Opening Pandora's Box

Article Abstract:

Mixed views continue to be expressed about whether there is a need for statutory regulation in the UK tourism industry. It is clear that standards need to be improved in some areas, but there are number of possible ways of doing this. It may be possible to introduce statutory regulation with self-certification, for example, or approved local schemes monitored by a national board. There is particular concern about tourist attractions, where standards may fall as many new attractions are opened but visitor numbers do not increase, thus driving down re-investment levels.

Shopping for jobs

Article Abstract:

The Ivy Tech State College, IN, made an agreement with the River Falls Mall, IN, to start an internship program that allows heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) students to work at the mall for eight hours every day under the guidance of full-fledged technicians. The HVAC interns work with environmental control systems, compression systems and boilers, and test back-up HVAC units. This new program is profitable for the company, the university and the students. Students feel that such real-life experiences will increase their job opportunities.
