Tourism on Trial - Egypt
For downloads and more information visit: www.journeyman.tv In Egypt security problems have collapsed the tourism industry, one of the cornerstones of its economy. As radical Islamists push for strict regulations on tourists, Egypt's population is struggling. "Before the revolution, we used to get ten buses here every hour," a stall keeper sighs. The lack of tourist business has afflicted over 3.5 million people who depend on the traffic for their income. But while they had hoped that the end of the revolution would bring tourists back, there is now another threat looming on the horizon. It may sound bizarre, but the radical Islamist Salafists believe that tourists should only be able to see the pyramids through a veil of wax, arguing "there is a religious decree against keeping them as they are". Unfortunately for the tourist industry, they hold 25% of the seats in the new democratically elected parliament. Under the Salafists public displays of affection would also be banned, as would men and women swimming together. In fact, their decrees would probably force Egypt's most famous beach resort, Sharm El Sheik, to close down. But as tour operator Abdis Salaam says, those in the industry are braced for a fight: "We will stand up against them. We are prepared to create a new revolution if our livelihood is affected." SBS

Counting the Cost - The tourism business
This week we are going to take you on holiday on Counting the Cost. Tourism is the biggest service industry in the world and we are right in the middle of peak season. Between May and August - summer in the Northern Hemisphere - some 415 million tourists are expected to travel on their holidays. The top five destinations last year, in terms of number of visitors were Italy with 46 million, Spain with 56,7 million, China with 57,6 million, and the US was second with over 62 million, and at the top of the list is France with 79,5 million visitors. Down the other end of the scale though, the Middle East and North Africa took a massive hit because of the Arab Spring - losing about five million tourists last year. But we are going to focus on Egypt where there are signs of a recovery. The number of tourists jumped 29 per cent between January and May this year compared to the same period a year ago, when the revolution was still dominating the headlines. Al Jazeera's Jacky Rowland looks at some of the efforts being made to bring tourists back to Egypt. We also look at toursim in the Philippines, and how that ongoing dispute over the South China Sea is keeping Chinese tourists away. And of course London - the Olympics are in town and there is a packet to be made, but why are these people leaving their homes during the Games?

Tourism perfomance: 2012 positive despite election fears
www.ntv.co.ke Players in the tourism industry hold that the industry's performance for 2012 compares favorably to that of 2011 despite the fact that the Kenyan general election had been planned for 2012 hence performance had been expected to dip. The economic slump in Europe however continues to put a considerable drag on tourism activity here in the country. Here is Agatha Juma, the Kenya Tourism Federation's Chief Executive Officer with a summarized review of the state of the tourism industry.

euronews focus - Taking the pulse of medical tourism in of South Korea
www.euronews.com South Korea has been making a huge effort over the past few years to develop medical tourism as one of its new growth industries. To make life easier for foreign visitors, information centres have been set up to offer advice and guidance to a growing number of foreign patients (mainly from Japan, China and Russia), who come to South Korea in search of all manner of medicinal marvels. "We help about 60 foreign patients per day, which means that there were more than 12000 in our first year of business. They ask for very diverse treatments, from cosmetic surgery to traditional medicine," explains Ki Rip Park, from a Medical Tourism Information Centre in Busan. In Seoul, business at the Jaseng Hospital of Eastern Medicine is booming. It specialises in non-surgical spine treatments and has an international clinic to accommodate its foreign patients, with translators on hand to help out. Naoko, from Japan, suffers from severe back pain and has become a regular here. She gets Chuna therapy, as well as a mixture of electric stimulation acupuncture and herbal medication. Naoko Kawaragi, a medical tourist told euronews: "Sometimes I cannot walk, I cannot stand, I cannot stretch. I started coming here two years ago. Now I come here every three months and I stay for three days. Before I couldn't even walk." Treatments combine old and new - East and West - a medical fusion that allows new treatments to develop, attracting an increasing number of Westerners along the ...

euronews focus - Venezuela reaches for new tourism heights
www.euronews.com The highest peaks in Venezuela are at the centre of an ambitious re-building programme. As part of an effort to reconstruct the country's tourism industry it will build the Mérida cable car, which is the longest and highest in the world. Construction at almost five kilometres up in the northern Andes on Pico Espejo takes nerve and precise planning. Four hundred and fifty engineers work around the clock, battling severe weather conditions and the altitude. Being in a National Park the project has to be sensitive to the environment, recycling materials and limiting the extent of the works' effects on the surrounding area. The cable car has to lift its own building materials - up to 2000 tonnes per trip. The Venezuelan government is putting 246-million euros into the project. The tourism development coordinator for the Mérida cable car, Jaime Bautista told euronews: "Beyond the economic investment, beyond the technological achievement, this cable car aims to create environmental awareness, stimulate visitors to know nature and to enjoy high mountain activities." The Merida region is a favorite destination for Venezuelans. Tired of tropical temperatures, it is something of an exotic novelty to spend time in the Páramo heights having to wear gloves and woolly hats for a few days. The new cable car, due to open at the end of 2013 should attract international visitors to Mérida too. Venezuela's socialist Government has recently approved a new tourism law, aiming ...

Snow and Ice Theme Park Delights Tourists
A winter wonderland, made from ice. The 'Ice and Snow World' is an annual tradition in Harbin, the capital of China's northern Heilongjiang province. It's the largest theme park of its kind in the world. And it's a hit with tourists. [Tang Peixue, Tourist]: "We have never seen these things. It's really beautiful. Our classmates came here to see what the winter is like in north China." This ice palace, and the other 2000 artworks on display, are made from crystal clear ice taken from the local Songhua River. [Zhou Xuan, Tourist from Hebei Province] "I have not seen so many ice-carved structures even though there's also ice in Hebei. It's my first time to enjoy these. It's brilliant." And for those looking for a bit more action in this icy theme park more than 30 different activities are on offer, including a ride down this massive 460-foot long slide. [Tony Guangzhong, Tourist]: "It's too fast, too thrilling. It's more thrilling than a roller coaster." The theme park is part of the Harbin Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival, which dates back to 1963. The Ice and Snow World is more recent, first opening in 1999. The park will officially open for 2013 on Saturday January 5th.

Travel Wild - The Yucatan Tourism Reviving the Mayan Culture
The Yucatan is a place where dense jungles hide the ruins of a once powerful Mayan civilization. The disappearance of the Mayan civilization is still largely unanswered but to understand a little more Lin goes in search of the Mayans ancestors. She encounters the "Sobadores"; traditional bone healers, who are using skills passed down through the generations and found an unexpected modern-day niche in Mexico�s flourishing luxury Spa industry.Our exploration of how the Mayan people are reclaiming their heritage � and that of others � leads us to a restored Hacienda owned by a community collective. It is one of a number of such lavish properties that were once owned by the Spanish Conquistadors that are now recognized by UNESCO for its heritage values. Everything about the hotel reflects the region�s rich tapestry of history, making staying there more akin to a living history lesson in luxury, than an eco-friendly place to rest the head.Beyond the decadent comforts of the Hacienda, the chatter of spider monkeys can be heard from the densely tangled jungle and Lin joins a local Mayan guide who takes points out native plant species that are being harvested once again for use in traditional medicines and spa treatments.We also visit the peninsula�s incredible biospheres, and the sanctuaries dedicated to protect the flora and fauna of Mexico. It offers visitors an unforgettable hands-on experience and a greater appreciation of the ecological wonders often overlooked by ...

Travel Guide - Botswana Tourism 4X4 Adventure Video.
Self Drive Do it Yourself Botswana: www.africaafrica.co.za Since Africa has opened up for Tourist, many 4 x 4 owners and nature lovers are planning to visit various destinations offered by countries north of the Limpopo. The most popular destination is Botswana, without a doubt one of Africa's last real bastions of game. A land of contrasts -- from the harsh beauty of Central Kalahari to the lush woodlands of the Okavango Delta. Adventure Films recognised the need of many 4 x 4 owners for more information regarding this beautiful country. The adventurers who want to arrange their own 4 x 4 safari to Botswana are sometimes sceptical of going, due to the lack of information available regarding facilities, accommodation, road conditions and many more. For this reason, the video "The Botswana Adventure" was produced. The video is not a wildlife film. The purpose of this production is to inform potential visitors to Botswana about relative aspects that could assist them in planning their 4 x 4 adventure. Topics featured are National Parks, relevant towns, hotels and lodges, camping sites, road conditions and useful tips regarding your adventure. Our route starts at the border with South Africa and takes us to the northern part of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve (Deception Valley), from where we travel on to Maun -- the Gateway to the Okavango Delta. We then headed north to Moremi, on to Savuti, Linyanti and Ihaha in the beautiful Chobe National Park. We end our adventure in ...
