PetersNet: John Paul II, We Need An Ethical Code For Tourism Tourism increasingly influences the lives of persons and nations, and the modern means of communication facilitate the movement of millions of travellers in search of rest, contact with nature or deeper knowledge of other peoples' culture. In keeping with the United Nations' decision to proclaim the year 2001 as the "International Year for Dialogue between Civilizations", the theme chosen by the World Tourism Organization for the World Day this year is an invitation to reflect upon the contribution that tourism can make to dialogue between civilizations. A sound ethic of tourism influences the way tourists behave, fosters in them a spirit of solidarity, encourages them to make demands not only on themselves but also on those who organize their trip, and asks them to be agents of dialogue between cultures in order to build up a civilization of love and peace. www.petersnet.net /browse/3680.htm

Baltic countries - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In the 18th and 19th centuries, the Baltic provinces (Curonia, Livonia, Estonia and Ingria) and Lithuania in the 19th century, albeit with names and borders different from the present-day countries, were part of the Russian Empire. The histories of today's Baltic countries took a first "common turn" in the 13th century when Christianity and feudalism were effectively introduced to the region by the invasion of the crusaders from the west (German Sword Brethren, Denmark) and the conversion of Lithuania's rulers from Paganism to Christianity. The three Baltic nations re-declared their independence between 1990 and 1991, and their independence was recognized by the Soviet Union on September 6, 1991. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Tourism_in_the_Baltics   (1378 words)

Consulate of the Republic of Poland in Kidderminster, UK All Saints' Day is observed throughout Poland [on] Wednesday [1st November], with families meeting at the graves of their deceased relatives, officials laying wreaths at tombs of historic figures and clergymen celebrating masses. Now, two centuries after his birth, Poland is beginning to take its rightful place as one of the larger nations in the modern democratic Europe and at last it is possible to see Mickiewicz as a poet rather than a myth. Poland is a country which sporadically hits the headlines of the Anglo-Saxon world. polcon.tripod.com /consul.html   (1569 words)

Rediff On The NeT Travel: A travel feature on China. As with states in larger nations, China is divided into many provinces on a geographic and administrative basis. It would be a tremendous mistake to try and equate a journey into China with any sojourn to Europe or the United States. One could enter through the Xinjiang province in northwest China from either Pakistan (the Karakoram highway, which is out-of-bounds for Indians) or from Kazhakastan and take the train route from Alma Ata to Urumqi. www.rediff.com /travel/dec/24chin.htm   (523 words)

Mail & Guardian Online: Asians work harder than just about anyone else on Earth, but their societies and economies are being transformed as many nations shift to a five-day working week and citizens discover the weekend. Malaysia is one of the most recent converts, excusing its one million civil servants from their Saturday-morning shift since July, in a move the government said would bolster family bonds and promote domestic tourism. Song said that the drive to create a five-day working week is also aimed at addressing the problem of ageing populations in Asia's richer nations, by making life more family friendly. mg.co.za /articlePage.aspx?articleid=252065&area=/insight/...   (847 words)

New Regional Network of the South is Born Safari Travels also talks about the country as a ”hunting paradise.” ”Because of its climate, topography and size, Argentina permits hunting of the most varied species year round,” says the agency, promising that the hunter's expectations will be surpassed by the number of prey for hunting each day of the trip. Officials representing Argentina's wildlife agencies and representatives of environmental organisations alike recognise that this country has a long tradition of sports hunting, but they point out that after the economic crisis of 2002, the devaluation of the Argentine peso made the country much more attractive to foreign visitors. The rise in hunters coming from the United States and Europe is evident in the data gathered by the Aeronautical Police, which tracks entry of weapons into Argentina carried by people travelling by plane. insidecostarica.com /special_reports/2005-08/argentina_hunting_out_of_control.htm   (910 words)
