- There’s been quite a lot of talk about social networking of late, with much of the discussion naturally centering on FOAF and XFN.

- There are many, so many places where the environment is not favourable to economic development and the creation of material wealth: lack of natural resources, unsuitable climate that hinders the development of agriculture, wild geographic features that block communications and travel, and above all dysfunctional governments and divided societies.Sometimes though, poor countries have natural or cultural assets that fuel what has become one of the world's most important industry, tourism.

Opportunities are not distributed on a macro-scale, opening wide gaps between those blessed by tourism and those not. |
