Mass tourism - a threat or blessing for local communities? Nowadays, it is not a problem to travel from one location to another. Hundreds of tourists visits the most famous and beautiful places all over the world every single day but mass tourism has many disadvantages and fortunately some advantages too. The most important advantages of mass tourism are the financial profits. Thanks to tourism local people are employed in various kind of companies which are connected with tourists and their attractions. Local people also get more options how to be more successful in making money because in popular tourist areas they can start their own business, such as, shops, cafes, pubs, hotels, tent camps and so on. In addition, thanks to the money spent by tourists, local authorities have funds to maintain different buildings and places like, for example, libraries or parks and to restore monuments and other objects of histoic...
Mass Tourism As the population grows, technology advances and because of that, tourism is growing very fast. Nowadays, travelling long distances is not a problem and that causes mass tourism. Still, mass tourism has both good and bad sides. On the onehand, there are some advantages with broading mass tourism. In the first place, mass tourism is great because it increases country's income. Moreover, authorities are forced to clean up polluted areas. For example, tourists prefer clean area against dirty and polluted place. Finally mass tourism can increase population of country. In fact, sometimes tourist can go back and start his life there. On the otherhand, unfortunately there are some negative aspects aswell. Firstly, with mass tourism comes pollution. For example, tourist throws carbage on the ground because there are no garbage cans around. Another bad aspect is that to...
Massiturism ja sihtkoht Turistide arv kasvab iga aastaga aina suuremaks. Uued maailmaavastajad reisivad alguses tüüpilistesse kuurortlinnadesse, kus on odav ja lihtne liigelda ning reisi nautida. Massiturism on lõbu- ja puhkamisreis, huvitutakse kohalikust kultuurist ning sihtkohaks on tavaliselt troopilised ja rannaäärsed alad. Massiturismi nimi ütleb ka seda, et turistide arv teatud riiki või linna on meeletult suur ning valitud sihtpunkt sõltub tavaliselt hooajast. Antud turismiliik annab juurde töökohti, reklaamib enda riiki, kultuuri, traditsioone ning toob üldjuhul majandusliku kasu. Samas on massiturismil ka palju negatiivseid aspekte nagu näiteks: rikkumine ja looduse reostamine. Tänapäeval peaksime rohkem keskenduma just negatiivsetele aspektidele, et neid vähendada ja turismi aina paremaks muuta. Kui inimesed ei hakka sellest praegu mõtlema, siis ei pruugi 20. aasta pärast teatuid loomal...
Adventure Tourism Project Management Madli Tuvike There is no such thing as a totally sustainable tourism (Swarbrooke, 1999). Tourism as one of the leading industries in the world is contributing to sustainable development (Mintel, 2005). Tourism needs to cope with changing world and world order, also trends that are occurring. Sustainable tourism is one rising industry in tourism market. Swarbroke (1999) and David (2011) are suggesting that sustainable tourism and sustainability is taking wider part in tourism industry. Moreover, Mintel (2005) states that tourism contribution to sustainable development is being recognised increasingly by governments and international organisations. In addition, United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO, a.i.) states that tourism nowadays takes full responsibility of impacts that it is making, such as current and future economic, social and environmental. Therefore, this essay will i...

Kosmosetekkelised pinnavormid Eestis Eesti territooriumil on tänaseks tuvastatud kokku seitse paika, kus leidub kosmiliste kehade plahvatusjälgi (kaheksanda võimaliku Vaida kraatri uurimist on alles alustatud). Neist nelja puhul (Kaali, Ilumetsa, Kärdla, Neugrund) on vaieldamatult tegemist hiidmeteoriitide jälgedega. Kogu maailmas on teaduslikult kindlaks tehtud ligi 200 hiidmeteoriidi kraatrit või muud jälge. Niisiis, arvesse võttes meie territooriumi väiksust, on Eesti kõige tihedama meteoriidikraatrite hulgaga riik maailmas! Kas on selle põhjuseks kodumaa pinnase ehituse omapära, mis kosmilisi jälgi eriti hästi säilitanud? Või hoopis Eesti geoloogide erakordne agarus sääraste jälgede otsingul? Või arvata seletuseks mingi kolmas päris ootamatu või imeline põhjus? Jäägu vastuse otsimine lugejale edasimõtlemiseks. Selle asemel heitkem suuruse järjekorras põgus pilk teadaolevatele kosmiliste keha...
Kraatrisüvendi kuju Kraatrisüvend on enamasti isomeetriliselt kooniline selgepiiriline sulglohk maapinnal. Väiksematel löögikraatritel võib olla ka väljavenitatud ovaalne kuju. Kraatri sügavus oleneb kraatri diameetrist ja aluspõhjakivimite tugevusest.. Omavahel võib kraatreid võrrelda kraatriindeksi, sügavuse ja läbimõõdu suhtarvu abil. Kraatrivalli kuju Kraatrivall, mis süvendit ümbritseb, võib olla nii katkematu kui ka ühest või mitmest kohast katkev maapinna ülakihtide üleskergitatud osa. Kõige laialivalguvamad on vallikontuurid väikekraatritel, mis asuvad haritaval põllumaal või on otsese inimtegevuse mõjul märkimisväärselt rikutud. Mõnikord ühtib kraatri madalaim valliosa meteoriidi langemise suunaga, kõrgeim valliosa on aga langemissuuna pikendusel. See asjaolu ahvatleb taastama meteoriidikeha langemissuunda valliehituse kuju põhjal. Valli jäänused kraatrite ümbruses on suhteliselt vastupidavad ka hilisematele kulutusprotsessi...

Public International Law is a system of law, different from domestic law. Why is this system unique? Usually law regulates relations between people, people and the state etc, PIL regulates relations between states. Thats why PIL is important for international relation students. PIL influences the life of everybody, it doesn't regulate people directly but indirectly (through the decisions of the states), because it's everywhere. It's like air. E.g. when you want to send a letter to Brazil, you put a stamp from your own country and send it from your post office and the letter gets delivered. Why is this so easy, because there are certain international conventions that regulate postal services. E.g. traffic signs are almost the same everywhere, why? Because of certain int conventions that require the states to have more or less unified traffic signs. States apply international regulations to national regulations and they ...
