China still responsible.<br /><p></p><p>The Pandemic identified as a virus generated in China and not clearly identified to the World has created misery, dispair, economic destruction, suspicion, and divide around the world. Let's face it. Nobody has a handle on it. All the rhetoric by so called scholars, Medical Gurus et al has shown squat. The Pandemic rages. Vaccine maybe on the horizon. Efforts to curtail the virus fails. Shutdowns are killing people from more maladies than the Virus itself. In the Tourism Industry it is economic death. Small operators that make up most of the Industry around the world have gone out of business are are attempting to hang on with Government financial assistance. Won't work. The governments do not have enough money to keep failing Mom and Pop attractions, restaurants, resorts, hotels and airlines alive. This is serious stuff. Having been in this business for over fifty years never has there been such an attack on human potential. It is becoming a wasteland. Politicians are fools. The Guru's have mostly proven incompetent. The individual has better sense than the Morons leading the not so good defeat of this killer Virus. I put my bets on the individuals to rise above. Yes many will die but we will prevail. Tourism will return but don't look for it to stabilize until about 2024. In the mean time. Help your family, your neighbour cope. Life has changed for ever. Politicians need to eat their own. They have proven worthless. China needs to be held accountable. This was clearly no accident. It was an assault on the World's economy. So far looks like they are getting away with it. Not in my camp. </p></div>TRAVELSAPIENhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02806009178009448723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9689221.post-67876729740055680932020-06-25T11:41:00.000-07:002020-06-25T11:41:16.643-07:00TRAVELSAPIEN EXPERIENTAL TRAVELEveryone is awaiting this terrible Virus becomes history but for now it is still a fatal disease waiting for new hosts. The Travel Ban truly is keeping people alive. For the industry unfortunately it has been a calamity. Will Travel return with a boom or a tepid finger in the water? It will take some time.<br />
Financially it will change the face of International interaction with fellow human beings. For many decades travelers have felt immune from serious killer viruses however this is a wake up call. There is always going to be a new death threat to our species. Stay alert. Stay safe. See you soon out and about in some land somewhere.<br />

Most Tourism Stakeholders do not take visual selling seriously. Hotels for the most part have amatuer one dimentional pancake reproduction, bad editing, and clearly equipment used is not adequate. CHANGE IT FOR ALMOST THE SAME PRICE. My recommendation is that I LEAVE IT TO OZ. World Class International Filmmaker that creates screen magic. Raise your sites. The return is higher revenue. Food & Beverage a major part of Tourism. Show us what you got. <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;"> </span><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=https://vimeo.com/149926423&source=gmail&ust=1509065913432000&usg=AFQjCNGS_pYOjECVjaYuPcZ36iandidqLQ" href="https://vimeo.com/149926423" style="background-color: white; color: #1155cc; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" target="_blank">https://vimeo.com/<wbr></wbr>149926423</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;"> </span><br />

The art is now reserved for the very few who still practice using Eagles as their weapon on a hunt. A noble art indeed. There is hope the tradition will continue as there are fewer such bonds between man and independent free flyers like these beautiful Eagles.<br />

Cartagena has a colorful past both exciting and sometimes dark. Here are the gates slaves brought from Africa past through before being sold and dispersed throughout the country. A sad moment in history indeed. On the other hand Cartagena has a rich history inclusive of the later freed slaves, with cultural drama, music, food, and a continued strong link to Africa by many of the decendants. Meanwhile Cartagena has become the flower of the coast for Colombians whom are frequent visitors. Cruiseships also stop.<br />

Spanish and Indigenous built this little stone church is still used today. It sits on a flat are of Inca stonework. Prior to the church, built in around the 1500 era there was Inca temples and playgrounds located here. It is an experience to stand on this stie and think of the civilizations past. The Church ICONS are all original from the 1500 date. In the stone bell tower there is indeed a bell still rung on special days. A must see in La Paz.<br />

Philosophy</h1>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">
Good living means having the opportunity of enjoying solutions and services that allow citizens to live their town in an easy and pleasant way.<br />
<br />
<br />
Living slow means being slowly hasty ; “festina lente” latins used to say, seeking everyday the “modern times counterpart” in other words looking for the best of the knowledge of the past and enjoying it thanks to the best possibilities of the present and of the future.<br />
<br />
All of this will result in technological opportunities, modern solutions in communication, transportation, incoming, production and selling.<br />
<br />
At present living and managing a Slowcity is just a particular way of carrying on an ordinary life-style rather than today’s trends.<br />
<br />
Of course this way is meant to be, less frantic, yelding and fast; but there is no doubt that it will be more human, environmentally correct and sensible for the present and future generations; the project will respect small realities in a more and more global connected world.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span class="titolo_medio_arancio" style="color: #ef8200; font-family: "georgia" , "times"; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">Slow for a better life</span><br />
<br />
We are looking for “towns where men are still curious of the old times, towns rich of theatres, squares, cafes, workshops, restaurants and spiritual places, towns with untouched landscapes and charming craftsman where people are still able to recognize the slow course of the Seasons and their genuine products respecting tastes, health and spontaneous customs...." (from Cittaslow Manifesto).<br />
<br />
<br />
For this reason Slow Food has always sought the quality of life and made those things the main source of its success and of its worldwide expansion; Slow Food, together with those cities which mirror themselves in its ideals, have built the Cittaslow international network.<br />
<br />
In times of “fast”, of production and of pressing velocity, carrying on such a goal seems to be an utopia; many majors coming from different towns have joined together and as well as with Slow Food in order to create the Cittaslow’s huge common project.<br />
<br />
The movement has expanded to 100 towns and 10 countries all over the world since 1999, connecting administrators, citizens and Slow Food partners. He common goal is to have mutual experiences focusing on gourmet food, incoming, services qualities and on the environment.<br />

The Slow Cities movement promotes the use of technology oriented to improving the quality of the environment and of the urban fabric, and in addition the safe-guarding of the production of unique foods and wine the contribute to the character of the region.<br />
<br />
<br />
In addition, Slow Cities seek to promote dialog and communication between local producers and consumers. With the overarching ideas of environmental conservation, the promotion of sustainable development, and the improvement of the urban life, Slow Cities provide incentives to food production using natural and environmentally-friendly techniques (one method for this promotion is through the Presidia).<br />
<br />
The designation “Slow City” will become the mark of quality for smaller communities (only those with less than 50,000 residents may apply). Slow Cities are not state capitals or the seat of regional governments, but are strong communities that have made the choice to improve the quality of life for their inhabitants.</div>
