NOT Michael Jackson news

If you rely on CNN or BBC for news, you would believe the entire world lives for MJ. At least EURONEWS only displayed the service as an inset window while they reported REAL news.

For recreation geography news today, I presented our research on the sustainability of health tourism at the 15th International Symposium on Society and Resource Management.
See our website for additional information (www.wsc.ma.edu/medicaltourism).

More news from a sample of the conference delegates indicates that travel to the ISSRM next year in Texas will likely be low since foreign nationals face numerous hurdles. While the Vancouver conference had record numbers, the US places so many restrictions for our society and natural resources guests, that some simply say "screw it."

Aren't we welcoming?
