BOTSWANA This is without doubt the ‘safari purists’ top destination in Africa. Stretching from the Zambezi through the Okavango Delta and then into the Kalahari Desert, the diversity of wildlife, safari experience and accommodation is superlative, but it does come at a cost.

    Vocation Alpine, by Armand Charlet. 206 pages, with 13 illustra­ tions and a preface by Dr. Azéma. Neuchâtel and Paris: Victor Attinger, 1949. Price, 450 francs. Armand Charlet will go down in mountaineering history as the most brilliant guide the valley of Chamonix has produced—a tem­ peramental and exacting taskmaster who (be it said in the same breath) never spared himself. His ancestors were long established at Argentière; many were guides, among them Jean-Estéril Charlet (Charlet-Straton), who gained fame by his first ascent of the Petit Dru in 1879. Much of the talk that Armand heard as a boy he now recalls, delightfully, in early sections of the book. His own father, though not a guide, was a true lover of mountains; he encouraged his sons to climb and often accompanied them. Youthful adventures in the region adjacent to the Col de Balme and the Aiguilles Rouges were followed by greater expeditions. An ascent of the Tour Noir on a fine day in 1911 was a revelation to Armand: he saw the Matterhorn—while Edward Whymper lay dying in Chamonix. Armand was then twelve years old. Not many years later, Armand and his brother Georges were ski cham­ pions of the valley; and in 1919 they made their debuts as pro­ fessional guides (aspirants). But for Armand, who spent two win­ ters with Alpine troops in the Briançon area, the first 4000-m. peak was not (curiously enough) a summit of the Mont Blanc chain, but the Barre des Ecrins. Although Charlet, like other top-flight guides, made his name on rock, it is not difficult to see that the Aiguille Verte was his own mountain.

They go there for tourism, but sometimes for professional obligations as well. Due to that, the resort is lively throughout the year. To be able to admire Mont Blanc, the culminating point of Europe, with 4,810.45 meters, you’ll have the choice of many means of transportation. BY CAR Going by car to leave for vacation is common since we normally don’t travel alone and this turns out to be cheaper. Chamonix is directly serviced by the White Highway (A40). On the other hand, you can get to the city by Route Nationale 205. Also known as the “white road”, it is a road that has become rather pleasant thanks to its surroundings. Route Nationale R506 connects Chamonix to Switzerland that is just 15km away. If you are coming from Italy, you must pass through the Mont-Blanc tunnel, which is often really full, because the number of vehicles that can go through at once is limited. Take your time because the wait is definitely worth it. It lets you into the Aosta Valley and Courmayeur.

  • History of North Dakota Chapter 4
    54 History of North Dakota CHAPTER 4 Indian, Métis, and White in the Red River Valley THE RED RIVER COUNTRY was part of a remote region at the center of the North American continent. West of the river was a vast grassland, the Northern Great Plains, supporting immense herds of buffalo; north of the prairies, stretching northwest of Hudson Bay, lay the fur forest, producing fine peltries. Three waterways led into the area: The Hudson Bay–Hayes River-Lake Winnipeg route; the St. Lawrence–Ottawa–Great Lakes–Lake of the Woods route; and the Mississippi–Missouri route. These connected it with the outside world, with centers of population and commerce in the eastern United States and western Europe. Outsiders came by way of the Bay and the Great Lakes to exploit the fur forests; they came by way of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers to exploit the buffalo plains. Their aim was to make the region a colonial hinterland of some outside center of trade. As they struggled for supremacy, they made the Indian dependent upon their trade goods; they debauched The Indian, Métis, and White in the Red River Valley 55 him with liquor; they married Indian women and produced a new race of mixed blood, the métis; and they established an agricultural settlement, the Selkirk colony, on the Red River of the North. For many years the fine peltries of the fur forest went to English and European markets. Eventually, the Hudson's Bay Company (coming from England by way of the Bay) beat out the North West Company (coming from Montreal by way of the Great Lakes).

  • The Role of the Tourist Guide In
    Branislav Rabotić, Ph.D. [email protected] TOURIST GUIDES IN CONTEMPORARY TOURISM (International conference on tourism and environment Sarajevo, March, 4 - 5, 2010) Abstract Tourist guiding has an important and multifaceted role in contemporary tourism. A safe and quality experience offered by a guided tour involves the guide, tourists and the environment, and is fulfilled when all the three components interact at the same point in space and time. The role of guides in the tourism system distinguishes itself by its potential to manage and orchestrate tourist experiences, enhance destination image and implement the goals of responsible tourism. What guides present and interpret takes effect on the way in which their customers experience a place or attraction, understand local culture, engage in local activities and how they behave on the spot. As front-line professionals, information-givers and interpreters, the guides act as destination’s representatives and „ambassadors” in the eyes of tourists. Tourist guiding is one of the important factors of successful presentation of destinations in contemporary tourism, affecting the resulting economic and social benefits. Key words: Tourist guides, Guided tour, Tourist Experience, Mediation, Interpretation. 1. INTRODUCTION Historically, tourist guiding is one of the oldest human activities. Guides existed even two and a half millennia ago, but along with the beginning of modern mass tourism they have become an important factor of the travel industry ever since. Today, it is difficult to perceive the organized tourism without the service of guides, both tour managers/tour leaders (who accompany the group during the travel) and tourist guides (who welcome the group at the destination).
