This is what I wrote in my diary 22 years ago today, on Saturday 13th July 1985:
[the story so far: It is the day of my 16th birthday party, which will happen at the house of my friend Philip. I am terribly in love with Philip, and my New Year's resolution was to kiss him]
"Got up just in time to go into town with Rachel - we spent time dodging rain so my newly plaited hair won't go flat for tonight. After town spent afternoon watching Live Aid then Philip rang to say he wanted me to come earlier and spent a hectic hour dashing about and was only just ready.
When first guests arrived at Philip's they were all his friends and I was still getting changed and v nervous! Then more people arrived and at first everyone was v. boring and my friends and Philip's didn't mix, then things began to hot up and I got v. pissed and really enjoyed myself and flirted with everyone in sight which was easy cos my dress CAPTIVATED the boys.
Got loads of birthday cards and some stationery-type pressies. Got to know Sandra (Philip's friend) v. well and we had a good old heart to heart in the bathroom about how Philip was hopeless about other people's problems, which Philip himself later admitted to me, then I introduced Sandra to Matt and Matt jumped on me and we had a good old snog and he kept saying he loved me and wanted to go out with me and I said I didn't believe him and said I couldn't answer cos I was pissed and wandered off and first sat on Anthony's knee and then this American boy called Danny, and me and Danny ended up snogging and then we decided to go upstairs and got dead erotic in the spare bedroom but then practically all my friends appeared outside beseeching me to stop cos they reckoned I'd get pregnant! It was mad!
Louise Hill then gave me this enormous lecture about it all and then I found out Sandra had cut her wrists and went and cheered her up and spent rest of evening torn between Matt and Dan with both of them telling me to ignore the other one.
In the end me and Dan exchanged addresses (he's going back to America on Tuesday) and arranged to meet at swimming baths tomorrow afternoon and then Matt, not knowing Dan was coming swimming, tried to arrange for himself to come swimming too but I put him of by saying Rachel'd be there and got him to say he'd ring me on Monday and then I'd give him an answer when I was sober, but don't know if he will ring me judging by past record.
Anyway really enjoyed myself and have just worked out that during course of evening I kissed: Omar, Stephen, Chris, Matt, John, Anthony, Dan and - wait for it - Philip!
Y'see, at some time during the evening I dragged him aside and told him about my new year's resolution and he said he'd give me a Birthday Kiss later on and I did grab him later and exchanged sloppy kisses on cheek and I reckoned that would be it.
At end of party Stephen and Chris stayed behind about quarter of an hour and helped tidy up and Stephen pulled me aside and kissed me and said Happy Birthday and then they left and Philip's mum and dad went to bed and there was just me and Philip left.
We cleaned up together and he gave me a Birthday card and said he'd bring me a pressy back from France and then he suddenly said that he hadn't given me a Birthday Kiss yet and that he would when he'd finished the cake he was eating but he didn't get round to it and then we went upstairs to tidy his bedroom and we did a bit and then we sat down again and chatted a bit and I was sat on the arm of the sofa and he was sat on the seat and he said again that he'd have to give me a Birthday Kiss so I said "Go on then" so he said "Come and get it" so I sat down next to him and he said he'd got his own way again and then he gave me an incredibly long kiss and it was LOVELY!
I thought it would never end and out of all the night's kisses that was THE best. It was ace!
But then it was over and we chatted a bit and continued the best of friends and I went to bed! What the HELL do I do now?"

Brilliant. Reminds me of when all good parties had a suicide scare, a pregnancy scare and loads of snogging. Nowadays everyone just talks about bloody house prices. Which does actually make me want to cut my wrists...

"a suicide scare, a pregnancy scare and loads of snogging"
Brilliant description. Although I confess, my 38th birthday party last weekend wasn't much different. And I am horribly tempted to write it up in just as much detail. Not sure I can get away with that though...

Tourism - the phenomenon of spatial mobility of people, which is related to a voluntary change of residence, the environment and the rhythm of life. It covers the whole of the relations and phenomena related to tourism.
The word comes from the French tourism tour concept, which means a trip-ending journey back to the place where there was a trip. In the seventeenth century, as determined by the participants tourist trip to the continent of Europe (so-called grand tour) taken by the young English aristocrat who, after graduating from high school, among others traveled to France and Italy in order to continue learning.
World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) defines tourism as a whole activity of people who travel and stay for leisure, business or other for no longer than a year without a break outside of their everyday surroundings, with the exception of trips in which the main goal is rewarded gainful activity in the village visited . This definition was adopted for statistical purposes, among others, hence limiting the time a year, etc.
Tourism is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon, which refers to many aspects of human life. Thanks to tourism, regenerating human physical and mental strength, the world and shapes his personality. Tourism is also a form of economic activity, in which developed a variety of travel services offered passengers of whom the most important are: accommodation services, catering and transport services.
Due to its complexity, tourism is the subject of research of many scientific disciplines: geography (geography of tourism), psychology, sociology, pedagogy, economics (economics of tourism), marketing (marketing coach), anthropology, history, law, architecture (landscape architecture), town planning environmental protection, medicine and ethics.
Tourism is the subject of research in the following aspects:
spatial (migration tourist, tourist management),
economic Wyjazdy narciarskie (tourism market, tourism, economic impacts of tourism development),
psychological (human needs, motives to take travel destinations, experiences and behaviors in the target place of residence),
social (relationships between tourists and the communities visited, social stereotypes, social ties),
cultural (tourism as a function of culture, the interaction between the culture represented by tourists visited the community and culture).
The nineteenth century was a turning point for tourism. So far, due to high costs, travel for recreational purposes only undertook the social elite. Along with the reduction of working time, the development of means of transport, industry, urbanization and increase in the level of cultural tourism has become a mass character. Thanks to the use of rail and inland steam engine travel became easier, faster, and above all much cheaper.
The first railway Przeprowadzki firm Warszawa line was created in 1825 in England. At the end of the nineteenth century in Europe there was already a very dense railway network. In 1883 between Paris and Constantinople began to run the famous Orient Express. At the turn of the century began to develop road transport. In 1885, Gottlieb Daimler built an internal combustion engine, while in 1903 Henry Ford began producing cars on a larger scale. The first motorway was founded in Italy in 1924. Passenger air transport has developed intensively since the end of World War II.
In 1841 Thomas Cook was founded in England, the first travel agency. Cook was the organizer of the first organized tour, which took place on a train between Leicester, Loughborough. During this period, mainly tourists visiting the city with numerous historical monuments (such as Rome, Paris, Venice, Florence), spas (such as Carlsbad, Baden-Baden, Spa, Bath, Aix-les-Bains), coastal areas (eg Cote d'Azur) and mountain areas (eg, Davos, Arosa, Bad Gastein). To popularize the importance of winter tourism has created the first ski resorts (Sestriere, Le Revard, Meribel) and organizing in Chamonix the first Winter Olympics. In addition, the company invoked to live and tourism associations: British Alpine Club (1857), Österreichischer Alpenverein (1862), Schweizer Alpen Club (1863) and the Club Alpino Italiano (1863). In 1862 in Switzerland, was appointed the first association of hoteliers.
After World War II (especially from the 50s) there was a sharp increase in tourist destination especially in the more prosperous countries of Western Europe and North America. The most popular tourist region was then the Mediterranean (particularly the coast of France, Spain and Italy). In the '60s and 70 intense growth of the tourism, ski built then most of the ski. In subsequent years, evolved in tourism regions located outside of Europe (islands in the Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico and Oceania). In the 80s began to see the negative impact of mass tourism on the natural environment and local communities, and thus came the idea of ??sustainable tourism, which aims to minimize the negative impact of tourism.
