New Year firework and impacts

New Year firework and impacts

From “Sydney kicks off New Year celebrations with seven tonnes of fireworks”

 

Sydney, the state capital city of New South Wales, Australia, which is one of the most important tourism cities in Australia, fired out seven tonnes of fireworks in their New Year celebrations. That was only one position in the global world. At New Year eve, how many tonnes of fireworks had been used? And how much air pollution and hard pollution had been made?

In some degree, the firework made the psychological joy for the people, which would make them feel a new beginning of a new year. However, the positive impact social impacts and economic impacts  - the firework products created more job opportunities; the firework show attracted more tourists - should also be considered with the negative impact on the environment. Though the article has not described the detail of the local government made the firework decision, hope that the negative impacts have been decreased to the minimum.

Tall ship season and Thames River Tourism

Tall ship season and Thames River Tourism

 

From the “Tall ships: the verdict” of GreenwichVisitors, and “Tourism should look to river” of GreenwichTime. The niche tourism of tall ships attracted a lot of tourist who were interested in their historical looking. It made people the feeling that they had come back to the past time, and joy in the river of history. The tall ship season also brought more job opportunities along the river. With these positive impacts, the Tall ship season can be understood as a good point in Thames River Tourism. After research, it may be decided as a necessary and special part of Thames River Tourism.

On the cover page of China Daily (European Weekly) 31 Oct to 6 Nov 2014, there showed a serious problem in China tourism market: the smog air pollution (smoke + fog, or smoke-create-fog) which was the main reason forced the foreign travelers turn their back to China tourism market.

        In this article, foreign tourists had created large amount and percent of tourism income for China tourism market. However, the trend was not sustainable, because of the air pollution problem. With the decreased image of China, not only may the foreign tourists come again, but also they will not show a good reflection of China to their families and friends, even show the image on the Internet. These reflections will terribly hurt China tourism market.

        To sum up, China tourism market and China Tourism Association should try to solve the environment problems before the new tourism promotion been show to the global world.
