Faster planes and
cheaper flights
Faster planes and
cheaper flights are making it easier than ever before for people to travel. In
the most 'developed' societies, visiting exotic places is a sought-after status
symbol. The tourism industries of both developed and developing countries have
recognized this fact and are learning to take advantage of it.
There are, however, some problems
associated with this new industry. Firstly, there is the
increasing crime rate. Some local's tourists as an easy prey because, not
only are they in unfamiliar territory and therefore less able to take care of
themselves, but also they carry visible items of wealth, such as cameras
and jewelry which can be disposed of quickly for profit.
Another major problem is health. With
greater mobility comes greater danger of spreading contagious diseases around
the world. One carrier returning home could easily start an epidemic
before their illness was diagnosed. Moreover, the emergence of many
diseases which resist antibiotics is causing scientists to be increasingly
concerned about this issue.
Also to be considered is the
natural environment, which can be seriously threatened by too many
visitors. Australia's Great Barrier Reef, for example, is in danger of being
destroyed by tourists and there are plans to restrict visitors to some of the more
delicate coral cays.
These are just three of the reasons why
any country should be wary of committing itself to an extensive tourism
development program.

The
Houses of the Toraja
The ethnic groups in the mountain
regions of southwest and central Sulawesi (Celebes) are known by the name of
Toraja, which has come to mean "those who live upstream" or
"those who live in the mountains". Their name is in fact derived from
the word Raja, which in Sanskrit means "king". The society is
hierarchically structured: the noblemen are called rengnge, the ordinary people
to makaka, and the slaves to kaunan; birth determines which rank a person will
occupy.
The distinctive features of the
traditional houses (tongkonan) of the Toraja are the "buffalo horns",
the roof design and the rich decoration on the walls. The buffalo is a symbol
of status, courage, strength and fighting spirit.
Designed as a representation on the
universe, the tongkonan is constructed in three parts: the upper world (the
roof), the world of humans (the middle of the building), and the underworld
(the space under the floor). The highly distinctive roors constructed by the
Toraja given rise to various ingenious interpretations. Certainly the roof is
something of deep significance for the Toraja, and even today they build
"modern" (in other words houses built with cement) houses with such
roofs.
