Author: employmentcros Added: Fri, 26 Sep 2008 04:34:16 -0800 Duration: 245www.EmploymentCrossing.com Today the US House of Representatives passed the "Travel Promotion Act of 2008," which would create thousands of new jobs and spur economic growth nationwide by attracting millions of additional international travelers to the United States. In recent years, foreign tourists have found ever-changing security policies and negative foreign press coverage to be a deterrent to visiting the United States. "We now call on the U.S. Senate to act quickly to reverse the decline in overseas visitation to the United States and utilize the power of travel to strengthen the American economy, said lobbyist Roger Dow of the Travel Industry Association or TIA. H.R. 3232 establishes a public-private partnership to promote the United States as a premier international travel destination and to communicate U.S. security and entry policies. The bill specifies that travel promotion would be provided at no cost to U.S. taxpayers, by private sector contributions and a modest fee on foreign travelers. Two million fewer overseas travelers visited the United States in 2007 than in 2000. The decline in overseas travel since 9/11 has cost America 46 million visitors, $140 billion in lost visitor spending and $23 billion in lost tax revenue, according to the TIA.

Airline Stocks Fly Through the Downturn Looking for a safe haven in today's jittery stock market? ...

On transpositions and voodle lexemes
from spacetwo : patalab September 16, 2008
Click for video: Quicktime / .m4v for iPod / Direct streaming for Pc at Blip.tv "The Transposition Hypothesis splits all derivation, lexical and inflectional alike, into three processes: lexical (L-) derivation, inflectional (I-) derivation, and morphological Voodle. Derivation involves operations on abstract lexical and inflectional category functions such as [+Plural, -Singular], [+Past, -Present], [+1st], and the like. Voodling is the purely visual realisation of the morphological categories of any Voodle base lexeme which has undergone such derivation. Its function is to distinguish Voodle stems which have undergone derivation from those which have not." Transposing selected voodles from the webscreen to an exclusive out-door screening, Sam Renseiw joined the Lomeg_Rom's and the Lumiere founders for a cool event at "Kuba" in Oslo.

from Travelography August 29, 2008
Stories discussed in this podcast are from the Travelography Twitter Blog for the week of 25 August 2008. This podcast is also available at Blubrry.com and Travelgeography.info. Macau, the fastest-growing destination in 2008 More than 1.5 million international visitors have come to Macau in the first six months of this year, a 46.5 % jump over the same period last year. This does not include the 8.8 million Mainland residents who visited in the same period, according to the Macau Government Tourist Office. European countries warn tourists against violence in Mexico The German Foreign Ministry advised its citizens not to resist if they fell victim to any crime in Mexico, because that might threaten their lives. Criminal acts in Mexico have surged considerably recently and unfortunately, police forces are involved in the violence, said the German government. Italy Mulls Tougher Crackdown as Tourists Attacked The Italian government was considering ordering more troops on to the streets Tuesday after two brutal attacks on tourists within three days during an already tough crackdown against crime, according to a newspaper report. Crete mayor asks British government to act on drunken tourists They scream, they sing, they fall down, they take their clothes off, they cross-dress, they vomit, ... It's only the British people - not the Germans or the French. His anger echoed the frustration felt by the residents of many Mediterranean resorts, who have watched helplessly while their town centres are invaded by hordes of carousing British teenagers. Iraq plans giant Ferris wheel, hopes to lure tourists to Baghdad It would be 650 feet high - even taller than the wheel that overlooks London's River Thames. We hope to attract a great number of customers who will be able to see the whole city and enjoy the restaurants and pools on the ground below, ... Eight million people at risk of ID fraud after credit card details are stolen by hotel chain hackers An Indian hacker broke into the IT system of Best Western Hotel Group and stole personal details of everyone who has stayed there in the past 12 months. The details, which included home addresses, phone numbers, place of employment and credit card details, were sold on through an underground network controlled by the Russian Mafia. Best Western Responds to Sunday Herald Story Claiming Security Breach We have found no evidence to support the sensational claims ultimately made by the reporter and newspaper. Most importantly, whereas the reporter asserted the recent compromise of data for past guests from as far back as 2007, Best Western purges all online reservations promptly upon guest departure.
