Tourism Review Online Magazine 1 / 2011

Dec 27, 2010

Dear readers,

 

Welcome to 2011! After the holidays spent with your family and friends you are probably ready for something unconventional. Why not to explore some of the underground attractions available? Open the Adventure supplement and let us inspire you with France’s Ice Age caves or Laos’ lost tunnel. Fishing may not seem adventurous at all to some people, yet it is growing in popularity among many tourists. Learn about the hot fish tourism destinations of these days in the Professional section.

Natural disasters and the ability of travel companies to join forces in critical situations – this is the theme of the Ethical supplement. Let’s have a look at the effects of tsunami, volcano eruption or torrential rains on the travel world. If you prefer a more peaceful topic go for Bulgaria and its tasty cuisine, sunny beaches and lovely countryside. Read more in the Destination part. First of all however open the Heritage supplement presenting several high level hotels that have been lucky enough to welcome several presidents and other celebrities in their facility. Enjoy the January magazine.
