6 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD BE VISITING GOA

10 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD VISIT AUSTRALIA.

Australia has unique places that when you visit you are forever engraved in your mind and your heart. We have made list the 10 most important reasons to visit Australia, although we believe that this land full of wonders has many more. Its imposing nature, paradisiacal beaches, unique animals, passion for sports, cultural diversity, excellent wines, cities with the highest quality of life make the thousands of kilometers that separate us to visit it worthwhile

THE REASONS WHY WE LOVE VISIT SINGAPORE

As a country, Singapore is a very small country, the smallest in all of Southeast Asia. Singapore in just 200 years has gone from being a completely "desert" island in the early nineteenth century to the fourth largest financial center in the world. It is possible that much of Singapore's success is due to its strategic position and British influence during the colonial era, a time that began with a small settlement back in 1819 and that lasted more than 100 years.

Pilgrimage Tourism in Palestine: The Backbone of the Palestinian Economy

Part of the book series: Perspectives on Asian Tourism ((PAT))

97 Accesses

In Palestine, tourism is the backbone of the national economy, and pilgrimage accounts for a significant part. However, the social-cultural and economic impacts of tourism and specifically pilgrimage tourism, are not sufficiently studied. This chapter sets out to fill this gap – to analyse the socio-cultural and economic impacts of pilgrimage tourism, also touching upon the political implications facing the pilgrimage tourism market. Its intention is to formulate a new tourism discourse about the country’s political, social, economic, and religious situation. To do this, in addition to the government tourism strategies, the chapter reviews the recent developments associated with the UNESCO world heritage sites and protection initiatives, whose intention included boosting the pilgrimage tourism sector.
