I just have time to give you a push off, here, Victor:
I am at the About.com Geography site -- this is their Tourism and
Travel page in the site:
Tourism and Travel
http://geography.about.com/science/geography/cs/
tourismandtravel/index.htm
Note: The above URL is actually one continuous line and should be
entered into your browser's address box as one line.
"Tourism is one of the world's largest industries and the geographic
importance of tourism for cultural interaction can never be
underestimated. Learn all about this fascinating subject through these
great resources."
Follow all the yellow brick roads that site lists for you.
And lookie here...About.com has a backpacking site:
http://backpacking.about.com/recreation/backpacking/mbody.htm
See what you can learn, there.
