We had made reservation for about a dozen island-hopping flights on Oct. 14th, but unfortunately the next day Palau Micronesia Airways was not able to issue the tickets, as the flight from Palau to Darwin had suddenly been suspended. With some Good Luck, we could thereafter find a cheap ticket from Montreal to Melbourne directly. On Oct. 27th, 2004 we got picked up at 05:30 h in the morning, to fly to Melbourne via Los Angeles. Already in Montreal, we went through US customs, after we had received the boarding-passes for our three flights end- destination Melbourne. We didn't get bored during the 11 hours we had to wait in Los Angeles for our connection flight. As US airports don't have transit areas, we could walk freely around the big building and even leave it. When making inquiries about flights to Micronesia at the desk of Continental Airways, we got to talk to a very nice lady. She had been there herself and she spontaneously called in some other staff that came from Guam and Samoa. We stood there, talking for more than an hour and later had some light snacks as we had had before. On the 14 hours non-stop flight to Syndey, United Airlines crossed the dateline and so we lost one precious holiday..

  • C. Developing Trail Systems
    C. DEVELOPING TRAIL SYSTEMS Trails are more than simply lines on a map, a form of transportation or route to destinations. Trails are an experience. Engaging trails systems provide a sense of unique place, highlight natural topography and attract outdoor-based tourism. A vast and varied experience hooks trails users and leaves them wanting to return for more exploration. This tool kit offers suggestions for building destination-worthy trail systems. Best Management Practices For Developing Trail Systems Sustainability Simplified. Sustainable trails provide an intended experience in a steady state with minimal undesired impacts. Sustainability does not have to mean “sanitizing” or “dumbing- down” trails… yet, expect to hear that concern. Well-designed trail systems need not come at the detriment of natural resources. Trails can actually help protect resources by fostering appreciation for the great outdoors and by managing users Greenbelt Trail in Costilla County (courtesy of Root to minimize impacts while maximizing fun.

  • Henry Thoreau and the Origins of the American Tourist Industry
    HENRY THOREAU AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF 1 OUR AMERICAN TOURIST INDUSTRY “The vagabond, when rich, is called a tourist.” — Paul Richard, French diplomat, AU JAPON 226 BCE The island of Rhodes was hit by a strong earthquake, and the Colossus of Rhodes, erected a couple of generations earlier, snapped at its weakest point, the knee. Although the Rhodians would immediately be contacted by their friend Ptolemy III Eurgetes of Egypt with an offer to pay everything it would require to restore this bronze image of Helios the sun god, when the Rhodians consulted an oracle, the oracle forbade any such re-erection. They therefore declined their friend’s kind offer and, for almost the next millennium, the statue would be lying in ruins. Tourists would still be able to visit the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, despite the fact that this particular wonder lay in ruins. According to Pliny the Elder, few of these tourists could “make their arms meet round the thumb.” 1. See Jeremy Black’s THE BRITISH AND THE GRAND TOUR (London: Croom Helm, 1985) and Dona Brown’s INVENTING NEW ENGLAND: REGIONAL TOURISM IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY (Washington DC: Smithsonian Institution Press, 1995).
