When you have two groups of people from the same place migrating to a new area, will you have two different ways of life emerge, or will the two have the same ways of living?
When you have two groups of people from the same place migrating to a new area, will you have two different ways of life emerge, or will the two have the same ways of living? The British colonies of North America established in two different areas, New England and the Plantation South. Although the colonies are connected by their English roots, two different lifestyles emerged in America by the end of the 17th century. The colonies of North America had a promise of a "New World" where the colonists could build a new way of life. In New England, the colonists hoped to transplant their family and religion into the new colonies. The proprietors of Virginia wanted to profit quickly from colonization, bringing only men to the colonies in search of gold. The difference between the roots of the colonies is what create a divergence in their way of life in the future of the colonies The promise of the Jamestown seeding was in its gold and the passage to the Indies. The Virginia Company was financing the expedition, expecting to liquidate the company's assets for to capitalize on their profits. Instead, the Virginia colony prolonged its longevity by finding a gold in the form of Tobacco. Tobacco was labor intensive and required a vast amount of land. This created the need for laborers. Indentured servants began arriving soon to work for the planters to pay for their passage to the

HOLIDAYS TO FAR OFF PLACES OR EXOTIC LOCATIONS ARE BECOMING MORE POPULAR. DESCRIBE THE REASONS FOR GROWTH OF SUCH HOLIDAYS AND USING THE EXAMPLE OF A LESS ECONOMICAL DEVELOPED COUNTRY, OUTLINE THE PHYSICAL, CULTURAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF THE GROWTH OF TOURISM AND SUGGEST WHAT COULD BE DONE TO LIMIT THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF INCREASING TOURISM AND ENSURE THAT SUCH GROWTH IS SUSTAINABLE IN SUCH PLACES. BY SNITA LAL Introduction This piece of coursework is based on the tourism industry in less economically developed countries (L.E.D.C). I am going to explain why many exotic holiday destinations are becoming more and more popular with tourists and what effects are occurring to the culture of that land. I will use Kenya as my case study to demonstrate these effects. People in general are going on more holidays because overall people are wealthier and can afford to go. Tourism has increased because the average monthly manual wage in 2002 is 50 times more of that in 1950. In 1950 it was £23.28 and now it is £1,203.40 the reason for such a big increase is because of inflation. YEAR AVERAGE WEEKLY WAGE 973 £32 2001 £380 There is much more leisure time available this is because of the shorter working hours. People have longer holidays which can be booked at any time during the year. Most employers give their employees 4 weeks paid holidays, which gives them an
Examine the causes and consequences of the rise in manufacturing in NICs
Outline the main characteristics of assembly industries: Assembly industries are those that manufacture consumer products ready for the market on a very large scale and were used to increase productivity within these industries. Henry Ford was the entrepreneur who pioneered this idea during the boom after the Second World War, he adopted this strategy whereby all parts of the finished product were standardised and productive efficiency was increased by use of machinery, the assembly line, and simplification of tasks carried out by the human workforce, whereby the product moved from person to person, or machine on a continuous line rather than other way round. This resulted in physically demanding and repetitive, tedious tasks for workers, who also had very little creative or significant input into the production of the whole finished product, thus turnover of employees was high. Under this regime Ford managed to increase productivity by 1000%, allowing him to increase production, experience economies of scale and thus lower prices and increase wages. However in recent years the manufacturing and consumer industry has shifted production to NIC countries and therefore the characteristics of the industry have changed and adapted to suit the new environments and markets. There are other strategies of assembly line production than Fordism, including the Toyotist approach,
Outline the various impacts that skiing/tourism has had on the alpine area.
Task 1 : outline the various impacts that skiing/tourism has had on the alpine area The popularization of ski resorts has obviously led to the increase in number of people using the centres thought the various seasons. The increase in use of the ski resorts has brought with it many disadvantages as well as many advantages. The main disadvantages and advantages are outlined below: Economic instability: in hard times, poor economy, and ever changing trends and fashions, ski resorts and holidays in general would be the first to suffer. Just imagine if tourism were to cease in a ski resort- the resort would not be able to survive. Jobs would be lost and many companies could possibly go into dept. Habitat Destruction: increases in tourism has meant that ski resorts have shelled out on new buildings, such as hotels, ski lifts, chalets, recreational grounds and holiday homes. All this development has led to pollution of the environment, both physically and visually. Also coinciding with the buildings are the construction of roads. Increased tourism has led to more vehicles in the area also leading to more air pollution. The surges of growth in tourism have also pushed for new ski lifts and ski runs to be built. In order for these to be built- large areas of forestry has to be cleared away. In induces the process of deforestation and is often the cause to disaster. With the
Case Study: An Overpopulated Country - Bangladesh
Explain the need for alternative forms of tourism and discuss its advantages and disadvantages Alternative forms of tourism generally refer to any form of tourism not related to that of mass tourism, of which in other words, it is the counter-part of mass tourism. It is a general concept and does not have a precise definition. Alternative tourism contrasts markedly with mass tourism in terms of scale, organisation, type of tourist and speed of development. In alternative tourism, small numbers of individual travelers are catered for often by independent specialist operators or by local communities. The development of this form of tourism is small scale, often using locally provided accommodation. Tourists involved in alternative tourism usually seek novelty and experience that are different from that provided by mass tourism, for instance some tourists seek alternative forms of tourism to avoid the crowds associated with mass tourism. Examples of alternative forms of tourism include nature tourism and eco-tourism. The need for alternative tourism can be summed up as follows. Some travellers are getting bored and dissatisfied with traditional mass tourism destinations, and hope to seek out unique, pristine destinations. Also, the growth of global environmental awareness and the conservation movement increases travellers' awareness of problems associated with mass tourism.
What is PEST Analysis?
What is PEST Analysis? It is very important that an organization considers its environment before beginning the marketing process. In fact, environmental analysis should be continuous and feed all aspects of planning. The organization's marketing environment is made up from: . The internal environment e.g. staff (or internal customers), office technology, wages and finance, etc. 2. The micro-environment e.g. our external customers, agents and distributors, suppliers, our competitors, etc. 3. The macro-environment e.g. Political (and legal) forces, Economic forces, Sociocultural forces, and Technological forces. These are known as PEST factors. Political Factors The political arena has a huge influence upon the regulation of businesses, and the spending power of consumers and other businesses. You must consider issues such as: . How stable is the political environment? 2. Will government policy influence laws that regulate or tax your business? 3. What is the government's position on marketing ethics? 4. What is the government's policy on the economy? 5. Does the government have a view on culture and religion? 6. Is the government involved in trading agreements such as EU, NAFTA, ASEAN, or others? Economic Factors Marketers need to consider the state of a trading economy in the short and long-terms. This is especially true when planning for international
China's Economy and its development
China's Economy and its development Development is a key point raised in the article and how this may burn out. The indicator that is commonly used throughout the article to assess the growth of China is GDP (Gross domestic product, which is the value of everything produced in the economy in a year including expenditure taxes). Growth usually increases a countries development. This is one of many ways of measuring economic development in a country. The figures show us that the economy of China has increased as China's GDP 'grew by 9% in the year (2003) to the third quarter.' This is showing a growth in the Chinese economy as the GDP has increased. Although there limitations of using the GDP as the sole indicator of development. The GDP does not take into account who the money is generated by and who it is distributed to as you may have the extreme rich and the extreme poor. The extreme rich may generate a huge amount of the GDP yet only represent a very small amount of the population. The GDP may not be an accurate view of people's economic welfare and also the welfare of the country. Other indicators could be used such as the human development index (which is a score based on life expectancy, adult literacy/education enrolment and GDP per capita, PPP$) birth rates, population growth, literacy rates energy consumption etc.... The way the use of the GDP could be improved to
Changes to Stoke Bruerne between(1800 - 2001)
Changes to Stoke Bruerne between (1800 - 2001) Stoke Bruerne was a small farming and market village. The main function of Stoke Bruerne changed because of transport. The Grand Junction canal got its act of parliament in 1793. (Canal side walk). The canal had a major impact on the village of Stoke Bruerne. The village of Stoke Bruerne developed around the canal. (Maps). Before the canal arrived, Stoke Bruerne was a very small-populated area with about 150 people living in, what was a very agricultural village. The first major canal was built between London and Birmingham, this runs through the village of Stoke Bruerne. (Visit). There was a major objection to this plan by the Rector, the two plans that were drawn up went straight through the middle of his garden cutting it in two. He lost his battle and the chosen plan went ahead. When the canal was built the canal company built the Rector a bridge so that he could walk from one side of his garden to the other. (Visit). When the canal was built many jobs were created and with it people to fill the vacancies. (Whittaker Minutes). Houses were built for the people who worked on the canal, this was the start of Stoke Bruerne becoming a busy area during the canal era. (Visit). The boats struggled to get across the canal and so pathways were made either side of the canal so horses could walk along pulling the boats behind

E3 A full explanation of the present structure of the UK Travel and Tourism Industry, giving suitable examples In this section of my coursework, I am going to investigate the scale of the UK Travel and Tourism industry. I will be looking at:- * Tourist Attractions * Accommodation and Catering * Tourism development and promotion * Transportation * Travel Agents, in terms of multiples, independents and functions and products * Tour Operations, in terms of mass market, specialist and domestic incoming Tourist Attractions Tourist attractions are a vital component in the UK travel and tourism industry. There was an estimated 396 million visits to UK tourist attractions in 1998. Some attractions are run by the private sector for profit, like Madame Tussaud's and others are run by the public sector. There are many different types of attraction in the UK ranging from small heritage sites to major leisure centres and theme parks. A lot of people like to travel to a place with a cluster of attractions like Blackpool, it has the fair ground, ice-skating rink, shops, The Sandcastle water park and many other attractions so people prefer to go to somewhere with a lot of different things to do and choose from rather than go to a destination that has only one kind of entertainment.

Hand-Dug Wells in Ghana are an example of small scale, local,
Hand-Dug Wells in Ghana are an example of small scale, local, sustainable development projects. Describe the advantages of this scheme Hand-dug wells are an alternative to collecting muddy, diseased water a long way away. Here are some advantages of having this kind of access to this type of water: o Less time is spent collecting water from far away so people have more time on their hands. Children can go to school and receive education which means they can eventually get better jobs which could in the long-term help Ghana to develop. Adults can have more time on their hands. This may enable them to get a job and earn more money for their family which could improve the quality of their life. They could spend more time preparing food which may give the family a more balanced diet enabling them to live a long and healthy life. Young children can be looked after and if they are ill they have time to nurse them back to health. Without the journey to fetch water people feel much less tired giving them more energy for other things. o If there is access to clean water and diseases are not likely to be spread around, people are more likely to apply for jobs in the village. There may be more teachers in a school, so pupils receive more attention when learning. If a villager begins to employ people from elsewhere, he will be able to do more work therefore may be able to expand his
