The Brit package
Article Abstract:
There are a number of aspects about the UK tourist industry which give cause for concern. Britons seem to have a rather negative attitude towards tourists, even though the tourist industry employs 1.7 million people and brings revenues of 38 billion pounds sterling a year. Many tourist attractions are badly managed and charge very high entrance fees. Ordinary Britons are keen to keep well away from tourists, while tourists seem to have no desire to experience life in the UK as it really is.

Taking the best out of bestseller
Article Abstract:
Literary critics who are asked to select what they regard as the best new books generally do not select books which have proved popular with ordinary readers. Indeed, the authors of the books selected by literary critics may be almost completely unknown outside literary circles or even to other literary critics. There are only a few books which bridge the gap between the popular and the literary worlds.
