On the 12th October 2009 I attended a lecture and tutorial whereby as a group we had to present, individually, three contemporary issues that have come to our attention. Before attending my sessions I was debating, as you do, which issues I should raise to my group and realised how important it is to talk about charities such as Tourism Concern which have been active for over 20 years and now require our help in order to survive and continue their mission that clearly has made a difference. The major problem is, is that Tourism Concern needs £40,000 to continue their much needed work which has proved a huge success, as well as, stated by the Observer "...Tourism Concern needs a more public voice, so the general public recognises what it does". So, let us begin by spreading the word!! It is such a shame that after so many years of dedication to the tourism industry we might lose such a gem that has transformed the lives of so many. So below are two links that I believe deserve to be looked at and then thought about. Remember, it is possible for Tourism Concern to pull through so lets lend a hand.
