Tourism Review Online Magazine 8 / 2010

Aug 30, 2010

Dear readers,

 

Welcome back! After the long summer Tourism Review is pleased to release another issue of our travel magazine. This time two supplements focus on social responsibility of the tourism industry. The Ethical part discusses CSR and presents some examples of hotels and tour operators devoted to the concept of responsible tourism. The Professional supplement on the other hand focuses on the meetings industry and the latest trend embraced by many – the greening.

If you feel like exploring the ‘eastern block’ go to the Destination part devoted to Poland and its tourism industry. Visit the mysterious city of Kłodzko, choose among the 13 UNESCO sites on offer or go to Warsaw and see how the capital and other Polish cities are getting ready for Euro 2012. Unique design is the theme of the Heritage part inviting you to stay in the quirky hotels of Copenhagen, Amsterdam, China or Kuwait. Travelers seeking a little bit of adrenalin holiday on the other hand should open the Adventure supplement introducing fascinating and dangerous volcanoes attracting explorers from the whole world. Enjoy the issue!
