Imagine living in a country where you know you could die at any moment but don’t know how much longer till it happens. That was how much of the population of El Salvador used to feel when the government could not control the big coffee corporations. These out of control corporations, highly feared that the people would want to revolt against them so they hired murderers to kill innocent people to spread fear in the minds of the people of El Salvador. Fear, hate, and sorrow were the common feelings felt by the poor and innocent major population of El Salvador caused by the evil wrongdoings of the government during October 1979 – 16 January 1992. This is how the main character, Jose Luis, of the novel “Mother Tongue” by Demetria Martinez, felt before escaping his beautiful yet over constantly dangerous country, which depended on its cash crop, coffee beans to sell on a foreign market as the country’s main income. However, following the stock-market crash of 1929, a drop in coffee prices became apparent and affected everyone in El Salvador, but the poor especially. Making things worse, the glorious United States was funding the men whom were doing all the innocent killings with more weapons and money to increase their military power. So for Jose Luis the safe haven that he had escaped to was also blatantly funding the war that was killing so many innocent people he knew and had forced him to escape for his own safety. With nowhere else to go in order to find safety the United

Before reading the blog I was aware I would be reading raw information so whatever the author puts on his blog may not be what really happened at the airport. The author acknowledges this in the beginning of his post. As written in his blog:

The first shot hit his shoulder, right at their arrival and the last bullet upon their departure. He told them, take everything and let me go to the hospital, but right there in front of my grandma, they put it him on his knees and shot him in the head as he prayed holding a bible, the next day, I still remember blood was still coming out of one his ears. The responsible of this criminal act is Salvador Sanchez Ceren, the one who some believe worthily represents el Salvador, today day he is the president of El Salvador, a torturer a killer of more than a thousand people. After 9/11 this criminal went to the streets of san Salvador praising Osama bin Laden, asking for one more aircraft against the country that had sheltered millions of Salvadorians, Sanchez Ceren, went to the streets of san Salvador with a mob of his followers as companion to celebrate to show support to the acts of terrorism of AL-Qaeda 9/11 attack, where 43 Salvadorians lost theirs life, I can’t process how a human being for more radical ideology that can have will rejoice for the killing of thousands of people and not even care for the ones of his own country, they burned the united states flag, to me besides of any patriotism a flag represent the pride of a society the history the culture of a nation, that act committed by a foreigner is a big offense made to a people of a

So, there we were, in Columbia, without visas, and without having gone through customs. The airport manager disclosed there was a hotel in town that was safe and we would be fine if we went there. That region of Columbia had virtually no infrastructure, no busses, no public transportation. The only taxis available were gypsy cabs and could not be trusted. Miguel and I faced the dilemma of figuring out how we could move about, without attracting attention, in a country we weren’t even supposed to be in. Fortunately, a local man transported the three employees and the girlfriend back and forth between the town and the airport at the start and conclusion of each day, moreover, we were able to arrange for him to convey us as well.

During the 1960s, there was a violent civil war in El Salvador. In all of the chaos, buildings were destroyed, jobs were scarce, and families were torn apart1. Thousands of Salvadorans fled their home country to the United States, and were granted refuge2. [1]

Located on the Pacific Coastline, El Salvador is the smallest country in Central America, and the most populated. The United States of America foreign policy on El Salvador is best explained by President Obama’s approach on Latin America where the United States is focused on economic growth and equality, energy and climate control, and regional and citizen security (Foreign Policy, 2012). This is best explained using the international level of analysis and neo-liberalism where the global structure and economic interdependence provides the foundation of America’s foreign policy. To ensure that one can see the transparency in United States methodology I will provide the history of El Salvador, the creation of United States interest in El

World heritage sites are significant to learn our history due to the fact that they give a specific foundation for ideas and authenticate them (“Cultural). World Heritage Site is a site that is listed by UNESCO to be a special cultural or bodily importance (“World Heritage site). From 1972, UNESCO took ‘Convention concerning the Protection of the World’s Cultural and Natural Heritage,’ and it inherited in 1976 (“Introduction). The earliest list, which is listed in 1976, contains Galapagos Islands, an island which is in the Pacific Ocean, Mount Everest, a mountain in Nepal, Machu Picchu, a remain in Peru, Grand Canyon in the United States, the Great Barrier Reef, coral reef in Australia and the Great Wall of China

This idea is about a seasonal special cave opening every October on Halloween for the duration of 2-3 weeks for a limited time only. The goal is to be creative and give great customer service to keep people happy and intrigued to keep coming back year-after-year.

For a long time researchers are trying to find the perfect recipe for success, however it is very hard to predict the response of the market to a new product and its adaptation to the environment. The Ice Hotel and the Travelodge are two ventures established in the end of 20th century both in the travel and hospitality sector but each one with its own unique business strategy. In evaluation of their success the decisions made throughout the development of the above mentioned ventures can be categorized as effectual and causal, as explained by Sarasvathy (2010). G.Sanvikarja suggests that causational logic is more rational and based on prediction where as the effectual strategy is more creative and is control orientated. Each of these approaches implies different strategies and reasoning behind both individual decisions and responsiveness to the environment. Furthermore, most enterprises follow a set of common principles that are key for building a business strategy including defining means, setting affordable loss, leveraging contingencies and forming partnerships (S. et. al, 2010). These four aspects are crucial for understanding how is a business created and what is its approach. However, it should be noted that most of the businesses are not strictly effectual or causal, rather a mixture of both with a tilt towards one. Every business is individual and should be treated like one. This paper will examine the business strategies behind the Ice Hotel and the

El Salvador is a small, yet highly dense populated country in Central America. About 1.5 million people from El Salvador live and work in the United States currently. In the year 1979, a civil war began in El Salvador that went on for fourteen years, before ending in 1992. During this civil war, an estimated 25% of the population of El Salvador fled to the United States seeking safety and better job opportunities. What you are about to read is the story (This is the story) of one of those Salvadorians, my very close friend Fermin.

The Travel and Tourism industry is still one of the largest single businesses in world commerce and its importance is widely recognized. The tourism industry is now one of the largest sectors earning foreign exchange. In the face of many benefits, many countries have started assigning due weight age to the tourism industry in their national development agenda. Tourism is an industry that operates on a massively broad scale: it embraces activities ranging from the smallest sea-side hotel; to air-lines, multi-national hotel chains and major international tour operators. Originally, non-traditional industries such as tourism emerged as a solution to strike a balance between ecology and industry

The nightmare began long before I even set foot on the plane. To start, I was traveling from the international airport of Havana,

Retention of Visitor spending: The key to achieving economic sustainability for tourism in (i.e. California and Giants Causeway) is maximising the economic retention of tourist spending in your local economy. The sustainable tourism businesses need to develop strategies that are capable of meeting the long-term economic needs and aspirations of the local community. If the communities are engaged by tourism organisations as stakeholders in tourism, and economic partners in the tourism industry, this will actively support local tourism businesses. Tourism is a rapidly growing industry and has far-reaching economic and environmental impact across the destinations; hence, if tourism is an important source of local employment and a significant

Kramats and mosques are an important part of South African heritage as they represent the second oldest religion introduced to the country. The first Muslims brought to the cape arrived as Malay slaves, who practiced their faith in secret until the early 19th century. Prisoners who were fighting for freedom in the Dutch East Indies were also brought to the Cape. They included teachers of Islam. Some of these holy men were of noble birth and those who died were buried in shrines known as Kramats or Mazaars, of which there are about 30 in and around Cape Town. Kramats in South Africa can be found from Muizenberg to Mowbray, with four on signal hill alone. The most visited by pilgrims is that of Sheikh Yusuf of Macassar
