[Blindtlk] Tourism Research

Mon Oct 28 13:35:42 UTC 2013

Hi everyone!
My name is Mihai Plavitu and I am a student at Aalborg
University, Denmark, Master of Tourism. I am interested in making a tourism research for
the visually impaired tourists. I already did a research on ways of traveling
and barriers for tourists with visual impairments. I always thought that such
researches should be made in cooperation with the persons in cause and for this
reason I would like to hear your opinions and your suggestions for further
research related to tourism. What issues do you think should be analysed in the
academic literature? 

Thank you and I am looking forward to hear from you.

Good morning, Michael,

         Let it go,  knowing of your helping that 
woman to feel psychically whole, and righteous. 
Wasn't serving as the object of her prairful 
fervor, little to no sweat off your 
ass?Personally, I always assume a passive 
demeanor when people wish to excercise their 
prayer rituals around, or about me. Through 
praying rituals is not how I happen to 
communicate with my spiritual side, but i 
completely respect those whom needto feel they 
are being spiritual by excercising a lil' prayer nor, ought you.
