what cultural impact has tourism had on Ireland? How does tourism effect the natural environment? what are the pros and cons of tourism in Ireland?
please answer ASAP!

Okay this sounds like Geography homework, am I right? This is probably not the best place to get answers as people could write anything on here! If I were you I would use my Geography textbook to answer these questions, that’s probably the point, they want you to read through your Geography! Pardon me if I’ve got the wrong end of the stick!

Hey, we’re full of immigrants from all over and have TV, too – it’s not like tourists are anything special, like the white gods dropping in and turning our culture upside-down

just kidding

where should i go in europe for a cultural tourism?

admin — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 07:50:05 +0000

i am planning for a euro trip in july. and am willing to visit around 12 european countries in 21 – 24 days.

I am willing to start in italy and give it 3 to 4 days. then move to slovenia for 1 day, austria for 2 days, czech for 2 days, germany for 3 days, netherlands for one night … belguim and lux for 2 days.
then i will fly to switzerland stay there for 2 to 3 days. and then to south france for 3 days, spain (barcelona and madrid) 3 days and then lisbon for 2 days.

its still a plan and it could change in the next few days. and if i will change anything i will only change the staying time in each.

Anyway, the point is i am not that fan of museums, towers and parks. i would love to see the nobility of europe in there and the people’s culture . so where do you suggest to head in every country.. like what cities?.. where i can see nobility and cultural things?? please help.

Considering the short amount of time you will be spending in these 12 countries, you will be lucky if you are able to spend any time doing anything. One day in Slovenia? Will you just be passing through on a bus or what? I spent 5 days in Paris once, 9 days there another time, a week in Vienna, a week in Greece, one day in London. I can tell you that one day in London was nothing.

Also, there is not much nobility left in Europe, so unless you have an appointment with one of them, the chances are zero that you will get anywhere near any nobility.

I suggest that you make a less ambitious program where you can do fewer countries in those three weeks.

What is tourism concern? What other social and cultural problems are caused by tourists?

admin — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 07:27:56 +0000

what are some social and cultural problems that are associated with an increase in tourism? i need atleast 1 example of a country too

A person whom visits this country on a visa ( UK) for a holiday and fails to leave when the time is up, no one country is responsible for their citizens failing to go home.
There is the person/people whom may be at risk if they go home through problems in their own home country and would be in danger if they went back

What are the socio-cultural impacts on medical tourism in Thailand?

The title says it all, i just need information, just articles are fine. anything plz

I don’t think there are any cultural impacts on MT – do you mean OF MT ? – Even that, not much that I can see – sometimes you will see some sheik walking through the hospital followed by veiled ladies – but I guess it adds ever so slightly to an already booming tourist industry.

How can eco-tourism work in a capitalist society where more tourists = more money?

admin — Sun, 12 Dec 2010 07:38:49 +0000

Just thinking if the aim of tourism is to make money then surely all "alternative" forms of tourism whether its "eco" "cultural" or whatever are still just money making ventures that will aim to make profits and therefore grow irrespective of well meaning regulations. This will just push the eco-tourist to constantly new destinations as the prev one becomes spoilt leaving a wake of disaster. At least with big beach resorts eg Benidorm, Malaga, the infrastructure is already there and the tourist can be kept contained?

Eco-tourisim only works in communist or socialist countries. In capitalist countries, you have to pay for your trip and they treat you like just another tourist. And, what’s the point of going abroad if you’re just another tourist carted around in buses surrounded by sweaty mindless oafs from Kettering and Coventry in their cloth caps and their cardigans and their transistor radios and their Sunday Mirrors, complaining about the tea – "Oh they don’t make it properly here, do they, not like at home" – and stopping at Majorcan bodegas selling fish and chips and Watney’s Red Barrel and calamares and two veg and sitting in their cotton frocks squirting Timothy White’s suncream all over their puffy raw swollen purulent flesh ‘cos they "overdid it on the first day." And being herded into endless Hotel Miramars and Bellvueses and Continentales with their modern international luxury roomettes and draught Red Barrel and swimming pools full of fat German businessmen pretending they’re acrobats forming pyramids and frightening the children and barging into queues and if you’re not at your table spot on seven you miss the bowl of Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom soup, the first item on the menu of International Cuisine, and every Thursday night the hotel has a bloody cabaret in the bar, featuring a tiny emaciated dago with nine-inch hips and some bloated fat tart with her hair brylcreemed down and a big a-rse presenting Flamenco for Foreigners. And then some adenoidal typists from Birmingham with flabby white legs and diarrhoea trying to pick up hairy bandy-legged w-o-p waiters called Manuel and once a week there’s an excursion to the local Roman Remains to buy cherryade and melted ice cream and bleeding Watney’s Red Barrel and one evening you visit the so called typical restaurant with local colour and atmosphere and you sit next to a party from Rhyl who keep singing "Torremolinos, torremolinos" and complaining about the food – "It’s so greasy isn’t it?" – and you get cornered by some drunken greengrocer from Luton with an Instamatic camera and Dr. Scholl sandals and last Tuesday’s Daily Express and he drones on and on about how Mr. Smith should be running this country and how many languages Enoch Pow ell can speak and then he throws up over the Cuba Libres. And sending tinted postcards of places they don’t realise they haven’t even visited to "All at number 22, weather wonderful, our room is marked with an ‘X’. Food very greasy but we’ve found a charming little local place hidden away in the back streets where they serve Watney’s Red Barrel and cheese and onion……. crisps and the accordionist plays ‘Maybe it’s because I’m a Londoner’." And spending four days on the tarmac at Luton airport on a five-day package tour with nothing to eat but dried BEA-type sandwiches and you can’t even get a drink of Watney’s Red Barrel because you’re still in England and the bloody bar closes every time you’re thirsty and there’s nowhere to sleep and the kids are crying and vomiting and breaking the plastic ash-trays and they keep telling you it’ll only be another hour although your plane is still in Iceland and has to take some Swedes to Yugoslavia before it can load you up at 3 a.m. in the bloody morning and you sit on the tarmac till six because of "unforeseen difficulties", i.e. the permanent strike of Air Traffic Control in Paris – and nobody can go to the lavatory until you take off at 8, and when you get to Malaga airport everybody’s swallowing "enterovioform" and queuing for the toilets and queuing for the armed customs officers, and queuing for the bloody bus that isn’t there to take you to the hotel that hasn’t yet been finished. And when you finally get to the half-built Algerian ruin called the Hotel del Sol by paying half your holiday money to a licensed bandit in a taxi you find there’s no water in the pool, there’s no water in the taps, there’s no water in the bog and there’s only a bleeding lizard in the bidet. And half the rooms are double booked and you can’t sleep anyway because of the permanent twenty-four-hour drilling of the foundations of the hotel next door – and you’re plagues by appalling apprentice chemists from Ealing pretending to be hippies, and middle-class stockbrokers’ wives busily buying identical holiday villas in suburban development plots just like Esher, in case the Labour government gets in again, and fat American matrons with sloppy-buttocks and Hawaiian-patterned ski pants looking for any mulatto male who can keep it up long enough when they finally let it all flop out. And the Spanish Tourist Board promises you that the raging cholera epidemic is merely a case of mild Spanish tummy, like the previous outbreak of Spanish tummy in 1660 which killed half London and decimated Europe – and meanwhile the bloody Guardia are busy arresting sixteen-year-olds for kissing in the streets and shooting anyone under nineteen who doesn’t like Franco.
