(the Global Tourism and Travel Summit.)
One trend and challenge that has emerged recently and which has elicited much debate and concern, is global warming. This is also related to the trend within the industry which is concerned about the future viability of resorts and recreational areas on the coast or in mountainous areas. " in two environments which are vital for tourism activities and where tourism is an equally vital component in regional and local economies - coastal zones and mountain regions - climate change puts tourism at risk. Important market changes could result." (1st International Conference on Climate Change and Tourism)
However there is also a focus in the industry on learning from the experience of resorts and recreational enterprises that have recovered from floods and other disasters. For example, Mexico has shown the ability that the industry has to recover for these disasters. The rapid recovery which was….
These reflect light and can be a signal to search and rescue teams in the event of an emergency. Campers should also carry a map of the trail and understand the route they will take around the lake before they leave for their trip. One thing many campers forget is the altitude around Lake Tahoe. The lake itself is about 6.000 feet up, and the im Trail even higher. High elevations have less oxygen, and so breathing is more difficult. That can make the heart work harder, too. Hikers should condition before the hike to make sure they are in good shape to hike at higher elevations.
Lightweight camping equipment is a necessity for long-term wilderness camping. Extremely lightweight tents, sleeping bags, and other items are available from a variety of online and traditional merchants. It is best to look at the tents and bags in person so you can….
The class would also look at alternative types of employment, like self-employment as a freelance writer or photographer, or something like that, that they could use skills they have to help others. They could also develop these skills if they had always thought about doing them but never had the time. Another alternative is selling things they make. The class would explore their hobbies and interests, and tell them how to market their handcrafts online or at craft fairs, and such. The Fremont Senior Center has craft fairs throughout the year where they could sell items, and there are other craft fairs in the area, too.
Another class could look at selling at online auctions like eBay or other similar sites. They could learn how to do it, and decide what to sell, and this could make them a part-time income if they were devoted to it. They would have to….
The author also refers to the fact that the United Sates uses wood at a very high rate compared to other regions of the world, which also impacts on the available forests and emphasizes the need for more intensive forest management. Furthermore, the article also discusses how legislation in the United States has reduced the extent of deforestation in the country. Despite these attempts at reducing the economic impact on the forests, the article provides some extensive and alarming statistics about the numbers and types of trees that have been eradicated in America alone.
This study goes on to discuss various solutions to the present impasse between the environmental groups who oppose logging and unmanaged economic activity and the wood and logging industry. This, state the authors, would involve a compromise between these two groups. The author suggests that on the one hand the environmentalists have to realize that they….
he YMCA states the following statistics:
1,712 Ys work with elementary schools;
1,406 Ys work with middle schools;
810 Ys work with homeschool programs;

V. Other Services Provided by YMCA
Recreation and leisure services are only a part of the YMCA's program scope and reaches "far beyond the United States" into more than 120 foreign countries providing services to in excess of 45 million throughout the world. Other services provided include "job training, new immigrant education, teen leadership opportunities, parenting classes, social opportunities for seniors and housing." (Ibid)
VI. YMCA Economic Model
he economic model of the YMCA is one "which combines enterprise, market, sales, and charity" (Wallace, 2006 Chronicle of Philanthropy) While other organizations that provide similar services are known to exist the difference in those and the YMCA is in that the YMCA does concentrate….
In order to provide high quality products and services for its customers, the center must invest important amounts of money into this business. As a consequence, the fees charged for the center's services will be medium to high. However, in order to attract as much customers as possible from the beginning, the center will be forced into providing its potential customers certain discounts, bonuses, and various promotions for certain services.
6. Selling to customers
The new Lazar Tag Facility will only employ customer-oriented personnel in order to provide its potential customers a quality experience in all areas. Given the fact that the new center addresses all group ages, the center's personnel will have a significant impact on customers' first impression. Customers' behavior towards the Lazar Tag Facility will depend on this first impression. In accordance to this, they will decide if they will come back to this center in case they….
recreational activity popular, it must transcend distinctions of wealth and class. As Charles Cotton's The Compleat Gamester states "games and sports of all kinds were common recreations for the people of Tudor and Stuart England." Peter Burke defines culture as a system of shared meanings, attitudes and values, and the symbolic forms in which they are expressed or embodied[1]; by popular culture it is possible Burke's definition refers to the culture of the ordinary people or the "subordinate classes" -- those below the level of the elite. However, this paper views social history by looking at the commonality of leisure, recreation, games and sports of all kinds as the basis to determine whether there was a popular culture in early modern England. For example, cards, archery and tennis included all classes (the lower and upper) and encompassed those who devoted time to leisurely activities as well as those who….

Effects Of Parks And Recreation Services On Human Development And Other enefits) related factor is that leadership qualities are positively influenced by recreational activities and sports. Participating in sport allows the child to develop and learn leadership abilities in a relaxed and informal way. Psychologists point out that play and recreation are the very foundations of a child's natural development. However this aspect is also dependent on the factors such as the organization of leisure time and the facilities and equipment that are available. In this regard the planning of recreation areas is an extremely important aspect.
Recreational faculties have to be carefully planned with regards to their situation and to ensure that they are accessible to children. If this is….
To these kids playing video games is an extracurricular activity and they don't see any reason to do anything else.
The major problem with this is that the incidence of childhood obesity in the U.S. is three times higher than it was 40 years ago. esearch shows that the increased use of technology by children during leisure time has transformed play from what used to be more physically active to sedentary. Children are often engaged in an environment that exposes them to food advertisement that encourages even more caloric consumption. Despite the linkage between technology and sedentary behavior, no consistent policy exists at the federal level that articulates government's role to address this issue (Campbell, Gilmore, McGinty, Pickering and amos, 2009).
A new study shows that every hour that a child plays video games or watches television may double their risk of obesity. This is not the first study to associate….

The different tastes in personal pleasure can be seen in the leisure industry as a whole. Some people seek out community service vacations, some seek adventure vacations, and other people simply want a nice, pretty beach and warm sun. All seek, I believe, to become better people, even if only simply through relaxation. My standards for happiness and my virtue ethics are less stringent than Aristotle's standards. 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 vacationing volunteer in Dafur to the Disneyland tourist seeking to give memories to a child, and finding pleasure in the child's reactions to new sights and sounds.

It is important that some of these groups that include children plan to feed the ducks meaning that children will be near the water and requiring assurance that required staff be present to manage the feeding of ducks and to ensure safety of the children.

It is recommended that each group include a trail guide and a trail assistant. The trail guide will lead the group on the trail with the assistant walking, running or bicycling at the rear of the group to ensure the group remains together. In….
In many ways, the Vietnam ar represented the height of Cold ar tensions in much the same way that the decade was giving way to an inevitable breaking point in environmental negligence. Though the years which would follow would see a gradual intensification of environmental protection laws, these have by and large been nullified by the impact of that for which Abbey offers the most criticism. ith both Vietnam and the destruction of many of America's richest points of flora and fauna diversity being the products of our ongoing 'evolution' toward technological, industrial and commercial advance, Abbey is persuasive in drawing a sympathetic mistrust of modernity from the reader. Ultimately, it produces a sense of loss for ildland Recreation opportunities while simultaneously reinforcing the primal importance of such experiences.

Community Recreation Centers & Sports
hat are the benefits for a community when sports on a recreational level are offered? How does a community benefit from having a community recreation center? These issues are reviewed in this paper.
Reasons why a recreation center would benefit a community
An example of a community that is seeking to put together the resources for a community center is in Port Orchard, England. According to a story in the Port Orchard Independent, Port Orchard did not have a recreation center in 2008, but there were numerous community sports being played in various venues. In order to have a place for youth and adults to meet and enjoy sports together, the community was hoping that a $16 million 20-year bond issue would provide that space for those sports.
The recreational sports that would be available in a future recreation center would be: indoor basketball courts; indoor volleyball activities in….
