Border Crossings: The Original Fake Alamo
by Soll Sussman

"There's something just a little bit disorienting about driving onto a remote 18,000-acre ranch and suddenly catching sight of the Alamo, looking for all practical purposes the twin of the real deal in San Antonio. You know that someone, somehow, had to have been caught up in a grand dream for this to be here."

Kenai Peninsula - David Brackney

"As the eagle flies, it's about 110 miles between the cities of Anchorage and Homer -- just a stone's toss by standards of Alaska, by far the biggest of our 50 states. More than twice the size of Texas, three-quarters the size of Mexico, the place is huge -- not just in size, but in diversity of scenery, landscape, people and all the rest. I had three weeks to spend in the state last year and harbored no illusions of seeing it all as I planned a research trip for a new AAA guide."

RECOMMENDED READING

Goodness Sells: A Modest Proposal for the Rebranding of Ecotourism in the United States - Frances Figart

Editor-in-chief of Courier Magazine, the official publication of the National Tour Association (NTA), Frances Figart, argues that it is up to those who have an investment in the concept of 'ecotourism' to create its future by "thinking strategically and collaborating effectively to rebrand ecotourism." This essay is adapted by a presentation the author is making at a conference in September 2005.

The article will be used as background reading for our online seminar focusing on media, environment and tourism
