And what about related "industries" not tallied in discussins of size ... does the aviation industry build those planes just to fly empty? And cruise ships, moeny spent in hotel construction, payroll, shopping, etc. <br /><br />Bottom line is that there is no one who can reasonably estimate global economic impact nor spending for travel ... <br /><br />Who's is the biggest doesn't really count when no onme has produced an adequate measuring stick!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15565168000906371409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437191971020115071.post-84634590129118965862009-08-17T15:37:05.092-07:002009-08-17T15:37:05.092-07:00Thanks for this - I too am marking term papers an...Thanks for this - I too am marking term papers and this claim raised questions for me which your site answered so quickly.Appreciate!!bmackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07472714969775528055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437191971020115071.post-28178931936604668672009-08-15T06:35:00.302-07:002009-08-15T06:35:00.302-07:00This is refreshingly usefull.This is refreshingly usefull.nabilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01264560204461278911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437191971020115071.post-39682528030063704282009-08-07T22:33:02.680-07:002009-08-07T22:33:02.680-07:00I chanced upon to view your blog and found it very...I chanced upon to view your blog and found it very interesting as well as very informative, i was need such type information, which you have submitted.

I'm currently in Japan conducting research for my dissertation and I thought a long time about posting occasional descriptions of the work I'm doing. In the end, though, the constant writing required put me off of the idea of writing more in my 'free time.' <BR/><BR/>What I like about the idea of blogging, though, is that all of the pressure that accompanies a lot of academic-style writing can be thrown out the window, allowing a more honest, immediate flow of ideas. <BR/><BR/>Looking back almost a year after starting this research, I wish I had written a weekly or even monthly blog, so that my family and friends could have some idea of what I've been up to. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing the results of this informal study, Alan.<BR/><BR/>Chris McMorran<BR/>University of ColoradoChris McMorranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10079771658038926316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437191971020115071.post-88693142979993368112007-06-04T04:31:00.000-07:002007-06-04T04:31:00.000-07:00I find your Collaborative blog-concept very intere...I find your Collaborative blog-concept very interesting!<BR/>You are completly right when you deal with geography focuses. <BR/>Human and physical approaches make definitly Geography the science of 21st century.<BR/>I look forward to reading your next articles.thegardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16838291822653448248noreply@blogger.com
