We have come to the end of tectonics and are now moving rapidly onto tourism. To get you in the mood take the Travelers IQ challenge, more difficult than you would at first think!
If you are going to be a tourist you have to know where you are going so the following tetris style game on Europe, Statetris, just might ensure that you know your Balkans from your Bulgaria and your London from your Lisbon!
It is worth going to the Visited Countries website and then fill in all of the countries that you have visited in your life, it might suprise you especially when you consider your potential carbon footprint. I was suprised when I filled in mine!
It is worth thinking about the relationship between the growth of Globalisation and the ease with which we can travel around the world, especially important for those of you who will turn up in January with excuses why you didnt do your homework because you were in Brazil, Lisbon, Skiing....or whatever!
Being a tourist is increasingly beeing seen as a lifestyle choice, and some countries are marketing themselves very agressively, and it is no wonder because tourism is a multi billion dollar global industry that can effectively make or break some countries financially.
