E-learning Course on Leisure on Water

2011-03-22T12:59:00.000-07:00

Basic Course on Leisure on Water

Over centuries people have been using water transportation as a need to move people and cargo from one place to other. However, other modes of transport, especially air transport has made a vast impact on transportation of people due to its quickness and time savings. Thus, trans- oceanic passenger transport over water declined over a period of time and it has remained mostly a leisure activity where many tourists have attracted to. Ocean Liners which used to ply on busy sea routes were converted into leisure cruisers where it opened new vista of Tourist activity.

Passenger transport over water is still used as a necessity in many places to fill the gaps such as creeks, lakes, rivers etc. where ferries are used to transport not only the passengers but even their vehicles such as cars, scooters, buses and even trains. Some of the ferries have added lot more value to their services than just transportations such as luxury, best cuisines, entertainment etc.

River cruising has opened up new tourist destinations which were not accessible by other modes of transport. Canal boat holidays have become very popular in Europe where one can just glide through beautiful landscape. House boats in many parts of the world have attracted many tourists who have taken fancy in a floating house with all the luxuries.

Water based Leisure Tourism has become very popular. There are innumerable options such as Ferries, River Cruises, Ocean Cruises, Canal Boats, House Boats etc. Each type of leisure has lot many activities for tourists. If you are selling water based Leisure Tourism, this is an ideal course to provide you insight and would help you sell the Tour packages offering Leisure on Water.

In this course, we will study different types of River & Ocean Cruises and various ferries which are used by the Tourists. We also understand Canal Holidays and House boat products. We try to cover the entire spectrum of cruising as an industry under tourism and its sales.

Happy Sailing!

E-learning Course on World Time Zones

2011-02-23T23:40:00.000-08:00

World Time Zones

Ever wondered why there are different times at different places? When it is daytime in New York, its night in Dubai and vice versa. Every country follows different times according to their locations. When you fly from East to West, one tends to gain time and in the reverse direction one loses time. If one has breakfast in London before boarding a supersonic flight to Washington, he / she can be in Washington at breakfast time again on the same day! Why do such things happen? This happens because of the Earth’s rotation which gives us day and night! As the earth turns, the sun appears to move across the sky. This apparent motion gives us day and night. A sundial uses the position of the sun in the sky to tell time. The time measured by a sundial is solar time. Solar time is 12 noon when the sun is on the (observer's local) meridian.

In order to efficiently use and measure time, everyone in the world would like to fix noon as the time at which the sun is at its highest point in the sky (i.e. when it is crossing the meridian). However, this seems to be impossible without the use of time zones. Since the Earth rotates at the rate of 15 degrees every hour, the sun is at its highest point in the sky at different times in the day for different countries around the globe. The idea behind time zones is that we can divide the world into 24 equal slices or zones, 15 degrees each, and adjust the clocks accordingly for each zone. We can thus preserve the need to fix noon as the time when the sun is highest in the sky for each country and yet also make it easy to understand times between different zones. The person who famously proposed this was Sir Sanford Fleming, a Scottish-born Canadian, in the late 19th century. Although well-received, this system could only be instituted worldwide in 1929, establishing arguably the most crucial system of the modern world.

To know more about World Time Zones you can enroll for this course.
