1. Tourism involves three main geographical components: tourist-generating areas where people originate from, tourist destinations that attract visitors, and the routes connecting these areas.
2. Tourist flows are influenced by "push factors" in generating areas like levels of affluence and climate, and "pull factors" of destinations like their attractions, accessibility, and cost of visiting.
3. Tourism is measured by statistics on visitor volumes, characteristics, and expenditures, but these measures have limitations in fully representing tourist flows.

Presented in this document is a short discussion on using IMPL’s SLPQPE algorithm to solve process optimization problems in either off- or on-line environments also known as real-time optimization (RTO). Process optimization is somewhat different than production optimization in the sense that there are more “constitutive relations” involving only intensive variables. Both types of optimizations involve “conservation laws” and “correlative equations” which usually involve a mix of extensive and intensive variables (Kelly, 2004). Whereas production optimization deals more with material, meta-material (nonlinear), logic and logistics (discrete) balances (Zyngier and Kelly, 2009 and Kelly and Zyngier, 2015), process optimization is inherently more detailed and includes energy, exergy, momentum, hydraulics, equilibrium, diffusion, kinetics and other types of transport phenomena which involve nonlinear and perhaps discontinuous functions (Pantelides and Renfro, 2012).

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2. Objectives
• Distinguish between the different
forms of tourism, and the
relationship of different types of
tourist with the environment.
• Identify the three major
geographical components of
tourism.
• Explain the push and pull factors
that give rise to tourist flow.
• Appreciate the main methods
used to measure tourist flows and
be aware of their problems.
3. Leisure, Recreation &
Tourism
• Leisure is often seen as a
measure of time and is usually
used to mean the time left over
after work, sleep, and personal
household chores have been
completed. Leisure is free time
for individuals spend as they
please.
4. Leisure, Recreation &
Tourism
• Recreation is variety of activities
taken during leisure time. It
refreshes a person’s strength and
spirit and can include activities as
diverse as watching television or
holidaying abroad.
5. Leisure, Recreation &
Tourism
• Tourism is “the activities of
persons travelling to and staying
in places outside their usual
environment for not more than
one consecutive year for leisure,
business and other purposes.”
6. Geography & Tourism
• Spatial Scale
• the human activities, focusing on
both tourist-generating and
tourist-receiving areas as well as
the links between them.
• The spatial study can be
undertaken at a variety of
scales;
• world distribution of
climatic zones
• regional assessment of
tourist resources
• the local landscapes of
resorts
7. • The geographical components of
the tourism system
• The places of origin of tourists –
the tourist-generating areas.
• Represent the homes of tourists,
where journey begin and end.
• Examine the features that stimulate
demand for tourism, include the
geographical location of an area; its
socioeconomic and demographic
characteristic.
• These areas represent the main
tourist markets in the world.
• Major marketing functions of tourist
industry are found here, such as tour
operation, and travel retailing.
8. • The tourist destinations – the receiving
areas.
• Places that attract tourist to stay
temporarily and will have features and
attractions that may not be found in the
generating areas.
• comprise of the accommodation, retailing,
and service functions, entertainment, and
recreation.
• most important part of the tourism
system, which attract the tourists and
energizing the system.
• recognized as the impacts recipient of the
tourism industry, and therefore where the
planning and management of tourism is so
important.
9. • The routes travelled between tourist-
generating areas and the receiving
areas.
• Link the tourist-generating area and the
tourist destination area.
• As the key element in the system as their
effectiveness and characteristics shape the
size and direction of tourist flows.
• It represents the location of the main
transportation component of the tourist
industry.
10. • Spatial interaction between the
components of the tourist system
• Tourist flows
• tourist flows between regions is the
fundamental to the geography of tourism
• between two areas with the destination
area containing a surplus of a commodity
(ex. tourist attraction) and the generating
area having a deficit, or demand for that
commodity.
• The regular patterns of tourist flows, which
do not occur randomly but follow certain
rules and are influenced by a variety of push
and pull factors.
11. • Push factors
• Mainly concerned with
the stage of economic
development in the
generating area,
including the factors as
levels of affluence,
mobility and holiday
entitlement.
• Economic development
may cause the pressure
of life will provide the
“push” to engage in
tourism.
• An unfavourable climate
will also provide a
strong impetus to
travel.
12. • Pull factors
• Include accessibility, and
the attractions and
amenities of the
destination area.
• The relative cost of the
visit is important, as is
the marketing and
promotion of the
receiving area.
13. • Explaining tourist flows
• A number of attempts have
been made to explain the
factors that affect tourist flows
and to provide rules governing
the magnitude of flows between
regions
14. 1. Williams and Zelinsky (1970)
• Selected 14 countries that had
relatively stable tourist flows
over a few years, which
accounted for the bulk of the
world’s tourist traffic.
• A number of factors that helped
to explain these flows:
• Distances between countries (the
greater the distance, the smaller
the volume of flow).
• International connectivity
(shared business or cultural ties
between countries).
• The general attractiveness of one
country for another.
15. 2. The gravity model
• It based on two main factors that
influence flows:
• a) The push and pull factors
which generate flows, and the
model states that the larger the
“mass” of the pushing or pulling
regions, the greater the flow
between them.
• b) The restraining factor, which
based on the distance between
the origin and the destination of
the flow.
• The time and cost involved in
travel act to reduce the flows
with distance.
• Known as the friction of distance.
16. • Measuring tourist flows
• The measurement of both international
and domestic flows has been
introduced by the national
governments and international
organizations.
• reasons why this statistical of flows is
important:
• To evaluate the magnitude of
tourist flows and to monitor any
change. This allows projection of
future flows and the identification
of market trends to be made.
• Act as a base of hard fact to allow
tourism planners and developers to
operate effectively and plan for the
future of tourism.
• Both public and private sectors use
it as a basis for their marketing.
17. • Measurement of tourist flows can be
divided into three main types:
• Statistics of volume
• Give the number of tourists
leaving an area or visiting a
destination in a given period
of time.
• Provide basic count of the
volume of tourist traffic.
• It also includes the length of
stay of the visitors at their
destinations.
18. • Tourist characteristics.
• Measure the quality of
tourist flows.
• Include information on types
of tourist (sex, age,
socioeconomic group) and
their behaviour (structure of
the trip, attitudes to the
destination)
• Expenditure statistics.
• Tourist flows have important
economic significance for the
destination, the generating
region, and the transport
carriers.
• Tourism represents a flow of
money that is earned in one
place and spends in another.
19. Forms of Tourism
• Type of destination
• the important distinction is between
international and domestic tourism.
• Domestic tourism embraces those
travelling within their own country.
• International tourism comprises those
who travel to a country other than that
in which they normally live.
• Inbound tourism – non-
residents travelling in a given
country
• Outbound tourism – involving
residents of a particular
country travelling abroad to
other countries
20. • use another currency and
encounter a different language.
• Larger countries have a variety of
tourist attractions and resorts, and
greater physical distances.
• Classifying tourists according to
their relationship with the
destination.
21. • The characteristics of the tourism
system
• forms of tourism based dominantly on
the destination visited.
• the destination visited influence the
other components of the tourism
system
• (the market and its motivation
to travel, and the means and
form of transport used.
22. • The tourism product determine the
nature of the tourism system
• Rural tourism
• Urban tourism
• Heritage tourism
• Cultural tourism
• Eco-tourism
23. • The market
• Forms of tourism based on its
market, in terms of the purpose of
visit of the tourist;
• Holiday tourism (Holloway, 1989).
• can be divided into “sun, sea,
and sand” type where good
weather and beach-related
activities are important.
• the “touring, sightseeing, and
culture” type where new
destinations, and different life
styles are sought.
24. • Common-interest tourism;
• those travelling with a
purpose common to those
visited at the destination
• visiting friends and relatives
[VFR], religion, health or
education reasons.
• make little or no demand
upon accommodation or
other tourist facilities at the
destination.
25. • Business and professional tourism;
• includes all those who are
attending the trade fairs and
conferences or participating in
incentive travel schemes.
• The business travellers use the
same facilities as those travelling
for pleasure and they are not
permanent employees or
residents of the host destination
• Therefore they must be included
in any definition of tourist. They
are constrained in terms of
where and when to travel.
26. Other market-based approach is to
consider;
• The nature of the tourist
themselves; the youth tourism,
grey tourism, and gay tourism.
• The type of travel arrangement
purchased
• inclusive tour where two or
more components of the
tour are purchased together
and one price is paid.
• independent travel
arrangements where the
traveller purchases the
various elements of the trip
separately.
• tailor-made which is a
combination of the two.
27. • The Distance Travelled
• Long-haul tourism; taken to be
journeys of over 3000 kilometres
• Short-haul tourism; comprises
journeys below that distance
28. Conclusion
• The distinction is important in terms of
aircraft operation and for marketing.
• It is important to recognise that each
particular form of tourism involve all of
the geographical components.
