Cusack and Dixon (2006) add niche tourism is known to present diversity and provide opportunities with a form of tourism that aims towards sustainability alongside considering expenditure from tourists. Furthermore, it suggests a more practical set of strategies that distinguishes tourists. Gartner (1996) demonstrates how niche tourism consists of distinct interests, culture and/or activity built tourism including small proportion of tourist in authentic surroundings. Moreover, niche tourism can fall into more specific categories where cultural, environmental, rural and urban sectors are different components to consider when understanding the concept niche tourism (Robinson and Novelli, 2005). Drawing on key literature about eco-tourism planning and how ecotourism is marketed, this report studies the ecotourism prospects in Costa Rica. It also examines elements impacting this specific type of niche which considers the consistent alterations to make the destination more sustainable for tourists. This report will firstly focus on understanding the concept of ecotourism and the principles implemented. This leads on to discussion for focusing on the case study of Costa Rica and how it has developed into an ecotourism destination.

The have a collection of 5,000 characters that cover a 70-year company span and sever media types (comics, toys, movies, et cetera). “Marvel’s strategy is to leverage its franchises in a growing array of opportunities around the world, including feature films, consumer products, toys, video games, animated television, direct-to-DVD and online” (Viacom). Marvel Studios mission is to “develop and manage entertainment projects that leverage Marvel’s vast universe of creative content” (Marvel.com). Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Marvel had licensed out a number of their characters for movies and direct-to-TV productions. Very few of these are remembered today. One that you might recall is Howard the Duck; it didn’t do so well in the box office. The reasoning behind such failures was the lack of research the company put into it’s licensing (Stax). Marvel Studios was created in the 1990s and it run by Avi Arad (President and CEO). Prior to heading Marvel Studios, Avi Arad had become one of the world’s most predominant toy designers, he produced children’s programming and had created dozens of successful products.

...CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY User authentication for network or internet based environment posed a challenging task for system and network administrator. This statement is true and is still very much applicable till these days as it is a well known fact that authentication is being widely incorporated as part of access control for most systems. Authentication has been the catalyst for business organization in information protection and security. Implementation of access control policies, standards or procedures involves the identification of appropriate authentication mechanism whereby the criticality of the information being protected are being used as justification for having a more refined authentication mechanism as compared to a more simple approach. Without the appropriate authentication mechanism in place, attacker could easily gain access to systems or applications by utilizing personal information, gained through various means, including but not limited to social engineering. Conventional textual passwords are the most common mechanism used in authentication. This method requires a user to enter their username and password, either in alphabet or numeric, or more commonly, a mixture of both forms as authentication tokens to gain access to systems or applications. Two recent surveys have shown that users choose short, simple passwords that are easily guessable, for example, “password”, personal names of family members, names...

Clark 18 Getting the Most out of Your Product Development Process by Paul S. Adler, Avi Mandelbaum, Viên Nguyen, and Elizabeth Schwerer 34 Why Good Projects Fail Anyway by Nadim F. Matta and Ronald N. Ashkenas Product 4864 Collection Overview COPYRIGHT © 2003 HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL PUBLISHING CORPORATION. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Has your company’s project management run amok? Are more than half your biggest projects failing outright? And are other large initiatives running months behind schedule, stuck in seemingly permanent logjams? Are you particularly frustrated by projects whose myriad tasks were executed flawlessly—but still don’t deliver the expected results? Worse, do you suspect that projects consuming the most resources have the least connection to your company’s strategy? Such chaos describes many companies— but that’s little comfort. The key is to understand the myopia causing these disasters. Most companies deal with projects individually—pushing each through the pipeline as quickly and cost-effectively as possible. But this approach doesn’t help you make vital big-picture decisions: “What mix of projects would be best for our organization?”“How do we allocate...

...CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1. INTRODUCTION There is an increasing need of network storage system in today’s world. Also, nowadays the files are stored over the network. This system provides an easy way to retrieve any file which is stored over the network. The IP address of any system which is connected to the network can be found out just by selecting the name of the system. Therefore the range of IP address where the search has to be done can be found by that. The required file can be searched easily when this IP address range is known. The name of the file to be searched is given as input. If possible the file format is also given along with it. The IP address range where the search has to be performed is also selected. If there is any particular system outside that particular range they also can be selected for search operation to be performed. The search is done in each working and connected system in the shared drive and the search results are displayed in the grid view which is the output. The file can be accessed just by clicking the result that appears. Thus this provides a easy way to search a file over a number of systems connected to a network simultaneously. Thus it is very effective since the search is done in a number of systems simultaneously. CHAPTER 2 LITERATURE REVIEW 2. LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1 Existing System: When a particular file has...
