"Travel is no longer a past-time but a colossal industry, arguably one of the biggest in the world and second only to oil in importance for many poor countries. One out of 12 people in the world are employed by the tourism industry which contributes $6.5 trillion to the world's economy. To investigate the size and effect of this new industry, Elizabeth Becker traveled the globe. She speaks to the Minister of Tourism of Zambia who thinks licensing foreigners to kill wild animals is a good way to make money and then to a Zambian travel guide who takes her to see the rare endangered sable antelope. She travels to Venice where community groups are fighting to stop the tourism industry from pushing them out of their homes, to France where officials have made tourism their number one industry to save their cultural heritage; and on cruises speaking to waiters who earn $60 a month--then on to Miami to interview their CEO. Becker's sharp depiction reveals travel as a product; nations as stewards. Seeing the tourism industry from the inside out, the world offers a dizzying range of travel options but very few quiet getaways"--

Sustainable Refurbishment Governments across the EU and developed countries are increasingly being directed towards improving existing built stock as a key ingredient to meeting climate change challenges. This guide to green ‘retro-fitting’ for corporate real estate, facility managers and occupiers struggling to reduce their building’s carbon footprint will help in the planning and management of a sustainable refurbishment programme. Sustainable Refurbishment is structured into four parts: the first gives the context, together with an overview on sustainable development and refurbishment projects separately, and the value gained from a sustainable refurbishment. Part Two details the regulatory and financial drivers, together with market pressures, and provides an overview of where this is leading, giving the implications for sustainable refurbishment. Part Three provides technical support on carbon measures, helping to determine the feasibility of good practices as part of the refurbishment. Included is a review of energy efficiency, renewable and low carbon technologies and embodied carbon to enable lifecycle carbon calculations, together with the necessary behavioural change aspects needed to embed the changes. Linkages and benefits between the technologies will be highlighted. Part Four reviews refurbishment from a wider environmental perspective, understanding the challenges and opportunities that exist for particular developments from a materials, water, biodiversity and transport perspective. Throughout the book, checklists are provided on typical activities and best practice; these are expanded through relevant case studies and examples to show-case previous good practices and lessons learnt. The book’s structure allows a matrix approach, with Parts Three and Four containing the technical information necessary to deliver sustainable refurbishment. The book provides a much-needed link between policy-level commitment and detailed technical delivery. This easily digestible and authoritative review of the key issues in green retro-fitting is crucial for facilities managers; building surveyors; property managers/owners; and corporate real estate involved in sustainable refurbishment by offering the practical support needed to make it happen.

Travel distribution has become one of the most talked-about subjects in the tourism industry since technological advances have opened new channels and opportunities for suppliers of tourism, travel intermediaries and consumers. While technological advances have brought about dramatic changes, so too has the consolidation of organisations, both in the airline and travel industries. These changes are transforming the industry and while travel agents will remain key players in distribution, their fundamental role will probably change from supplier-biased intermediaries to consumer-biased consultants.
