Book Description
In the Soviet Union and the eastern bloc, the idea of "vacation" was never as uncomplicated as throwing some suitcases in the car and heading for the beach. The emphasis was on individual self-improvement within the framework of the collective, an approach manifest in everything from the scheduling of physical exercise to the group tours organized for factory workers, Party cadres, and other segments of society. Like other Soviet-style utopian projects, socialist tourism, which was often heavily laden with rules and prescriptions, was a consciousness-raising project, part of the vast effort to forge new socialist men and women. Turizm is the first book to examine the history of tourism in Russia and eastern Europe from the tsarist period to the age of Soviet and east European mass tourism in the 1960s and 1970s. The contributors to this volume address topics including the roots of socialist tourism, the role of tourism in the making of nations and maintenance of empire, and ways in which the men and women of the "margins of Europe" understood themselves in relation to "Europe." Especially interesting are chapters that show how individuals pursued their own consumerist goals within the framework of collective tourism, obliging the regimes to adapt. Illustrated with period photographs and promotional materials, Turizm will appeal not only to historians of the region but also to anyone with an interest in consumer culture, travel, leisure, and nation-building.

At War's Summit

Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108684173
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 457
Book Description
This is the story of the highest battlefield of World War Two, which brings to life the extremes endured during this harsh mountain warfare. When the German war machine began faltering from a shortage of oil after the failed Blitzkrieg against the Soviet Union, the Wehrmacht launched Operation Edelweiss in the summer of 1942, a bold attempt to capture the Soviet oilfields of Grozny and Baku and open the way to securing the vast reserves of Middle Eastern oil. Hitler viewed this campaign as the key to victory in World War Two. Mountain warfare requires unique skills: climbing and survival techniques, unconventional logistical and medical arrangements and knowledge of ballistics at high altitudes. The Main Caucasus Ridge became the battleground that saw the elite German mountain divisions clash with the untrained soldiers of the Red Army, as they fought each other, the weather and the terrain.

Book Description
Turizmin ayrılmaz bir unsuru, bir ülkenin Seyahat ve Turizm endüstrisinin rekabet gücünü belirleyen kritik bir unsur olan, turistlerin emniyeti ve güvenliğidir. Bu nedenle, turistlerin emniyet ve güvenliği, dünyadaki tüm ülkeler için bir ulusal güvenlik meselesi olmalıdır. Turizm Polisinin sadece turistler için değil aynı zamanda turizm sektörü için de emniyet ve güvenliği sağlama, bu konuda onlara yardımcı olma ve koruma sağlama hususunda önemli olduğuna ve turizm polisinin destinasyanlar hakkında olumlu imaj oluşturmasına yardımcı olduğuna inanılmaktadır. Böylece, turizm polisliğine yapılan herhangi bir yatırımın, destinasyonların ve ülkelerin ekonomik geleceğine yatırım olacağı aşikardır. “Turizm Güvenliği İçin Turizm Polisi: Polis Teşkilatları İçin Bir Model Önerisi” adlı bu kitap, ülkeler/destinasyonlar açısından dünyanın en çok tercih edilen turizm destinasyonlarından biri olma hedefi ile turizm polisi sistemi ve turizmde emniyet ve güvenlik konularına dikkat çekmesi açısından önemlidir. Bu bağlamda bu kitap, turizm emniyeti ve güvenliğine genel bir bakış sunmakta ve farklı ülkelerdeki polis teşkilatları için bir turizm polisi modeli önermeye odaklanmaktadır. Son olarak, kitapta destinasyonlarda turizm polisinin geliştirilmesi ve iyileştirilmesi için bazı pratik öneriler öne sürülmüştür. Kitabın içeriğinin, turizm emniyeti ve güvenliği konularına daha fazla yoğunlaşan ülkeleri ve kanun koyucuları destekleyeceği ve destinasyonlara uygun turizm polisi sistemini ve turistlerin ve turizm endüstrisinin emniyet ve güvenliğini sağlamadaki etkisini daha fazla yoğunlaştırması umulmaktadır. “Herkes için Emin ve Güvenli Turizm” sloganıyla daha emniyetli ve güvenli bir turizm ortamı oluşturmak için farklı ülkelerdeki Ulusal / Yerel Yönetimler tarafından bu kitaptaki tavsiyelerin ciddi bir şekilde dikkate alınacağı ve kendi ülkelerinde turism polisi sistemi kurmada son derece faydalı olacağı içtenlikle ümit edilmektedir.

Sustainability of Tourism
Author: Metin Kozak
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443832596
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
The subject of sustainability has become central to the discussion of how to succeed in the stable development of the tourism industry, due to the uncontrollable nature of supply and demand over the past few decades. Thus, this book examines policies and practices associated with the introduction of various methods in order to maintain sustainable tourism development. The list of policies and practices is based on a selection of the most recent topics, providing many real-world examples and cases in relation to culture and nature-based environmental issues, representing both individual businesses and tourist destinations with an international focus, namely Australia, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Portugal, South Korea, Taiwan, Turkey, and the USA. Structured with 15 chapters altogether, the principles and guidelines discussed apply equally to different product levels in tourism such as museums, cities, regions, and countries. This volume is intended as a supplementary textbook for further reading. The editors believe that the book will gain attention from colleagues worldwide because of relevant educational courses on sustainable tourism, environmental tourism and cultural heritage management.

Regional Economic Development in the Balkan Region
Author: Teoman Duman
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443887617
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 355
Book Description
This edited volume brings together original scientific studies on current economic and developmental issues in the Balkan region, and is composed of papers by 25 authors from seven different countries. The Balkan region has gained significant interest in recent years due to its location and strategic position, representing a doorway to Europe, and the region’s stability and progress have direct consequences on various European countries. Because of this strategic position, there is currently much debate regarding a potential partnership of the Balkan states with the European Union. This book offers insights into the current economic and developmental status of the countries in this region, offering a series of chapters that analyse the area from a variety of perspectives. It begins with a discussion on the recent history of the region, especially with reference to the former Yugoslavia and its break-up after the turbulence experienced in 1990s. Other sections are complementary to each other in that they offer comparisons of the Balkan states in their economic progress at the micro and macro levels. Topics such as European integration policies and effects, economic transition, regional trade, tax incentive policy, regional capital markets, regional development agencies and systems, remittances and foreign aid contributions, import-export policies, fiscal policies, analysis of regional microfinance, and the tourism sectors are explored in detail throughout the book.
