    which is the best place for Adventure tourism studies in the world ?! :p?

    Posted by admin on January 13th, 2010 and filed under adventure tourism | 2 Comments »


    Well if you like ADVENTURE, engage in places drenched in war and blood. I would assume the Middle East. Now try that. Perhaps waring countries in Africa. But what kind of studies are you pursuing? Are you a philanthropist? Perhaps a scholar who wishes to study in the field? Do you have any combat or military experience? Because if you really want adventure, you probably want danger too. But I may be exaggerating.

    If you are pursuing tribal studies, then it would be cool to engage in meetings with the natives of Southern American countries. Hell, if you are a herbalist, you could study the benefits of healing properties of the plants, fruites, etc. You may discover a rare and vital chemical that companies would die for.

    Please contact me concerning this.

    Advice on Cruising & Excursions in Hawaii? Your experiences on Spirit of America cruise ship?

    Posted by admin on November 18th, 2009 and filed under adventure tourism | 3 Comments »

    We are taking a Hawaiian cruise on the Spirit of America. Their prices for land excursions seem pretty high compared to what we’ve gotten on land on earlier trips. We’re considering scheduling our own excursions. I understand they will pick you up at the dock and return you to the ship.

    Are you familiar with Hawaiian tourism, esp. cruising? If you are, what suggestions would you have? What’s the best way to save money on excursions or other things to do while in port? Is there perhaps an agency over there that can book adventures & excursions for us?

    What excursions have you done and enjoyed the most? We’re a retired couple, so hiking the Na Pali coast is probably out, but we’re open to any suggestions.

    Also, if you have sailed on the Spirit of America, we’d appreciate any advice about the ship, ports of call, or cruising in general. This is "free-style" cruising, and anything you could tell us about that would also be appreciated.

    Thanks a lot for your help!

    I believe that you are referring to Norwegian Cruise Line – Pride of America. Spirit of Hawaii is long gone along with the constitution – (not a political comment – actual name of the ship).

    My former director had been on more than 100 cruises. She has been on all of NCL’s fleet. She is invited to the inaugral voyages of all of their ships. This was her favorite ship built in the last 10 years. She is hard to impress, so that said a lot to me. She found the Jewel and Pride of Hawaii that came after Pride of America disappointing. This is still her favorite in Hawaii.

    Please visit their website at www.ncl.com for more information. You are able to preview and purchase shore excursions in advance of your cruise.

    Keep in mind that the cruise line contracts with local vendors to offer the shore excursions. NCL guaranties the reliability and value of the vendor. There are other vendors that will offer the same shore excursions in the area…that can also be arranged independently in advance (reputable companies like Get to hawaii). This is an opportunity for less savory people to take advantage of vulnerable travelers (more common in caribbean/mexican markets) so buyer beware.

    Free Style cruising means that there is no assigned dining room or dining time. You have a selection of 13 restaurants: Cadillac Diner, Jefferson’s Bistro, Lazy J Texas Steakhouse, East Meets West Sushi Bar, Teppanyaki, Little Italy, Aloha Cafe, Liberty Main Restaurant, Skyline Main Restaurant (9 without a cover charge). You choose when you want to eat and with whom you want to eat. If you want to dress up formally every night of the cruise you can…if you want to leave the suit at home you can. At the end of the cruise they don’t have assignments for disembarkation. You leave when you wish before 10am.

    Lazy J’s has a cover charge ($20 per person) but is the best. Go there with your jeans and enjoy a great steak or 2 or 3. One covercharge.

    Can anyone give me advice on my Resume?

    Mae Hong Son – Geography, culture, history, and tourist facilities? 10 points to first correct answer. HELP!!!

    Posted by admin on November 6th, 2009 and filed under adventure tourism | 2 Comments »

    I need to get this info: about Mae Hong Son, Thailand

    Physical geography
    History of the province
    Tourist Facilities, and whether or not it is eco tourism, mass, or adventure,
    3 issues facing this province.

    And it cannot be from wikipedia.. must not be from wiki… 10 points to first answer that is related to my question

    Try www.tourismthailand.org for the info too. Too much to answer you. Been there and eco-tourism is what is selling there. There is unique mountain landscape and hill tribes to visit there.

    3 issues facing MHS? Firstly is is not well-known. Secondly it is far from most of the popular places in Thailand. Thirdly there is no reasy route there except by flight.

    So take a trip there if you are keen.

    I’m planning to visit Williamsburg for a college visit and some tourism.
    My friend and I are both poor college students and want the most bang for our buck. I’m considering staying for 2-3 nights. Is it worth it to keep things cheap and start our adventure on Thursday? Is Williamsburg enjoyable on weekdays?
