Saudi Arabia opens its doors to tourists
poldy wrote: If expensive energy and global warming reshape the topology of the wealthy nations, how many members of the populations of those countries will be able to continue our energy-intensive pursuits? - Man is a very industrious creature and suitable new sources of energy will be found...the Chicken Littles currently braying about the End Of Civilisation As We Know It were the same ones back in the 19th century predicting the imminent end of civilisation because wood for fuel was being rapidly depleted. Their concerns were rendered moot by the discovery of new energy sources... - Why is "global warming" necessarily a bad thing...??? -- Best Greg |

Well the locals have money. A lot of them have cushy govt. jobs. You hear about young men with no jobs racing expensive cars. There are suppose to be a lot of malls. So they must have great attitudes towards visitors. The Saudis are rather like the Beverly Hillbillies -- all cash, all flash, no class. -- Best Greg |

Perhaps you have this meaningless babble in groups like rec.travel.america and so worth. The audience - I am sure about this - would be more adaptive. You're more fun when you're sober :-) Is the snow starting to melt in Lapland yet...??? -- Best Greg |

Infidels aren't allowed to witness the Haj. Especially those snarking on someone else's religion. I think we should drop a big fat nuclear bomb on Mecca druing the Haj... Start with kilo ton gRunge as a warning of just how nasty the USA can be. No need for French nuclear weapons -- gRunge is enough of a "force de frappe"... -- Best Greg |

Saudi Arabia hopes to attract a million visitors a year with the help of a new tourism visa. Eighteen approved tour operators in the kingdom have begun offering visa services as part of a series of tourism initiatives announced last week at the Arabian Travel Market in Dubai. The Saudi government is also to begin issuing permits for tour guides from next month. I bet that people will be lining up to go to a country that has previously barred tourists and keeps foreign workers in housing compounds partly for their own safety and partly to stop them from polluting Saudis with their infidel beliefs. I can't myself wasting my time and money to go a land of sand, sun and Islamic extremists. |

Methodology? I'm just nuturing a prejudice. Don't pretend you don't have 'em too! Prejudices are like rude bits; everyone has them, but it isn't considered polite to wave them around in public. If you really want to see prejudice, go to Saudi Arabia. |

Do you have some figures ? It's about time they invited tourists to propagate their infidel beliefs. |

Saudi Arabia opens its doors to tourists
Tom Peel writes:
Isn't it interesting that the countries with the largest oil reserves are the ones that are planning for a future without oil, while the rest of the world blunders onwards as if there were tomorrow. There is oil outside the countries with the largest reserves, so oil will still exist in the world even after it can no longer be found in those countries. That's why oil-producing companies have a special interest in planning for a future without oil. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

Brainwashed by religious education. Don't know what it is about Islam that makes it more effective than other religions but they certainly make it stick. The religion and the societies that embrace it are younger. They will learn, in time. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |
