What can we do about the threats associated with space tourism and flying cars? Should space tourism and flying cars have strict regulation? Space tourism is getting much closer. It is also foreseeable that flying cars will become a reality this century. Shouldn't we care about environmental and aesthetic concerns regarding this? We should never be too quick to act when it comes to embracing new technology. If we do embrace it too quickly, I envision a world filled with space pollution and eye soars that we can never escape. Imagine going to your favorite nature getaway and having cars flying above you. Imagine environmental air concerns expanding beyond our atmosphere into outer space. Or looking up to the sky and barely being able to see the stars because of all the manmade objects in the air. It's a scary thought. It's easiest to act now before the industry becomes too big and it becomes an overbearing problem. I'd like to hear ideas on what we can do to protect our future from this threat.

Where are the websites that promote tourism in the United States? Many of you might have typed in a name of a foreign place and the first five search results is most probably a website that promotes tourism in that place for example "Visit Sweden" or "Discover Canada" etc. But how come when I typed in the word, "united States", there aren't any websites like those? Such websites are great resources for visitors and people in the US who wants to know more about other states. There are websites for tourism in individual states but there is not a collective one which gives a nice summary of the culture, geography, customs and other travel information in the US. Did you come across any websites that says, "Visit the United States" etc.?

At school we have to do this debating thing project, and my topic is "Tourism in the Antarctic should be banned", and we are negative for that (so we are for tourism in Antartica).

What are some statistics we can say to go against what the other team are most likely to say? And it doesnt have to mean for it to be banned forever, it can be just for 10 years or something so we could say we think it should be banned in 5 years or whatever.

She said I'm just too lazy to get off the coach and go somewhere. Do you see any positive sides in tourism? If not, help me find more arguments against, plz :)

Management Major with marketing minor or tourism minor??? Hi, is doing a management major a good idea at all???? And if it is , is it a good idea to do a marketing minor with it or would a tourism minor be just as good. just not sure which would fit better together or if employers would look at my degree differently or think that i had less skills if i have a tourism minor since alot of people ive talked to think tourism is a useless bludge subject. would tourism help get me into the hospitality management sector?? Which would look better on my degree: marketing minor or tourism minor. i can still do some tourism courses but it can only say 1 'official minor' on the testamur because of number of courses im doing?? some people have also said management major is a complete waste of time. i didnt particularly enjoy management... i actually found it rather boring.. but i want to be a manager so... and i got a high distinction in it so...maybe i should do it coz im good at it.... i dont know sum1 help me aghhhh!! :P

Sexual tourism in Morocco? I just saw these two videos (in French from M6) about sexual tourism in Morocco and how it started to go up after the tsunami. It also mentions how tourism in general is going up by 20% a year!!! Is this discussed a lot in Morocco? Is it on the news a lot? I have heard it mentioned on answers when ppl come and ask sexually motivated questions and everyone replies "Don't come here for sexual tourism." (me included) but I didn't realize how bad it has truly become. They are in French but worth watching I think. They even have some hidden camera clips. What do you think? It made me cry! http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x29wg1_maroc-pedophilie-prostitution-part1 http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x29w3v_maroc-prostitution-pedophilie-part2_politics These might be old (I know some of the stories included in it are old) but it was posted this past summer 2007. Hey Holy! I knew it existed there. I did not realize to what extent it had grown since the tsunami. Besides that, please, don't get me started talking about Arabs that go there for sex with little boys not just "cheap sex" as you put it. Besides this is about how it has increased since the tsunami and how ppl from all over are flocking there. It also talks about the ppl pimping 8 year old boys to old men. This happens all over the world, I realise but this is a dramatic increase and such sad news...yes, some ppl in Morocco choose to do bad things and then there are others that are used and are too young to fight back. The video even shows a guy that had turned in a French man that had over 50 boy victims and then the guy who turned him in showed up dead and they called it a "suicide"....

Child Sex Tourism? Hi, i'm doing a paper for my english research class and i would really appreciate people's opinions about this topic. Let me explain what is child sex tourism is about first. Child sex tourism is a commercial sexual exploitation of children by foreigners. Child sex tourism is not new. For years pedophiles seeking to avoid severe punishment in the United States have taken trips to countries where prostituted children are plentiful and sexual abuse laws are lenient or unenforced or (with the help of a bribe or two) easily circumvented. It is really easy for them to get information and also to arrange for a child. I would like to know: 1. What effects would it have on the children? 2. What would happen to the image of the country? Lastly, any other opinions would be appreciated.. like the moral values of the tourist and do you think this should go on? Also, what are your feelings when you read this statement.
