	Tourism - Gurupedia
		Tourism is classically regarded as travelling for recreation, although this definition has been expanded in recent years to include any travel outside of one's normal working or living area, from daytrips to overseas holidays.
		While tourism dates back into history, the terms tourist and tourism were first used as official terms in 1937 by the League of Nations.
		For a century, domestic tourism was the norm, with foreign travel being reserved, as before, for the rich or the culturally curious.

		Tourism Destination Marketing Applications (15 credits) — This module is designed to provide students with an understanding of the implications of the sustainability agenda for marketing resorts, historic towns and rural areas, in the context of government policies for tourism destinations.

		Literature is literally "an acquaintance with letters" as in the first sense given in the Oxford English Dictionary (from the Latin littera meaning "an individual written character (letter)").
		Critics may exclude works from the classification "literature", for example, on the grounds of a poor standard of grammar and syntax, of an unbelievable or disjointed story-line, or of inconsistent or unconvincing characters.
		Some recent philosophy works are argued to merit the title "literature", such as some of the works by Simon Blackburn; but much of it does not, and some areas, such as logic, have become extremely technical to a degree similar as that of mathematics.

	Nobel Lecture - Literature 2000
		Once literature is contrived as the hymn of the nation, the flag of the race, the mouthpiece of a political party or the voice of a class or a group, it can be employed as a mighty and all-engulfing tool of propaganda.
		In order that literature safeguard the reason for its own existence and not become the tool of politics it must return to the voice of the individual, for literature is primarily derived from the feelings of the individual and is the result of feelings.
		Literature is simply man focusing his gaze on his self and while he does a thread of consciousness which sheds light on this self begins to grow.

	Nature Tourism in Vogue
		Tourism, with the revenue it generates, often serves as a good incentive to protect areas of rich biodiversity.
		Tourism operations in protected areas, when carried out without considering the implications on local people (who more often than not, depend on the resources of the PA), have provoked several instances of conflict between local communities on one hand and park authorities and visitors on the other, over the control and use of natural resources.
		It is based on the assumption that nature tourism, far from being detrimental to the area, is in fact capable of substantially benefitting the environment and local communities in various ways — with the revenue it brings, jobs it creates, and awareness it generates.
