World Tourism Day - “Reprinted from UNWTO News“ - www.unwto.org Issue 3/2010

PlusMuchMore@gmail.com (Alfred Penny) — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 05:13:00 +0000

I am delighted that the UN World Tourism Organization is celebrating this year’s World Tourism Day under the theme ‘Tourism and Biodiversity’.

Despite repeated global pledges to protect the planet’s species and habitats – and the goods and services they provide – the variety of life on Earth continues to decline at an unprecedented rate. Human activities are the cause. This year – the International Year of Biodiversity – provides a timely opportunity to focus on the urgency of safeguarding biodiversity for the wealth, health and well-being of people in all regions of the world.

Tourism and biodiversity are closely intertwined. Millions of people travel each year to experience nature’s
splendour. The income generated by sustainable tourism can provide important support for nature conservation, as well as for economic development. Furthermore, sustainable tourism can help to raise
awareness among tourists and local communities of the importance of biodiversity to our everyday lives.
Through initiatives such as its “Sustainable Tourism – Eliminating Poverty” project, and its collaboration
with the UN family, national tourism authorities and the private sector, the World Tourism Organization
is helping to highlight the links between tourism, poverty alleviation and biodiversity.

The tourism community is becoming increasingly aware of its responsibility. And indeed there is much the sector can contribute to protecting biodiversity, including by integrating simple measures such as managing tour groups to minimize disturbance to wildlife or buying supplies only from sustainable sources.

On this World Tourism Day, I commend the tourism community for its growing recognition of the importance of conserving the diversity of life on Earth, and I urge all partners to strengthen their commitment to sustainability.

Kamloops Heritage Days is fun for the whole family! Come and explore the beautifully restored heritage building of St. Andrews on the Square in downtown Kamloops. The site will host an array of activities that will range from musical concerts, historical lectures, geocaching historical sites, storytelling, heritage walking tours, and much.

The weekend long event is held in conjunction with The Kamloops Heritage Society, Kamloops Museum and Archives and The Cowboy Heritage Society. It is our hope to promote heritage appreciation for all ages and to provide an engaging experience dedicated to exploring our rich human history in the Kamloops region.

Thompson Okanagan emerges as a region for health and wellness vacations

Thompson Okanagan emerges as a region for health and wellness vacations

This article about our region just makes me want to explore it all, even more than before and I have spent most of 66 years vacationing and living in the area. What a mine of new little treasures CLAIRE NEWELL, the article's author has brought to our attention.

I had not thought of Thompson Okanagan as a destination for health and wellness vacations in her sense of the words. To me personally its been a place for the outdoors; fishing, hunting, hiking, camping and boating, all healthy activities I guess, but "spa-ing". I've never been to a spa. Being a male I just never thought it was my thing.

The one little treasure I thought pertinent to me living in Kamloops is her very short descrition of the

An Events Clearinghouse is necessary in Kamloops

PlusMuchMore@gmail.com (Alfred Penny) — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 07:02:00 +0000

We need one consolidating place where ALL Kamloops Events and 'THINGS TO DO' are listed, where you can gain complete information about the activity well ahead of time to decide to go where you can find comments about it from others, and see if it is worth your time and/or money.

Sure, events are listed ever buywhere, scattered among the various media: newspapers, radio, tv, internet, newsletters and other mail, brochures, handouts, posters, word of mouth. Often these events are found too late to make a decision to go or not. but no list is complete. No one has consolidated all in one location then advertised and promoted that one site lists to the whole city and area.

Also say you did find out about an event, sounded li
