Faster planes and cheaper flights are making it easier than ever before for people to travel. In the most 'developed' societies, visiting exotic places is a sought-after status symbol. The tourism industries of both developed and developing countries have recognised this fact and are learning to take advantage of it.

There are, however, some problems associated with this new industry. Firstly, there is the increasing crime rate. Some local's tourists as an easy prey because, not only are they in unfamiliar territory and therefore less able to take care of themselves, but also they carry visible items of wealth, such as cameras and jewelry which can be disposed of quickly for profit.

Another major problem is health. With greater mobility comes greater danger of spreading contagious diseases around the world. One carrier returning home could easily start an epidemic before their illness was diagnosed. Moreover, the emergence of many diseases which resist antibiotics is causing scientists to be increasingly concerned about this issue.

Also to be considered is the natural environment, which can be seriously threatened by too many visitors. Australia's Great Barrier Reef, for example, is in danger of being destroyed by tourists and there are plans to restrict visitors to some of the more delicate coral cays.

These are just three of the reasons why any country should be wary of committing itself to an extensive tourism development program.

 

Why does the natural environment become one of the serious problem associated with the faster planes and cheaper flight? Because ....

In 1854, Louis Pasteur was appointed professor of chemistry at the University of Lille. He demonstrated that organism such as bacteria were responsible for souring wine, beer even milk. He then invented a process where bacteria could be removed by boiling and the cooling the liquid. Today the process is known as pasteurization. He completed the first test on April 20, 1862.

In 1865, Pasteur helped to save the silk industry. He proved that microba were attacking healthy silkworm eggs, causing the diseases, and the disease can be cured by eliminating the microbes.

Pasteur first vaccine discovery was in 1879, with a disease called chicken pox. After accidentally exposing chicken to the attenuated form, he demonstrated that they became resistant to the actual virus. Pasteur went on to extend his germ theory to develop prototype of vaccine for diseases such as anthrax, cholera, TB, and smallpox

Phuket is largest island in Thailand, a 540 square kilometres, it’s about the same size as Singapore. Just over an hour by jet from Bangkok or Singapore, and with daily connections to most Asian airports, Phuket is ideally situated for a short break or a relaxing vacation.

            Phuket covers land and many sandy beaches. It is a diverse and fascinating island to explore. A rich culture a beautiful coastline, spectacular natural sights, loads of outdoor sports and activities, shopping, nightlife, and dining are just a few of its attractions. Just offshore are dozens of smaller islands, easily reached by boat. The natural wonders of the mainland, found just beyond Phuket over the bridge to the north of the island, are also closed at hand. Many tourists come to Phuket every year to see the beautiful view of it. One of the beautiful beaches had been displayed in a film, “The Beach”, which was acted by the Hollywood actor, Leonardo Di Caprio 1999.

Marie Curie was born in Poland 1867. She was the only person who gained two Nobel prizes at that time. She achieved one on physics and one on chemistry. She was born as Marie Sklodowska, the daughter of a chemistry professor. She was the first woman who attended the University of Sorbonne in Paris. As a poor student, she lived in Paris on only ten cents a day for 3 years. In 1895, she married Pierre Currie, a chemist. They had two daughters: Irene and Eve.

Marie managed three lives as a researcher, a wife, and a mother.

In 1898, Marie discovered radium. Later she developed a concept of radioactivity, which marked the beginning of atomic age. During World War I, Marie and her daughter completed a new medical tool - the X-ray. Marie died in 1934, only a year before her daughter Irene won the Nobel Prize in chemistry.
