Count Dracula was just a character in the well known Bram Stoker's novel called Dracula. He was inspired by one of the leaders in the history of Romania, Vlad Dracul, who was the father of Vlad the Impaler. Vlad the Impaler was the leader of Walachia somewhere between 1456 and 1462. He was borne  in 1413 in  Sighisoara city, and he lived there all his adult life,except for the time when he was imprisoned in Pest and Visegrad, in Hungary ( Romania Tourism ,2011 ). The truth behind the story of Dracula is that, Vlad the Impaler was a very honest leader and he thought that he needs to take some measures against the theft, laziness and other bad things that were happening around that time. He wanted the people to feel scared and was using as a negative example the people that were punished in order to ensure that people will not even think of doing mischief . In that period some of the famous punishments were staking, burning and hanging etc. His method of pun...

Tourism        What is Tourism? Tourism is the activity undertaken by people to travel away from their homes for more than 24 hours. (Page and Connell,2009) Another more complex definition of tourism is the activity of “persons travelling to and staying in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes.”(Gee et al. 1997:5) Tourism Society (1976) cited in Holloway et al (2009:8) states that “Tourism is the temporary short-term movement of people to destinations outside the places where they normally live and work, and activities during their stay at these destinations ; it includes movement for all purposes as well as day visits or excursions”.

Positive impacts Positive Impacts of Tourism on the Environment 1.Conservation – this is based on agriculture, logging and mining and other types of activities which give an extra economic benefit and conserving the environment, with its natural landscapes .(Beech and Chadwick,2006). Tourism  is based on the environmental resources and attractions, the environment itself is an attraction. In the less developed countries tourism acts as a “force of conservation ”(Page and Connell, 2009:435), for example, the National parks in Kenya and Namibia are thought to be tools of conservation and a development of economy. “Tourist spending generates local employment, demand for local good and crafts and helps to justify protection of natural resources.” (Page and Connell, 2009:435)

Transport is an essential tool for tourism; the negative effects of the transport are the pollution from emanating different gases and the damage created to the environment.(Page and Connell,2009) Air travel - over 1/5 of the world’s population are using the air for their travel because it’s a fast way to get to a destination; -airplanes need airport to operate their flights which means that construction of airports is an important thing, this is affecting the environment because they are constructing new airports or expand them, for example “Frankfurt’s third runway resulted in the felling of half a million trees.”(Page and Connell,2009:425) - aircrafts are using kerosene which is affecting the environment. “Like all fuels, on combustion kerosene produces: - carbon dioxide … - wa...

This seems to be a very good way of promoting and having a sustainable tourism and ecotourism in a country. Jordan has different amazing places and is a historical place as well... Sustainable tourism has to show up the bound between the local community , businesses and care given to the environment. In this case we can see the bound of the business in getting involved the local community and giving them equal opportunities to get in contact with the tourists and even sell their goods... For more information have a look at the video...
