2. Sinking a Warship • A group in England is planning to sink a retired warship in order to use it as an artificial diving reef. They plan to sink the ship off the Cornish coast and hope the project will generate ten million pounds a year for the local economy by attracting diving enthusiasts.

3. Hippies Go Home • Goa`s Anjuna beach is a place which symbolises the carefree hippie lifestyle. It is a place where low budget tourist go when they have run out of money. At the weekly market, travellers try to sell their cameras, cassettes, guitars and even their clothes. However, it may soon all be over because the authorities have announced that they want to discourage tourists who visit the area on shoestring budgets.

4. Inca Cable Car • The Inca people built Machu Picchu high up in the mountains because the area was so remote. Now these pristine mountains will be changed forever by Swiss engineering. A Swiss company plans to build a cable car to lift visitors 500m up into the mountains. This means that travellers will no longer have to walk for days along the Inca Trail to sample the magic of Manchu Picchu.

5. African Village Experience An eco-tourism project has just been launched is South Luangwa National Park in Zambia. Tourists will be offered the chance to encounter a wide range of wildlife and a great deal more.
