The World Tourism Day is held on the 27/Sep every year, and this year's International celebration is held in Bali, Indonesia with the Theme: "Rethinking Tourism" Tourism is one of the world's largest contributor to GDP for various countries and destinations across the globe and the UNWTO has over the years described the sector's relevance in growing economies and improving people's standards of living especially in developing countries. This year's theme comes at a time as countries/destinations recover from the adverse effects of the novel Covid 19 and put the industry activities at a standstill. The theme was adopted at every annual meeting, to spread awareness and increase tourism. . . .

Across the Finish Line: Weird Vehicle Winners ~

Our wheeled warriors this week are @curiooftheheart, @deg99, and @misterstingyjack!

It's going to be hard to talk about some of these entries this week, because wow, we had a lot of strong, unique submissions. Paring down to winners and runners wasn't easy, but I can't wait to talk about them.

@curiooftheheart — Artillery Drive

This is a heck of a mechanical payoff. Interesting how it's such an aggressive card, one that only looks into attacking, but at the same time I never considered how much the defensive property of vehicles can matter—or at least, I had considered it, but this cars makes me rethink its aggression. The cost is enough for me to put this solidly in the limited/casual/commander areas of the vehicle archetype. And what a card it is for that; turning on your engines is quite strong.

When considering the creature/noncreature functionality of vehicles, I love how this card can tap as soon as it comes out, UNLESS it gets crewed. The incentivization of deckbuilding to that strength becomes core. Big vehicle archetype? Absolutely wild. And then, the complexity of the bonus buff for if it's a creature? Every part of this card is both top-tier complexity and easily grokable. Assuming one reads the card, I mean. Players who can use this card effectively will be able to demolish their opponents. I wonder, what is a "Drive" here? That's the only part I'm more curious about, but if it's a mechanical specificity to the augmenting nature, I think I feel it.

@deg99 — Story Train

We had a lot of red vehicles this week. Honestly, we had a lot of variety in the vehicles. This one is the only Saga in the bunch. Can you believe that? Look, Mx. 99, I have to be honest: when I first saw this card, I really thought it was too weird. And then, I thought about it mechanically, and got mad about how well it would play. And then, I remembered some long-forgotten children's trope about a train that took people on story-based adventures. Seriously, I was like...five? Six? No idea, but lord knows it's there. This is weirdly effective in terms of trope connection. What the heck is making this so...enjoyable?

The only thing that I would change is the possibility of having the abilities start with "Until end of turn, ..." to ensure that there's no confusion between the ability-granting EOT and the animation EOT effects. You mentioned the story in your submission, but I actually feel that this card just kinda...works. The train gains its different abilities as it goes along, and then it ends in a fiery cataclysm because the train has to stop somewhere and everything explodes. It carries itself. This shouldn't work! This really shouldn't be as fun as it is! And yet, you have a removable body that says "let me tell you the tale of how I did twelve damage and exploded your planeswalker." I couldn't not include this one for innovation's sake. Far from broken, far from normal.

@misterstingyjack — Phandelver Funicular

This card is the marriage of story and functionality that makes it both nicely weird and neatly good to deal with. I'll be doubly honest as well: the dungeons/initiative are tied with the Ring as my least favorite mechanics. Period. Ever. Does this card work? Yes, 100%. Should it have the keywords that it does? That's... Well, I think that it's a little much, and menace/trample don't feel great together always, but that's disregarding the dungeon exploration mechanic. Your description of the vibes, the name, and the understanding of the world all come together to make this card as good as it is.

I'm going to assume that you know more about D&D than I do if this was what came to mind, or at least that you liked the AFR stuff more than I did. You know what? That's fine! Fantasy world tourism is a silly enough idea that it makes sense to me—why wouldn't there be some dungeon that's being grifted? What's up with the grand tour? Well, someone made a vehicle that can delve into it safely, so there you go, more bang for your buck. What a silly card. If I was ever forced to play a D&D set again, I would love to play this card. Weird vibes, fun times. Those long-time inventors know that I get into sad/grim/serious cards a lot, but why not have some fun with a mechanically relevant and straightforwardly world-curved card. Right?

Runners and commentary later today. @abelzumi

Episode 2

Bro snow in the desert is not actually that wierd

Bro. Bro u srsly need to rethink ur tourism program like what the fuck. FREE RADON FOR EVERYONE

This man has *clearly* never been a father. Or had siblings. Or cousins. Ever. Maybe *don't* bring children near the Caramelldansen Cloud of Carrion?

...oh so they just have straight up dragons. Ok. Dragons who commit insurance fraud? *throws hands up* why not

"McDaniels was pulled over for speeding last night" UM SIR how big was that car?!? Actually ykw nvm it prolly just had a pocket dimension or amthn this is fuckin Nightvale why am I trying to use logic

Okay #1. Secret Dragon Society that's actually Not That Secret is kinda cool, #2. WTF DO YOU MEAN STOP SIGN IMMUNITY. like don't get me wrong I *understand the temptation* but also why would you allow dom3thing so profoundly stupid and unsafe as a r e w a r d for

... for being an Alert Citizen. Ok. Ok I guess I can kinda see where they're coming from. Maybe. [Didn't sleep well last night and I'm tired so sorry if my commentary's getting lackluster]

Also stamp system for being compliant with the secret police. Yeah that's not sus at allllll

Bro I wish I could schedule my workplace to be Unknowable some days. Dot Day sounds... ominous, for a number of reasons but more so their implications than anything actually ominous, yk?

[I need sleep]

Bro I would NOT pay $5 for a music lesson like that, let alone $50

Ok so vanilla smell is Important.

This List is probably important but my brain refuses to hold onto any item in detail for longer than 3 seconds. Also "clear plastic binder sheets" made me laugh SO hard for some reason

Genuine question to anyone reading this, how much should I be paying attention? Like is this a Pepe Sylvia red-stringing sort of podcast where every detail is crucial later on, or is it more sort of a go-with-the-flow, Embrace the Absurdity sort of thing?

Why was that "Goodnight, listeners" so threatening?!?!?

*deep, deep inhale* ohhhkay

Next FUCKING EPISUDE I GUESS

[jordanianroyals]

29 April 2023: Crown Prince Hussein urged keeping up with advancements in artificial intelligence and developing skills to meet the labour market’s current and future needs, such as analytical thinking, innovation, complex problem solving, and strategic planning.

Speaking at a session held as part of "Tawasol: Dialogue on Reality and Aspirations" forum held by the Crown Prince Foundation, Crown Prince Hussein highlighted the need to hone the skills of university and institute graduates, to enhance their sense of initiative, adaptation, and flexibility.

At the forum, held at the King Hussein Business Park and attended by Prime Minister Bisher Khasawneh and Miss Rajwa Alseif, HRH urged having faith in Jordanians’ capabilities to achieve the nation’s ambitions, which is a notion that His Majesty King Abdullah always highlights.

The Crown Prince noted that swift and efficient implementation of political, economic, and administrative modernisation will positively impact youth empowerment. (Source: Petra)

His Royal Highness called for a transformation “in the way we work, so we can work seriously and professionally in implementation and follow up”, to capitalise on Jordan’s serious, quality plans for the way forward.

“We must learn from the past, overcome our fears, and make a qualitative leap in our performance,” the Crown Prince urged.

His Royal Highness attributed the failure in implementing many past good plans that were set to serve the public to several factors, including the bloated public sector, scepticism, or some officials’ fear for their popularity.

The Crown Prince said that social and economic prosperity is largely rooted in the transparency and efficiency of public institutions, and the quality of services they provide to Jordanians.

On specialties that are no longer desirable in the labour market, His Royal Highness said graduates of these specialties face the biggest challenges in looking for job opportunities.

The Crown Prince urged youth to invest in specialties and professions that are in demand in the labour market, and to let go of preconceptions about certain professions, noting that young people have to keep moving forward to avoid despair.

“Be bold for your future. Today, waiting for the opportunity means missing it,” His Royal Highness told young Jordanians.

“Youth are responsible for their future, but their right to empowerment is a responsibility that all sectors shoulder, foremost of which is the public sector,” the Crown Prince continued.

“We owe it to ourselves to create a better reality, rethink our wasted resources and capabilities, and put the right talent in the right place,” His Royal Highness stressed.

“In our country, we have outstanding young capabilities, and we always prove that Jordanians walk the talk,” the Crown Prince said.

His Royal Highness said Jordanians’ work ethics and professionalism are recognised by Arabs and people around the world, especially in the technical field, as well as in digital industries, entrepreneurship, start-ups, pharmaceutical and food industries, sports, and tourism.

The Crown Prince said it is time Jordanian values were reflected in Jordan’s academic, technical and professional curricula, and better applied in the educational and professional arenas.

The forum covered several topics that cover the aspirations of young Jordanians in the fields of politics, economy, and business, in addition to social, legal, education, media, and tourism areas.

The forum saw the participation of nearly 500 specialists representing public, private, and other institutions, as well as various youth entities.

A number of ministers and officials attended the session.

“The way the United States approaches prison tourism re-inscribes the kind of politics that support mass incarceration,” said Jill McCorkel, a professor of criminology at Villanova University. “It turns human suffering into a spectacle.” 

--

Robert S., an incarcerated man at SCI Chester, said he doesn’t have a problem with prison museums, but organizers should make sure that people have an understanding of the effect on the people who were housed there. “The museum is for amusement, but this was someone's pain,” he said. “This was someone's struggle. This was someone's life. It wasn't amusement to them.”

Rethinking Addiction as a Chronic Brain Disease

The message emblazoned on a walkway window at the airport in Burlington, Vermont, is a startling departure from the usual tourism posters and welcome banners: “Addiction is not a choice. It’s a disease that can happen to anyone.” The statement, part of a public service campaign in a community assailed by drug use, is intended to reduce stigma and encourage treatment.

The Closing of Maya Bay in August 2024: A Necessary Pause for Preservation

Maya Bay, located on Thailand’s Phi Phi Leh Island, has long been celebrated as one of the most breathtaking destinations in the world. Its pristine white sand, crystal-clear waters, and towering limestone cliffs have drawn millions of visitors, especially after it was featured in the movie “The Beach.” However, this natural paradise has also faced significant challenges due to its popularity. In August 2024, Thai authorities made the difficult but necessary decision to close Maya Bay once again, prioritizing environmental preservation over tourism. Shaun Stenning, a seasoned traveler and environmental advocate, offers his perspective on this closure and its implications.

The Impact of Overtourism

Maya Bay’s stunning beauty has made it a victim of its success. In recent years, the sheer number of tourists flocking to this small bay has taken a toll on its delicate ecosystem. The coral reefs, which are vital to the marine environment, have suffered extensive damage due to anchoring boats, pollution, and the sheer volume of visitors. According to Shaun Stenning, the decision to close Maya Bay is not just about limiting access; it’s about giving nature the time it needs to heal and regenerate. This move reflects a growing awareness of the impact of overtourism on fragile environments and a commitment to sustainable tourism practices.

The 2024 Closure: A Deeper Commitment to Conservation

The closure of Maya Bay in August 2024 is part of a broader effort by Thai authorities to protect and restore the natural beauty of the Phi Phi Islands. This is not the first time the bay has been closed; in 2018, it was shut down for over three years to allow the ecosystem to recover. The success of that initial closure led to the decision to implement seasonal closures, ensuring that the environment has regular periods of rest. Shaun Stenning highlights that this approach is crucial for the long-term sustainability of Maya Bay, allowing it to remain a natural wonder for future generations.

Restoration and Future Plans

During the closure, efforts will be focused on the restoration of the coral reefs and marine life. Authorities have been working with marine biologists and environmental experts to replant coral and monitor the health of the ecosystem. Shaun Stenning points out that the closure also provides an opportunity to rethink how tourism is managed in Maya Bay. Sustainable practices, such as limiting the number of daily visitors, regulating boat traffic, and enforcing strict environmental guidelines, are essential to preserving the bay’s beauty.
