Flowers photo from Molly

The following post seem to have no connection to the theme of my blog but only from the first sight. Friendship and travelling, the connection is really vague, isn’t it? But, this post was born because of  my inattention, these photos are 5 months old and I paid attention to them only today. Why? Because I was searching for my old test and it reminded me how it is wonderful to have a friend and to travel to foreign countries, to be alone there and to spend the rest of your money onto a single telephone call to your friend. Thousands of miles lie between us, but her voice makes me feel alive and extremely happy.

It is not very popular holiday, I mean not everybody knows about it, but from my point of view it gains popularity each year. In October 2003 (in Beijing, China) was made a decision to follow geographic order while celebrating the World Tourism Day. Moreover, each tourism day has its own theme. The most unusual and interesting were: 1989 – Tourism: education for all, 1996 – Tourism: a factor of tolerance and peace, 2001 – Tourism: a toll for peace and dialogue among civilizations and finally, the 27th of September 2007 was celebrated in South Asia and its theme: Tourism opens doors for women (in Sri Lanka). It is aimed at emphasizing the achievements of women in the tourism industry.

As to major events in this day. Statistic data: already 56% employed in the hotels and restaurants sector (most of them in the Baltic States). Also, women earnings went high. Women became main representatives of tourism industry – they are qualified, diplomatic, experienced.
