The conversation. (2016). After the cyclone: why relying on tourism isn’t in Vanuatu’s interests. [online] Available at: http://theconversation.com/au http://theconversation.com/after-the-cyclone-why-relying-on-tourism-isnt-in-vanuatus-interests-39874 [Accessed 2 Mar. 2016].
The main arguments for this site is “why depending on tourism isn’t in Vanuatu’s interests” The point is that; after the cyclone, Vanuatu isn’t getting that much tourists anymore due to the damage the cyclone has done. The topics covered are Vanuatu, its cyclone, tourism, and government. This site is about the latest news and interesting facts that are going around globally.
This site is a VERY useful source as it is from a series of news reporters that post there information online. It is a pretty good source, yet some of my other sources are more accurate and give more sufficient data. The information, however, is reliable. It does take a small variety of opinions in. (so It is slightly objective.) The goal of this source was to find interesting topics and find more about them, then, posting ‘their’ research online.
This source was helpful to me, it helped me gather some important data and information of Vanuatu’s dependence on tourism. I used this source to answer my “demographics of tourists question.” In the site, it explains that the runway is damaged and therefore tourists cannot go by air---------“ It didn’t really change how I thought about this topic.

The main argument in this website is that the negative impacts of tourism are heavy and that we should pay more attention to it. The point of the “essay” is to explain ‘Her’ stand on “do the benefits of tourism weigh out the costs?” the topics that are covered are tourism and its benefits/losses. –Refer to last couple of sentences-
This is a useful source, it is lower classed than my other bibliography’s but is still at a satisfactory level of trustworthy information. This report is more biased then objective, yet she, (or the person who wrote this essay) did use a lot of statistics to back up her opinion. The goal of this source, perhaps is to convince the reader that there are quite a few negative impacts of tourism and that the costs are possibly too high to balance out the benefits.
This source was somewhat helpful to me.
It helps me understand a little bit more about the benefits and losses of tourism.
I can use this information to add to “do the benefits outweigh the costs?”.
It actually has changed a lot about how I think about tourism itself.
