(click on title to download podcast)I am back into a weekly schedule now.
The focus of my podcasts for the coming months will be on Sustainable Tourism Planning. Today's podcast is an introduction to the basic concepts of "Sustainability," "Tourism," and "Planning."
News items include the impacts of terrorism on UK residents' travel plans, tourism impacts of the drought in East Africa, and Bigfoot sightings in Malaysia. (The podcast is 16min 30secs long.)
