Tourism Review Online Magazine - VIII / 2009 31.08.2009

Dear readers

Have you ever thought about opening a special restaurant that would make everyone twitter about? Did you think about Hobbit Restaurant, Prison Restaurant or even Dark Restaurant? They are all there. Read the Heritage part for some inspiration. Many restaurants make use of the many advantages of internet booking and they are not the only ones in the travel world. Internet became a great source of information as well as revenue. Read the Professional supplement about the role of the net in today’s travel trade.

The Medical part focuses on the various differences in the terms and concepts the spa industry uses around the world. For those who are not really into baths, massages and similar stuff and seek something more active – check out the Adventure supplement devoted to whale watching trips, equestrian holidays, and unique tours like “Dinner with Tasmanian Devil”. If you want more, let us invite you to the country with pristine nature but also serious economical problems. Bangladesh offers adventurous holidays, sightseeing, nature tours, but also a portrait of a land facing political instability and poverty.
