What are the perceptions about Russia as a tourist destination?

March 22010

Posted in tourist | 6 Comments »

I am writing a dissertation about the perceptions of tourists about Russia as a tourist destination. So your answers are highly valuable to me! Thanks in advance!

Russia is a VERY big and a VERY diverse place. General perceptions is still of a grey and (today) rather crime swept urban environmnet and also the bnotion of 1000s of miles of empty frozen tundra. Both can be true but Russia can be anything depending where you are.
This question is unanswerable. Why don’t you try looking up ordinary visitors and traveller’s blogs and travelogue on the web – there are lots and easily found with a few well chosen keywords. This will give you a far better idea from the biased tour guides or the rubbish spouted by people who have never been. You will also get a better idea than from those who have visited Russia on package tours.

Or of course you could go yourself one day and be surprised.

Tourist missing in Hong Kong: help find Ani Ashekian 1/7

March 12010

Posted in tourist | 25 Comments »

On November 9, 2008, Ani Ashekian left Xian, China on a Dragon Airlines flight to Hong Kong.

On November 10, Ani Ashekian was seen in Chungking Mansions in Tsim Sha Tsui and also Causeway Bay.

And then on November 11, Ani Ashekian disappeared without a trace.

Tourists in Hong Kong simply don’t vanish. Last year, more than 29 million visitors passed through Hong Kong’s borders and this native to Canada was one of them.

But according to the Immigration Department, there is no record of Ani ever having left Hong Kong.

There have been no e-mails or phone calls to friends and family. There has been no activity on her bank accounts. There is no electronic or print paper trail. The pervasive digital traces we all generate in today’s information driven society there are none for Ani Ashekian.

Eight months have passed since anyone has last seen or heard from her. It’s a mystery with many questions and few clues, and it’s a mystery that has left family members and loved ones longing for information.

How could a tourist simply disappear in Hong Kong one of the safest cities in the world?

Of the country they intend to visit. Should a tourist visiting SA be able to speak a few words of each of the eleven official languages in South Africa ? Which words would you recommend they learn ?

What do you think Rio De Janeiro can improve in its tourism attractions? What would you like to see there as a tourist? Anything out of the box would be great. Usually what type of travellers go to Rio De Janeiro? Backpackers, Leisure travellers etc?

You don’t know SH*T about Rio… do you? BUY A GUIDE BOOK it will tell you a lot more than asking for sights to see here on Answers…. and it will even tell you about the ONE TOURIST SIGHT EVERYONE SEES… it’s the stupid statue of geezus… you can’t miss it.. just LOOK UP from any place in Rio.

North Korea may have expelled the UN nuclear observers but it remains keen to welcome tourists. We go undercover in Pyongyang, where the shoddy tourist façade fails to conceal a much darker reality.
