Open to discussion
Article Abstract:
A debate to be held in April 1995 and organised by the UK's Tourism Society and Tourism Concern will discuss whether the tourist industry can protect the environment through self-regulation. Tourism is a worldwide industry, but its effects on communities and the local environment in visited areas have been profound and the industry could destroy the valuable assets on which it depends. The two main organisations working towards sustainable tourism are Tourism Concern and the World Travel and Tourism Council's Environment Research Centre (WTTERC).

Planets suite
Article Abstract:
The London Planetarium has been the subject of a 4.5 million pounds sterling revamp, and now offers a range of new attractions. Its virtual reality show gives audiences a chance to experience the planets through a 3D space journey, and uses the Digistar II star projector, the most advanced of its kind in the world. The whole of the building's interior has been redesigned, and extra space has now been gained.
