<title>Dubrovnik, Croatia</title>
<link>http://www.trifter.com/Europe/Croatia/Dubrovnik-Croatia.108913</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<h3> Location </h3>
<p>Dubrovnik is an ancient city in the southeastern corner of Croatia, a country in Europe. Croatia is located in the south of Europe. The city walls are only for pedestrian use as that's how it was centuries ago. Many have said that when you walk into the city you feel like you have traveled through time. The sea, that is beautiful and clean, surrounds the city.</p>
 
<h3>World Heritage Classifications </h3>
<p>The reason that the World Heritage Committee chose Dubrovnik to be a World Heritage Site was because of its historical significance. It needs to be protected for future generations so they too can experience the history and beauty. The old city of Dubrovnik was added to UNESCO world heritage list 1979. The classifications Dubrovnik complied with were: · CI - represents a masterpiece of human creative genius. · CIII - bears a unique or at least exceptional testimony to a cultural tradition or to a civilization, which is living, or which has disappeared. · CIV - is an outstanding example of a type of building or architectural or technological ensemble or landscape, which illustrates (a) significant stage(s) in human history. The old city of Dubrovnik is classified as a human world heritage environment.</p>
 
<h3>General Information</h3>
<p> The city became an important part of the Mediterranean sea power from the 13th century onwards. An earthquake damaged it in 1667, but Dubrovnik still managed to preserve its beautiful churches, monasteries, palaces and fountains. It was placed on the UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) restoration programme after it was damaged by armed forces in the 1990's. Also, Dubrovnik was originally called Ragusa. Part 4: Preservation I think that Dubrovnik should be preserved for future generations because I would like my children and grandchildren to see the history and beauty. Human or natural forces, especially human as we can change the effect if we are aware, should not damage it. UNESCO has assisted in restoring Dubrovnik and is now off the endangered list of world heritage sites.</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.trifter.com%2FEurope%2FCroatia%2FDubrovnik-Croatia.108913"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.trifter.com%2FEurope%2FCroatia%2FDubrovnik-Croatia.108913" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<title>Barbados</title>
<link>http://www.trifter.com/Caribbean-&amp;-Latin-America/Barbados/Barbados.25616</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p >Barbados's many tourist attractions, location, people, and interesting facts are what makes it a wonderful island.	             </p>

 <p>Barbados is located in 14N and 59W.This Island was once a British Colony that held slaves who harvested sugar cane. This island is also in the northwestern hemisphere. It is surrounded by the Caribbean and Atlantic Ocean. It is about 166 square miles or 430 square km. Also, because of its relative location and size it has many beaches and places for water type activities. </p><p>                     Another great thing is Barbados's rich culture. The total population is 259,000. Also, these people's ancestors were African and British origin. They were slaves that worked  and colonized it after slavery was abolished. The main language is English, so if you plan on going there you're all set. And since the temperature is hot they wear light European clothing.	     </p><p>       Next to the great culture, Barbados also has many great places to visit. At the island's capital city of Bridgetown there are many shops, hotels, and churches. The same goes for Speight town Also you can enjoy luxurious scenery at Mullins Beach and enjoy the beautiful bay at Sandy Lane.	</p><p>           Next are the islands food, economy, and education. One other thing is that nearly all the adults on Barbados can read. This comes from the law that every child between the ages of 5-16 must attend school. So when they grow up many adults can read and write. The harvesting of sugar cane is a very important industry, but tourist attractions are achieving it in importance. Tourists should also prepare for some dishes like the flying fish burger or okra pudding or even roasted suckling pigs. The sugar cane also creates sweet and spicy rum that one person in the 17 century called “Devilish.”	</p><p>      In conclusion, the diverse culture, location, and tourist attractions are what make this country a great vacation spot for weary workers or for people who just want to have fun and a good time.  </p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.trifter.com%2FCaribbean-%26amp%3B-Latin-America%2FBarbados%2FBarbados.25616"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.trifter.com%2FCaribbean-%26amp%3B-Latin-America%2FBarbados%2FBarbados.25616" border="0"/></a>]]></description>
