This is a matter of asking for trouble then wondering why trouble arrives in droves. Tourism decision makers race to develop what they believe to be globally competitive projects. That, in and of itself, means that they willfully relinquish their heritage (without asking the majority of citizens if they agree).2945abc45 0422
