorities, together with tour operators, hoteliers and even the Bedouin of Petra themselves, have been quick to understand the commercial value of this marketing coup, and prices have risen accord- ingly. The magnificent rock-hewn city of the Nabataeans hardly needed further billing. Since Johann Ludwig Burckhardt rediscovered it in the 19th century, it has been a favourite destination for Europeans – and at sunset on a winter’s day, when the rose-pink city catches alight, it’s easy to see why it has charmed a new generation of visitors. FAST FACTS Not to be outdone by Petra’s success, Wadi Rum – that epic landscape Population: 6.2 million of TE Lawrence and David Lean’s Lawrence of Arabia – is a contender as Population growth rate: one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.

  • Successful Tourism at Heritage Places
    Successful Tourism at Heritage Places A GUIDE FOR TOURISM OPERATORS HERITAGE MANAGERS AND COMMUNITIES this Foreword The Australian Heritage Commission (AHC) and the Department of Industry, Science and Resources, with the assistance of the Cooperative Research Centre for Sustainable Tourism (CRC) have over several years explored issues of common concern about the responsible use of Australia’s heritage places for tourism. We have aimed to move beyond general notions of the incompatibility of tourism and heritage conservation toward emphasising the potential contributions that tourism can make. Discussions over the last few years have demonstrated that impacts can often be managed effectively. There is much common ground and great potential for benefits all round. In this guide we have provided information to help people more clearly under- stand the issues involved and have developed some practical pointers for those aiming for successful and responsible tourism at heritage places. We hope this guide is a useful springboard for you. Aboriginal Tourism Australia i Developing this guide In 1998, the Australian Heritage Commission and the Department of Industry, Science and Resources identified the need to develop guidelines for tourism where heritage places are involved. This followed recognition that there needed to be a stronger bridge between tourism industry codes of practice and heritage conservation principles. A steering committee was established (see Acknowledgments) and the National Centre for Tourism was employed to produce a draft document in 1999. This final document has resulted from submissions from tourism operators, heritage managers and community groups across Australia. The document incorporates key elements of international and national tourism research, strategies, guidelines and codes of practice (see Section 7).
