Tourism In The Egyptian Red Sea Area: A Responsible Development Approach, Lawrance Yu
Tourism In The Egyptian Red Sea Area: A Responsible Development Approach, Lawrance Yu
Hospitality Review
Egypt has always been a world-renowned tourism destination of antiquity. A government policy of product diversification attempts to disperse tourists more evenly in the country. The Egyptian Red Sea coast is therefore targeted as a new tourism development zone. The author identifies the new development patterns in the Egyptian Red Sea area and discusses the potential tourism impact on the coastal environment. It is recommended that a responsible development approach be adopted for coastal and marine tourism in the Egyptian Red Sea area
Intra-Regional Tourism And Challenges Facing Hong Kong's Hotel Industry, J.S. Perry Hobson, Goldwyn Ko
Intra-Regional Tourism And Challenges Facing Hong Kong's Hotel Industry, J.S. Perry Hobson, Goldwyn Ko
Hospitality Review
Asia is experiencing a rapid growth in intra-Asian tourism, and is finding that the spending priorities of these new visitor markets is quite different from traditional markets. Not only have Hong Kong's markets changed, but the economic operational environment is becoming increasingly difficult as a result of the change in sovereignty in 1997, increasing land prices, and new regulations. The current structure of the hotel industry is out of balance with the demands of these new markets. Hong Kong now needs to consider some intervention in the hotel industry to further encourage the development of properties in this mid-market.

The authors review related articles and identify potential research topics in the theme park industry.
Using Saltland In Pakistan : An Australian Connection, Ed Barrett-Lennard, Riaz Qureshi
Using Saltland In Pakistan : An Australian Connection, Ed Barrett-Lennard, Riaz Qureshi
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Pakistan and Australia have a common enemy in salt. In each country millions of hectares of previously productive land have been affected by salt (or have the potential to become saline) because of inappropriate agricultural development. Since 1989 the Western Australian Department of Agriculture has participated in a research project in Pakistan which involves revegetation of salt land using Australian shrubs. Early results are very promising.
Merging Conservation With Production In Remnant Bush, Anne Morgan, Alison Fuss
Merging Conservation With Production In Remnant Bush, Anne Morgan, Alison Fuss
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Exports of cutflowers and foliage from Western Australia are now worth about $17 million a year. A third of this is picked from the bush, either on Crown Land or areas of remnant bush on private property. While the industry's future lies in cultivation, bush picking is likely to remain important for some years. This can provide both extra income for farmers and benefit the environment - as long as care is taken

Front Matter, Coalition For Education In The Outdoors (Ceo)
Research in Outdoor Education
The Coalition for Education in the Outdoors initiated a Research Task Force in 1990 with the purpose of supporting the conduct of research in the field and the dissemination of the results. The symposium at Bradford Woods and these Proceedings offer evidence of the success of this task force. At the first symposium in 1992, there was general agreement that the symposium be a regular occurrence. The 1994 Symposium and these Proceedings are indicators of the Coalition's continued support of research in outdoor education. Information on future events will be available through the Coalition Office.
