"Tourism enriches individuals, families, communities and all the world." The aims of "Tourism Enriches" campaign are to promote tourism as a basic human right and way of life, to stimulate communication about the benefits of tourism as the most prospective economic activity for the local communities and countries, to enhance cooperation between destinations and the tourism industry with the local, regional and international media and to link individual tourism entities to the larger community of international tourism. This is a central, simple but straight-forward message of the new awareness campaign with which the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) wants to raise awareness of the positive impacts tourism can have on life, culture and economy, in short on society at all levels.

1.33 min. | 5.0 user rating		 Just as the World Health Organization (WHO) declares the H1 N1 (swine flu) as a none event and we feel safe from a global pandemic that threatened to kill millions, perhaps billions, we get some more bad news. Virtually as WHO said that H1 N1 was finished and 'downgraded to a seasonal flu' we get word that now there is a antibiotic resistant new SUPERBUG threatening man kind. Emerging from the Medical Tourism Meccas of India and Pakistan - there is no way of stopping this new threat to humanity. Short of avoiding medical tourism and travel in general. BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID...Mankind is once again facing inhalation. Due to low profit margins on antibiotics the pharmaceutical giants haven't been advancing antibiotic research, saving lives is not reason enough, there has to be a big profit, so I have no doubt that Governments all over the world will now step in with huge influxes of cash to help the cash strapped pharmaceutical companies. Oh the world goes around.
