You'll be surprised how many people will then find their own way to you - especially if what you're offering is unique. <img src="http://www.artyforum.info/forum/smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" alt="Wink" /><br><br>Regards<br>Gary<br><a href="http://www.kohtaosimpleliferesort.com" target="_blank">Sairee Beach Koh Tao Resort</a><br>]]>

The idea is to enabletravelers to experience the world through the eyes of its local peoplewhile contributing directly to those people, ensuring that touristdollars benefit the local community directly.<strong><br><br>Humane tourism</strong>is about giving opportunity to the local people, empower them, enablethem to enjoy the fruits of tourism directly. The Internet is changingtourism. More and more travelers are planning their travels andvacations via the net. The Internet enables people to cut offcommissions. The traveler can search for new destinations to visit,talk or read about other people experience, and buy the servicesdirectly.<strong><br><br></strong>The Internet platform can encouragelocal people to start new businesses and that already existing smallbusinesses will begin to promote themselves through the net and receivethe economic advantages of this directly in their communities. Theworld is now in a new tourism age, with globalization and the Internetplaying a key role.<strong><br><br></strong>The new travelers havetraveled the world, they have seen the classic sites. Staying at aWestern hotel is not attractive enough, and they are excited by theprospect of experiencing the authentic local way of life: to go fishingwith a local fisherman, to eat the fish with his family, to sleep in atypical village house. These tourists or travelers, are happy to knowthat while doing so they promote the economic wellbeing of those samepeople they spend time with.]]>

For other uses, see Tourist (disambiguation).<br />Tourism is travel for recreational, leisure or business purposes. The World Tourism Organization defines tourists as people who "travel to and stay in places outside their usual environment for more than twenty-four (24) hours and not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes not related to the exercise of an activity remunerated from within the place visited".&#091;1&#093; Tourism has become a popular global leisure activity.
