h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Seems this one is right up my street - I don't have time this second, but should prob get round to it this evening

Lanzababy.

The Entry on Tourists was updated by Gnomon in 2007. All the links are spot on.

The only thing I would like to do with this is write a small paragraph on eco-tourism - if I can write in similar vein to the original Entry. I'll have a go.

Oh and I would also like to add a reciprocal link to A54413615 'How to Enjoy a Beach Holiday'

Okay, give it a go and keep us posted! Shout if you need a hand.

Hi Vip and everyone!

If you have a moment can you read this bit? I also want to ask Gnomon for his opinion, as he was the last person to update the Tourists Entry.

If it passes your inspection, I can put it into GuideML and send it to Danny ( is that how you think we should do it btw )

A54413615 : How to Enjoy a Beach Holiday.

"about visiting the Galapagos or some other virgin territory, please do so by sailing yacht and try not to scare the wildlife"

I don't know what this means.

And growing up, a 'staycation' was when we stayed at home and had days out because we couldn't afford a holiday!

thanks Mina

I meant that you shouldn't use fossil fuel to get there, nor disturb the animals. I was looking at a website where you could do just that - - visit the Galapagos that is - for only $6,500 dollars per person for a few nights

I'll add the bit about what a staycation used to mean

Ah, I get it! I read it as sailing as a verb! I misread it.

That's okay! I did wonder. . .

?

I mis-read it as a verb too. I thought you meant 'sailing a yacht', as yacht tends to imply it has a sail.

I believe that staycation means stay at home (and thereby save on accomodation) and visit local attractions as if one were a tourist. It's less to do with carbon footprint and more to do with money!

There has been a rise in holidays taken in one's home country, but that's different to a staycation.
