48 hours in South Tyneside
Article Abstract:
The largest town in the South Tyneside, England, area is Gateshead, close to Newcastle. Other towns include Felling, Hebburn and Jarrow. It is worth escaping the towns and visiting the countryside. There is dramatic scenery in the Derwent Walk country park, which is reached from the village of Swalwell. A key new attraction in South Tyneside is Antony Gormley's sculpture 'Angel of the North,' situated beside the Durham Road four miles south of Gateshead town centre.

The package holiday: good for you, and great for the world
Article Abstract:
It is surprising that more Britons do not take advantage of the excellent value for money offered by package holidays. These holidays provide inexpensive travel to destinations that would not otherwise really exist at all. Tourism generally benefits local economies, and is not as environmentally damaging as some observers believe. Mass travel may have some drawbacks, but is generally an industry which is ideally adapted to the demands of the 21st century.
