From the Paper
"The specialized literature points out how the massive developments in Information Technology have changed all business features. One country that seems not to subscribe to this global trend is Nigeria. When most countries of the world have placed numerous advertisements and descriptions of their countries on the Internet, Nigeria remains difficult to google. In this order of ideas, several specialists emphasize on the need for Nigeria to develop a touristy strategy and place it online. Once the country has done this, the virtual access to the region will be eased and the online presentation of the Nigerian attractions will determine more and more foreigners to spend their vacations in the heart of African culture."

How to Market to the Gay and Lesbian Population
What Others are Doing
From the Paper
"One of the most significant developments in the travel industry, particularly as it applies to hotel management and marketing, is the recent trend aimed at attracting gay and lesbian clients. This trend developed as marketing research showed that gay and lesbian people are more likely to travel, and have more disposable income to spend when traveling, than the general population does. Thus, this group of individuals, who for decades was regarded as a niche travel population that only gay or lesbian-only travel marketing niche catered to, is now a mainstream market within the travel industry as a whole."

Alternative 3
From the Paper
"The third alternative is the one to choose, though it also involves more work. Oyun can offer the same tours as others do plus the new tour to the eagle hunt, and in this way the potential client will sort themselves out according to what they want. The likelihood of getting several tours started is good, and after that, how good the service is will determine repeat business and good referrals that will help keep the business going into the future. The long-term health of the entire industry depends on such referrals, but it also depends on developing a more reliable airline system. A recent news article states, in tortured English, "The country's tourism industry lacks [sic] of adequate and reliable air transport services, both domestic and international, as [sic] the main impediments to the growth of their businesses, say industry workers" ("'Reliable Domestic Flights Needed to Develop Tourism Industry' Says EzNis" para. 6). That is not and cannot be Oyun's responsibility, but to the extent that he and others in the industry can make it clear how much this is needed, perhaps the government will respond."

Modern Technology Trends in Hospitality
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Without a clear understanding of the innovative manner in which the hospitality industry has grown, both domestically and internationally it might be easy for the modern consumer to assume that advances in technology are not a priority in the industry. This would be an assumption made in error, as historically speaking the hospitality industry has been demanding and producing innovation since it began. The industry has led the way in the development especially of food and beverage transportation, storage and preparation, business strategy developments as well as communications technology so they can more easily provide the consumer with quality at an increasingly rapid rate of delivery."

"Another aspect of Turkey's economy which should be of great interest for foreign investors is tourism. Turkey's tourism is permanently developing, but it has not yet reached its potential. Being the first European destination of 2007, with positive consequence on the years to come also, Turkey's tourism should be exploited more by foreign investors."

A Philosophy of Leisure, 2008.
This paper explores the thoughts of several philosophers on leisure and a discussion on the writer's own philosophy of leisure.
1,585 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 4 sources, APA, $ 51.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses and explains the thoughts about leisure of many great philosophers, including Aristotle, Jeremy Bentham, and Immanuel Kant. The writer then discusses his own personal philosophy of leisure and concludes that, so long as pleasure does not impinge upon the lives and productivity of native inhabitants, or the pleasures of others, varied quests in the pursuit of leisure are all honorable.
From the Paper
"A philosopher such as Aristotle might find the more mentally industrious forms of leisure more beneficial. Watching television and eating foods that please the palate but do not nourish the body may provide pleasure, but do not facilitate happiness. For Aristotle, "the happiest life, the greatest human good, is the fulfillment of the philosopher" is a philosophical life of seeking happiness, but not necessarily a life of seeking or enjoying pleasure. Happiness is achieved through contemplation, but not a contemplation done out of compulsion."

Abstract
This paper discusses the illusions and expectations that tourists to Las Vegas come to the city with. It then compares these illusions and expectations with the reality of the experiences of these same visitors. The paper bases its arguments on Roger Kimball's "Existentialism, Semiotics, and Iced Tea." The paper provides examples from occurrences in Las Vegas.
From the Paper
"A very recent example was when, several weeks ago now, unsuspecting tourists happened to be visiting Las Vegas at the same time the NBA All Star teams, replete with rowdy entourages and various ill-mannered hangers-on, rolled into town and behaved in ways that spoiled the atmosphere and therefore ruptured, for a time, the Las Vegas illusion. One may be sure Las Vegas spin-masters were put right to work after this occurred, prettying up as much as possible any ugly leftover details (the worst of these being a nightclub shooting in which the manager of the place was shot by a basketball star or someone in his entourage (no one is talking) and is now paralyzed. Tourists in town for whatever reason that weekend, or even a few weekends afterward, might have heard or read something or other about the shooting itself, but not about its now-paralyzed and unable to work again victim. That story just broke last week, and on a Wednesday."
