		Tourist Season Review: Tourist Season continues Hiaasen's passion for the environment and particularly southern Florida as well as dim-witted criminals however Tourist Season isn't as fast paced as Hiaasen's masterpieces such as Sick Puppy, Skinny Dip, Lucky You, Stormy Weather, Native Tongue, Strip Tease and Hoot.
		Hiaasen's first novel Tourist Season lacks that but is a worthwhile read just not in the same league as most of his later work.
		In Tourist Season terrorists led by a journalist who can not stand to see the way developers, tourists and retirees have ruined the environment are kidnapping and killing tourists in creative ways in a desperate bid to convince people to leave Florida on mass.

		September, October and November are usually prime tourist months in Cape Town, but this year shops, restaurants and hotels are feeling the squeeze as visitors keep a close watch on their rands.
		Tourists flocked to South Africa after the rand hit a record low of 13.85 to the dollar, 20.08 rand to the pound sterling and 12.47 to the euro in December 2001.

	End Of The Tourist Season
		Groups of small farm-houses were scattered here and there ; but the district was a poor one, and many of the girls were glad to engage themselves at the rate of four or five dollars a year, including clothing, to their richer neighbors.
		It was a small, white, nicely-painted house, and a very cosy and comfortable place, crowded in summer with tourists, but now deserted, for both the travelling and harvesting seasons were over.
		From Molde the tourist or the pedestrian who is a lover of nature will see such a vast and fine field of exploration opening before him, that he will hardly know at what point to be-gin his wanderings.

	Scotland, Tourist Season, Travel, 1848
		Of late years, Scotland, owing to the facilities of steam travelling both by sea and land, has been visited by annually increasing multitudes; and it is but reasonable to suppose that the political circumstances of the present period will very greatly augment the number of pilgrims to her lochs and mountains.
		For this reason, the travelling public—and who in these days is not a traveller?—is very greatly interested in a question now pending before the Courts of Law in Scotland.
		When first mooted last year it excited considerable surprise, if not indignation, not only among tourists, but among the public of all classes—especially in England, where the right of way is jealously guarded by the people, and seldom interfered with by the proprietors of land.

		For development to proceed, separate approval is needed from Greece's development ministry and national tourist board before screening by archaeological, forestry and environmental authorities and applications for a host of other licences and permits.
		It is not uncommon for a 200-acre site to have 300 owners, some of whom may be involved in complicated family legal tussles over ownership, while others simply do not want to sell or demand high prices once they discover a development is planned.

	About Puerto Rico . . . Tourist season
		As is the case in most if not all tourist-oriented environments, the highest rates prevail during the tourist season for most services, including air travel and hotel services.
		There are no appreciable differences between what a tourist may expect to enjoy in Puerto Rico during the tourist season and during the off-season months.
		The main difference is centered around the fact that many visitors to Puerto Rico do so to get away from the cold weather prevailing in their home states and, therefore, prefer the cold months of Fall and Winter for their travels.

		At the beginning of the programme 70 per cent of visitors came to Ireland during the off-peak season and the aim is to increase this figure to 75 per cent by 1999.
		The mid-term target set out in the programme is for 72 per cent of visitors to arrive outside the peak period and I am happy to say that this target was reached during 1996.
		Another initiative to help address the seasonality issue is the reinvigorated St. Patrick's festival in Dublin which I am convinced has the potential to become a major attraction in the shoulder period.

		Significant numbers of tourists, many from Britain, arrived earlier than usual and seemed to be a sign of a return to the days when British tourists made up the majority of visitors to this country.
		However as the season has progressed the earlier indications have not held up and there seems to be a serious decline right across the various sectors of the industry with hoteliers, bed and breakfast operators and hostels all reporting a disappointing season so far.
		Continental European numbers are also seen to have fallen, particularly in July, and the World Cup is thought to have a bearing on this as travelers often postpone their holidays or cancel altogether in World Cup years.
