Beach And Surf Tourism And Recreation In Australia: Vulnerability And Adaptation, Michael Raybould
Michael Raybould
The Beach and surf tourism and recreation in Australia: Vulnerability and adaptation project has produced estimates of economic values for recreation and tourism related to beach and surf amenities across four case-study locations in Australia. Estimates of the non-market consumer surplus values of beach recreation indicate that beach recreation is worth around: $70 million per annum (p.a.) to residents of the Sunshine Coast (Qld), $32 million p.a. to residents of Clarence Valley (NSW), $6 million p.a. to residents of the Surf Coast (Vic) and $4 million p.a. for residents of Augusta-Margaret River (WA).

The article continues with an example of how the authors developed their own approach to the analysis of Web 2.0 …

Further, I consider the Foucauldian construct of ‘technologies of the self’ as potentially offering an ethical …

Conteted Heritage In The Ancient City Of Peace, William Feighery
William Feighery
As the imperial capital of thirteen dynasties Xi’an, formerly known as Chang’an (eternal peace), houses a legacy of many of the most important periods of Chinese history and is one of the great archeological centers of the world.

Xi’an is currently under a triad of influences from processes of globalization, urban transition and domestic and international tourism. In recent decades and particularly since the dawn on the new millennium, the historic …
