The Williams Institute, an LGBT-related think-tank at the University of
California, Los Angeles, has the latest estimate on how many marriage
equality-related tourism dollars will roll into New York State in the first
year gay couples can marry there: $155 million.

YAN’AN, China — The explosives had been set, the watchtower manned and
the dirt battlefield cleared of rubble. Communist soldiers armed with
rifles took up positions at the foot of the barren hills. Their foes, the
Kuomintang, loomed in the distance, advancing on the garrison town of Yan’

炸药装好了，人也上了瞭望塔上，泥土战场上清除了垃圾。荒山脚下，紧握步枪的共产

how should the tourism industry work?
as tourists we want to experience something unique to the area, otherwise
there is no point wasting air tickets. but I think the true traveler wants
to see the real life of the locals instead of some fabricated Guang1Xian1

the meeting represents an unwanted intrusion into its domestic affairs. But
most Americans still see the Dalai Lama as the representative of a people

影片中，汤唯饰演的“拜金女”文佳佳为了给孩子一个“美利坚公民”的身份，不

为期10日的同性恋周，在 2009年时﹐成功向联邦政府其中一个刺激经济拨款的Marquee Tourism Events Program申请40万元拨款。翌年﹐主办单位欲邀请一些知名度较高的表演嘉宾﹐并同时改善场地设施﹑加强市场推广以及培训义工等﹐遂将申请拨款额提升至63万元。
联邦工业部属下的The Tier Advisory Committee经研究后﹐发现对上一年主办单位获得联邦拨款后﹐成功将参加同性恋游行的游客数量增加20万人﹐游客花费亦上升600万元。若主办单位今次再取得拨款﹐游客有望再增加27.5万人﹐将参加者总数升至150万人。
根据一份内部文件指出﹐负责审批拨款的委员会认为﹐同性恋周符合申请要求及拨款计划的目的﹐并于同年4月将之连同其余几个项目列入可得拨款名单上。可是事隔1个月﹐当局公布名... 阅读全帖 |

而美国商家也对吸引加拿大游客信心十足。因为加币越来越值钱，购买力增强。 十年前加币兑换美元汇率仅为1加币换65美分，当时加拿大游客仅占旅馆客人的25%；现在加币升值反超美元，吸引了越来越多的加拿大人南下旅游，游客比例占到四分之三。
世界新闻网据加通社美国缅因州29日电，一面加拿大国旗飘扬在美国缅因州新英格兰（New England，Maine）北部户外海滩的汽车旅馆套房外，引来北部边境魁北克省的游客前往。在汽车旅馆套房内，条例均用英语和法语标标注，目的是方便魁北克游客阅读。
旅馆主人表示，通过地势之便，依赖另一个国家的游客拉动经济增长很幸运。
缅因州的新英格兰由于地处美加边境，很多商业倚重加拿大。去年约有440万加拿大游客来过夜旅行，所占比例为19%。

有获授予办理ADS团体的加拿大旅行业者说，「真正抵达大温旅行的中国游客人数其实比官方统计数字多」，并分析原因指出，中国游客通常会把握约15天的出国旅游机会，同时游览美国及加拿大两国多个城市，如果不是直接自温哥华入境，即不会被列入统计，使统计上会产生误差。

●据美国媒体去年5月进行的一次民调显示，49%的美国公民支持“出生公民权”，46%的人表示反对
5月底，刚登上由洛杉矶飞广州航班的林嘉颖(化名)就被身边的情景吓了一跳：10多个年轻的中国妈妈，不时哄着怀里刚出生的婴儿，整个机舱里婴儿啼哭声此起彼伏，响成一片。虽然早有耳闻，但阔别老家已经13年的她才从亲戚口中证实，越来越多的中国妈妈热衷到美国生一个“美国公民”。
记者发现，随着香港公立医院从今年4月9日起不再接收内地孕妇政策一出，虽然仍有香港私立医院开出高价房来招徕内地孕妇，但在一些中产家庭，“赴港产子”的热度已渐渐被“赴美产子”代替。在不少移民中介内，“赴美产子”的生育之旅(Birth Tourism)也成了新增业务，被广泛关注。

CHENGDU B1/B2 VALIDATION STUDY
¶1. (U) SUMMARY: Consulate Chengdu's Fraud Prevention Unit
(FPU) conducted a validation study of all private Chinese

8. Chinese
Identifying travel feature: Independent travel is still a rarity for Chinese
vacationers. Most tour in organized groups, being bellowed at by a guide
with a megaphone standing less than a meter away.
Commendable habits: Ready, willing and very able to eat anything you put in
front of them … and appreciate it like a local.
Oh, yes, and money. While tourism is suffering in the global economic
downturn, the Chinese are still... 阅读全帖 |

［法国租车在尼斯海滨公路被砸，后背箱中所有相机被盗损失惨重！］
派驻法国工作期间，我和同事在法国开的车在尼斯海滨公路街头车窗被砸得粉碎，锁在
后背箱中的所有行李被盗，损失惨重，护照、现金、信用卡、相机、机票、笔记本、衣
物悉数被盗。可笑的是这个位处市中心地带的闹市十字路口既没有监控摄像，也不见一
个巡警，电话报警当地警察居然不管不问，拒不出现场，到几公里外的警局报案，警员
打印完报警失物报告就要撵我们出警局，稍多说几句就惹其变得很恼怒。这是什么样的
文明国家，这就是法兰西所标榜的自由、平等、博爱？
事后跟当地的华人朋友了解到法国的治安管理完全不是想象当中的情况，法国人因为个
人隐私问题等的反对，... 阅读全帖 |

1. Economics was originally called 'political economy'
Economics is politics and it can never be a science. Yet the dominant
neoclassical school of economics succeeded in changing the name of the
discipline from the traditional 'political economy' to 'economics' at the
turn of the 20th Century. The Neoclassical school wanted economics to become
a pure science, shorn of political (and thus ethical) dimensions that
involve subjective value judgments. Th... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 61690 | 46 中新网2月19日电 据《澳洲日报》报道，中国的羊年让悉尼的酒店业一开年就“洋洋得
意”，很多酒店在本周都接近客满状态，而且酒店房间的价格也比平日贵了最高逾一倍。
拥有包括Sofitel Sydney Wentworth、Pullman Sydney Hyde Park和Novotel
Sydney Central等酒店的Accor称，在中国农历新年的第一天——周四(19日)，它位于
CBD的酒店入住率达到了95%。该公司位于悉尼大都市区的酒店房间的周四晚预订率也超
过了90%。但2月19日只是新年庆典的开始而已。
在2月份的最后2周，Accor的城市酒店的平均入住率预计将超过97%，而大都市地区
的酒店入住率也会超过91%。该公司的一名女发言人称，今年的情况比去年同期要“好
得多”。去年春节期间，该集团城市酒店的平均入住率为88%，大都市区的酒店入住率
则为80%。
由于需求大增，酒店房间的价格也就跟着水涨船高。Accor的女发言人称，当前的
涨价反映了酒店房价的“动态”性质。但她也补充说，中国的春节只是“推动因素之一
”。“总体而言，悉尼的2月份是一个非常繁忙的月份。所有的公司以及会... 阅读全帖 |

"In a clumsy move to get out of his 'anchor babies' dilemma, where he signed
that he would not use the term and now uses it, he blamed ASIANS," Trump
wrote.
"Asians are very offended that JEB said that anchor babies applies to them
