Visitor Welcome Programmes--A Positive Step In Helping To Promote Cross Socio-Cultural Relations, Perry Hobson

Visions in Leisure and Business

One of the main problems currently facing modern tourism is the alienation of tourists from host nationals. The lack of interaction and communication between tourists and hosts communities can result in misunderstanding, resentment and suspicion. If tourism is to overcome the alienation of tourists and residents from each other, and promote understanding and therefore peace between these two groups, then they must be able to meet, talk and understand each other. Current trends indicate that tomorrow's tourists will be looking for more interaction and communication with their hosts. The paper examines some of the current formal "meet-the-people" programmes and the …

Cancer registration in Louisiana has developed gradually. It has been providing important information since 1947 when the Charity Hospital Tumor Registry was established.

In 1973 the National Cancer Institute provided funds for an incidence registry to cover the three parishes of the Greater New Orleans Area. It provided very valuable data which became part of the Surveillance, Epidemiology and …
