Tourism Review Online Magazine 9 / 2007

Oct 29, 2007

Dear readers,

the November issue is finally here. Have you ever dreamt of being served by an invisible waiter? Would you like to try to eat your meal under the sea or even in complete darkness? Read about the unique and innovative restaurants of the world. For those who consider booking the chauffeur service for the next business trip there is the Transport section. How to choose the right company? What constitutes a good driver? By the way, what kind of people these chauffeurs really are? National parks are the topic for the Adventure part. It is known that popular tourist sites need to cope not only with the profits but also with the disastrous impact of tourism. What should the national park’s management consider? How can they cooperate with the tour operators? Shouldn’t they just close down the area and preserve it for the future? The last section of the magazine invites you to think about one of the branches of the travel trade – volunteer tourism. What do these trips consist of? What do the volunteers need to know? Can we help at all?
