TOURISM VITAL TO USA AND UK; WAR ON TOURISM

The tourists have fled from North Africa, thanks to NATO.

The travel industry is extremely important to the USA and UK.

Travel and Tourism Contributes Nearly USD2 Trillion To America GDP

New research, by Oxford Economics, shows that the travel and tourism industry's total contribution to GDP in the Americas was US$1.9 trillion in 2011.

This is 8.6 percent of total GDP.

This compares to 6 percent for 'automotive and mining' and 7 percent for 'chemicals'.

The travel and tourism industry has 15 million direct employees in the Americas.

This compares with 10 million in financial services, 2.5 million in mining, 2.5 million in chemicals manufacturing, and 4 million in vehicle manufacturing.

France gets more tourists than the USA

In the UK, travel rivals financial services in importance, according to the World Travel and Tourism Council C

New research from the World Travel & Tourism Council shows that the UK travel and tourism industry:

1. Is nearly five times the size of the vehicle manufacturing industry.

2. Provides almost as many jobs as the financial sector.

3. Contributes around £101 billion per year, or 6.7% of total GDP.

This compares to 2.3% for vehicle manufacturing, 1.9% for mining and 4.1% for chemicals.

Travel and tourism’s contribution to GDP is growing faster than most other sectors in the UK.

However, the tourism industry is being hit by:

1. High taxes including Air Passenger Duty.

2. Lack of investment in roads, railways...

3. Scares about terrorism.

Perverted fascists in the USA?

COUNTRIES WITH GOOD AND BAD KARMA

It is good to visit countries with good karma.

Which factors might produce bad karma?

A. Materialism. Think of people who worship money and possessions.

B. Greed. Think of a small group controlling most of the wealth.

C. Lust. Think of Pattaya, Pompeii or Las Vegas.

D. Violence. Think of army generals carrying out acts of false flag terrorism, to justify endless wars.


Switzerland

Which countries have good or bad karma?

1. Switzerland has a long history of being prosperous, peaceful and democratic.

In spite of being the home to John Calvin and Marc Rich, it can be considered as having relatively good karma.

But, it is expensive, and its banks could be associated with materialism and greed.

France

2. France has mainly bad karma due to the materialism and greed of its elite, due to its links to the Dutroux affair, and due to its involvement in killing people in Syria and Libya.

Paris is a grumpy city, the Nice area is said to be infested with mafias, but some quiet rural spots may still have good karma?


3. Costa Rica has a stable democracy, no military and a policy of neutrality.

It does have a drugs problem, and earthquakes, but can be considered as having relatively good karma.

Global Peace index. Orange and Red - Low and Very Low.

4. The United States has very bad karma.

New York means materialism and greed, Los Angeles means lust and the USA in general means violence.

Think of the Pentagon's involvement in false flag terrorism - Operation Northwoods and Operation Gladio.

Think of the CIA's kidnapping and torture of children - MK ULTRA.

Think of the CIA mercenaries known as al Qaeda.


Finland by Joni Kantonen

5. Finland is generally prosperous and peaceful.

It can be considered as having relatively good karma.

6. China has bad karma due to the holocaust carried out by Mao, and due to the greed of the rich elite.


Bhutan by babasteve

7. Bhutan tends to be happy, stable and peaceful.

There is a degree of poverty, but this Buddhist nation can be considered to have relatively good karma.

Spain

8. Spain has relatively bad karma.

Think of the ugly tower blocks along parts of the coast. Think of the horrors of the civil war.

But some parts of rural Spain may still have good karma.

9. Iceland is generally regarded as being peaceful and happy.

There were bad guys running the banks, but these problems are being overcome.

Iceland is volcanic, so there is always a risk of erruptions.

But, at present, Iceland appears to have relatively good karma.

Italy

10. Italy has relatively bad karma.

The Italian aristocracy, and Berlusconi, allegedly have links to the Mafia.

The Bologna Bombing of 1980 was part of the CIA's Operation Gladio, which had the support of elements of the Italian government and military.

Venice has lost much of its population but now has McDonalds and lots of ugly graffiti.

The Vatican has been linked to child abuse, freemasonry, fascism and satanism.

The train between Naples and Pompeii is covered with illicit spray paint.

Orange parade in Glasgow.

11. The United Kingdom has bad karma.

Reportedly, there is evidence that elements of the UK government helped plan 9 11; and that the wild Islamists secretly work for the UK spooks.

The 'old-world charm of England' may mean boarded up shops on high streets, feral children running wild on council estates, drunken young louts vomiting outside pubs and well armed gangs selling drugs.

Parts of London and Glasgow are as poor as Dacca.

Turkey

12. Turkey has bad karma.

Terror incidents in Turkey were the work of the CIA-linked Ergenekon gang.

Now the Islamist government of Turkey is said to be linked to the CIA through the Islamist Gulen movement.

Turkey is playing its part in the CIA's destruction of the non-Sunni-Islamist Arab world.

However, not all Turks support prime minister Erdogan and there are parts of Turkey that have good karma.

Germany

13. Germany has bad karma thanks to the regimes of Hitler, the East German communists, and the post war Bilderberg folks.

The CIA's 9 11 hijackers have links to Germany.

However, not all Germans are fascist, and not all parts of Germany will have bad karma.


Friendly Malaysians

14. Malaysia has fairly good karma, now that the British are gone.

The typical rural Malays are happy, easy going and friendly.

The grumpy Malays are generally the rich Chinese, living in the cities, and the brainwashed Islamists on the edges of Malaysia.

Some churches have been attacked, by spooks trying to destabilise the country, but hopefully the authorities are aware of who is causing the trouble.

Malaysia could develop bad karma if the CIA's islamists become more powerful.

15. Mexico has fairly bad karma, because of its links to drugs gangs, armed by the USA.

Pattaya - high rate of murders of tourists.

15. Thailand has avoided wars.

It's people are known for their friendliness.

But, it has had more mafias and more brothels than most countries.

Some Thais are materialistic, greedy, lustful and violent; and some are not.

You could say - bad karma in the tourist resorts and good karma elsewhere.

Zulus

16. South Africa would appear to have bad karma, at least in parts.

"A survey conducted in Soweto found that a quarter of schoolboys described gang rape as fun." (Just cap it)

Among South African adults aged 15-49, 17% are HIV-positive. (Just cap it)

In 2005 it was recorded that over 700 South Africans were being killed by AIDS every DAY. (Just cap it)

Around 900 South Africans continue to contract the virus every day. (Just cap it)

TRIP-ADVISOR; REID'S PALACE

Reid's Palace, Luxury Hotel in Madeira, Portugal

On 1 February 2012, the UK's Telegraph has an article entitled:

"The TripAdvisor hotels with a five-star critic in every room".

According to the Telegraph:

1. The UK's Advertising Standards Authority has ruled that because 'non-genuine content' can appear on the TripAdvisor site undetected, the slogan 'Reviews you can trust' is inappropriate.

2. Adam Raphael, the editor of The Good Hotel Guide, has claimed that as many as half of the reviews could be 'collusive'.

3. One hotel has confessed to writing 'probably 80 per cent' of its own TripAdvisor reviews.

4. Some hotels reportedly bribe guests to give good reports.

5. Some hotels reportedly libel their rivals with stories of food poisoning, bedbugs or credit card fraud.

6. Reportedly some customers threatening to criticise a hotel unless they get a discount on the bill.

Reid's Palace Hotel in Madeira. Orient-Express Hotels Ltd. owns Hotel Cipriani in Venice, Italy, Reid's Palace in Madeira, Portugal, Copacabana Palace in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and the 21 Club in New York City, in the United States.

Members of Aangirfan's family made a brief trip to the five-star Reid's Palace hotel in Madeira.

Reportedly, the staff varied in quality!

TripAdvisor rates Reid's Palace hotel in Madeira as one of the top 25 in the world.

Here are some of the reviews:

1. "Our 10 and 12 year old boys were made extremely welcome as are all well-behaved children... but the unbelieveably badly behaved, noisy trio of American families who descended on the pool area for 3 days were made to feel extremely uncomfortable by both staff and guests. This is a peaceful place.There is a "teenage room" complete with a variety of X-Box, Wii, Internet and comfortable sofas."

2. "Whilst our room was a little on the small side, the view over the gardens across to the sea was lovely. We stayed before Christmas, so the hotel was only half full, so it was pretty quiet, but we'd love to go back for the festive celebrations in the future. The hotel is in a lovely setting, and is a 20 minute walk into town, which suited us well. Only downside was the pool exercise class, really could have done without 80s dance music blaring out whilst the instructor called out over the top."

3. "We had a couple of completely comical (but somewhat irritating when you're on the receiving end) 'Fawlty Towers' type breakfasts with missing orders, mixed up orders, and finally restaurant staff starting to argue amongst themselves about what had been ordered by who. An hour and a half, and then the eggs were over-cooked and inedible. I gave up and used the buffet that day! A few nights later one of the same waiters tried to get us to sign for our food at the Cipriani when we are booked for half board. Oh, and the hotel forgot to invite us to the weekly cocktail party."

Reid's Palace Hotel. In 1894, Empress Elizabeth of Austria stayed there after the death of her son, Crown Prince Rudolf. Winston Churchill stayed there. He wrote his memoirs and painted at the nearby village of Camara de Lobos. John Huston and Gregory Peck stayed there. The Aga Khan met Rita Hayworth at Reid's.

4. "I had expected something awesome, but it wasn't , so I was disappointed.

"Very average hotel and rather dated & stuffy & not the sumptuous palace I had expected.

"The cruise ships were in and coach parties arrived in crocodile for afternoon tea..."

5. "Just returned from 4 overpriced, underwhelming sleepless nights at Reid's Palace.

"There was nothing palatial about our poorly maintained room with it's stopped-up tub, broken a/c, shorted-out television, warm mini-bar, and back-breaking mattress.

"Nor was there anything royal about the brusque service and snubbish, unconcerned attitude of the poorly trained front-end staff..."

"The police discovered that Norbert DR was not only a collector of child pornography but had also made several short porn films with underage boys on the Portuguese island of Madeira in 1991.

"Vervloesem made a link between the Madeira films and the 'Temse network' which reportedly sent underage boys to Holland." (aangirfan: WARWICK SPINKS AND MARCEL VERVLOESEM)

Churchill liked Madeira.

Paedophile groups reportedly used to travel to Madeira to seek out young children. (Guardian Unlimited The Guardian Portugal's elite linked to ...)
