Tourism Review Online Magazine 7 / 2007

Aug 27, 2007
Dear readers,

the time of summer holiday is slowly coming to its end. However, there is always enough time to go for a short trip. Industrial landmarks of UNESCO seem always a good choice – both for an individual traveler as well as for the whole adventure seeking family. Our September issue presents few of these treasures of the human modern history. Interested in the oldest iron bridge, preserved board mill, ironworks or even Japanese silver mine? Go for the Heritage part of our magazine.
Luxury car clubs seem spreading all over the US and Europe as well. Read about the way the clubs are organized, about the advantages, as well as about the members. The topic of means of transport continues in the section Transport dedicated to small airports and the challenges they need to overcome. Last but not least, our magazine introduces two quite distinct destinations – Antarctica and the environmental impact of tourism, and Montenegro – the not well known beauty in the southeastern Europe.
