Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2017 im Fachbereich Tourismus - Sonstiges, Note: 1,7, Fachhochschule Westküste Heide, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Ein zunehmend an Bedeutung gewinnendes Urlaubssegment entspringt unter anderem dem Trend zum Aufenthalt in der Natur ¿ der Radtourismus. Radtouristen haben jedoch nicht nur besondere Ansprüche an ihre Urlaubsdestination, sondern auch ihre ganz eigenen Motive und Interessen. Gleichermaßen ist auch der Stellenwert der Kanaren als Urlaubsdestination in den vergangenen Jahren noch weiter gestiegen. Besonders auf Gran Canaria wurden zuletzt in Bezug auf die internationalen Touristenankünfte neue Rekordwerte erzielt. Einen nicht geringen Anteil an diesem Trend haben auch Aktivtouristen, zu denen unter anderem Wanderer, Golfer, aber eben auch Radtouristen gehören. Doch wo genau liegen die Präferenzen dieser Zielgruppe? Welche naturräumlichen und infrastrukturellen Voraussetzungen müssen gegeben sein, damit eine Destination für Radtouristen attraktiv ist? Neben der Klärung dieser Fragen beschäftigt sich diese Arbeit mit einer Untersuchung des Stellenwerts, den der Radtourismus auf dem Tourismusmarkt des Untersuchungsraums einnimmt. Darüber hinaus wird erforscht, welche Veränderungen in Zukunft eine bessere Ausschöpfung des Potenzials ermöglichen können.

Mais si vous aimez voir du pays autrement, vous confronter à des situations loufoques, drôles, dingues, parfois torrides ou carrément glaçantes, alors vous allez vous régaler avec ce style sec et claquant, sans fioritures, et toujours avec humour et sensibilité.Des pages truffées de remises en question et de mises à nu de l'auteur. Il est comme vous. Ne sommes-nous pas tous pareils ? Vous entrez dans son coeur, qui n'est pas si différent du vôtre, avec peut-être un poil de courage en plus, et un besoin de nouvelles réponses spirituelles. Il nous livre sa version intime de ses expériences pour mieux comprendre nos vies. C'est du jour après jour. L'aventure nous emporte, on y est, on voyage et ça va vite !Entre sérénité méditative et débauche, stupre et luxure en Asie. Des capitales bruyantes jusqu'au fin fond de la jungle thaïlandaise, dans un monastère bouddhiste entouré de cobras où sa vie prendra un nouvel essor spirituel, il nous emmène dans une aventure intérieure palpitante et chaude.Extrait :Au Reggae Pub, je me fais accoster par la plus jolie thaïe que j'aie jamais vue, très sexy, trop peut-être. Je ne saurais dire si c'est un mec ou une fille mais le résultat est stupéfiant, je suis ébahi, filet de bave aux lèvres.... Immédiatement après les « What's your name » habituels, il ou elle me propose de faire l'amour car ses parents sont pauvres et qu'elle veut se faire greffer un clitoris d'autruche ou quelque chose dans le genre. C'était de toute façon trop rapide pour que cela ne soit pas une pute qui tapine. Bon, gentiment je lui dis d'aller se faire voir chez les schtroumpfs et de se chercher un autre client, mais elle ne connait pas les schtroumpfs. Je retourne au bar. Là, je tombe sur une autre thaïe, jolie, gentille, pas agressive du genre « hello, what's your name, you want to fuck ? », donc plus dans mon état d'esprit idéalo-romantico-obsédé. On a passé la soirée à danser, s'embrasser. Dieu que c'est bon de retoucher une femme !
