Abstract
The geographic location chosen to be the central focus of this essay is located in Vancouver's West End, about a ten minute walk west of downtown. The writer describes that the city block is bordered by the four streets of Haro, Barclay, Broughton and Nicola and that the most famous landmark in the park is the Roedde House Museum. The writer notes that originally, all of the houses except for this one were intended for demolition. Further, the writer mentions that only through the efforts of many diligent historic preservationists was this area saved and restored to its historic form.
From the Paper
"The city of Vancouver is located in a popular region of North America that is known for breathtaking scenery, cultural diversity and historic residential areas. Vancouver proudly boasts several such neighborhoods, which have been the most densely populated on the continent for the better part of the 20th century and beyond. One of the most famous and distinctive of these is Barclay Heritage Square, a virtual jewel of historic Victorian gardens, benches, even a gazebo, that encompasses a single city block. It is all nestled modestly among the mostly residential streets of the neighborhood just west of the downtown core, most commonly known as the West End."

Abstract
This paper examines how heritage tourism is one of the fastest-growing tourism types in the world today. It focuses on the heritage tourism market in Australia, including a discussion on the heritage tourists themselves. In addition, it reviews and assesses current Australian heritage resources, as well as the management of successful heritage tourism sites. It also evaluates the best way to maintain sustainable heritage tourism within Australia through the examination of a specific case study of Kakadu National Park. It demonstrates that, with proper maintenance and care, the heritage tourism market can thrive and can be an extremely useful tool in teaching future generations, both indigenous and foreign, about the country and the people who have made that country great.
From the Paper
"In addition to the evaluation of specific sites, there is also important value in understanding the heritage themes that deem areas to be considered a cultural site. The Australian heritage Commission identifies nine main themes for heritage resources, each of which includes a host of sub themes. The main themes are the evolution of the environment, the indigenous populations, the development of local, regional, and state economy, the construction of settlements and towns, Australian work environments, education, government, cultural, and phases of life. Within each theme are sub themes such as historical people involved, the evolution of the main theme, and historical references to main points within each theme (Australian Heritage Commission, 2001, 3)."

"The author also explains that the governor was instructed by the company to consult the local chiefs about the rights of the natives. (Tenant 1990) The company also asserted that the natives only had rights to land which they themselves had cultivated or had built houses upon. (Tenant 1990) The natives would also retain the right to hunt and fish. Furthermore, any land that was not being used was described as waste and subject to colonization. (Tenant 1990) The Company also asserted that if the natives wanted access to the wasted land they must properly register with the colony. (Tenant 1990)"

Abstract
This paper explains that Vancouver is a city situated on the west coast of Canada, in the province of British Columbia. The author points out that the western half of Canada was the last half to be reached by white settlers; therefore, Vancouver is a relatively young city. The paper relates that it is one of the few major cities in North America, which was only founded after the invention of the camera; thereby, historians can access pictures documenting its entire history.

"Vancouver is a city situated on the west coast of Canada, in the province of British Columbia. The western half of Canada was the last half to be reached by white settlers, and therefore Vancouver is a relatively young city. In fact, it is one of the few major cities in North America that was only founded after the invention of the camera, so the historian can access pictures documenting its entire history. Although the area was inhabited by natives, such as the Musqueam, for thousands of years, the first Europeans only arrived as part of a gold rush in the 1850s."

Abstract
The paper discusses how the city of Vancouver, in British Columbia, is a vibrant commercial and cultural center and it offers all the attractions of a major metropolitan area. The paper portrays how nearby Vancouver Island is a place of stunning natural beauty, with an appeal to the eco-traveler and outdoor enthusiast. The paper explains how the growth of tourism went hand in hand with the development of an increasingly urban society. Places like Vancouver Island offered a tourist a wild and rugged atmosphere that was fast disappearing in the vicinities of major Eastern cities.
From the Paper
"Tourism is a major industry in almost all parts of the globe. Many developing nations exact the lion's share of their income from foreign guests, while in developed countries, like Canada, tourism can be an equally lucrative source of revenue. In a post-industrial nation, tourism adds to the economic mix, diversifying array of service sector jobs. The Island of Vancouver, in British Columbia, is already a high growth area that attracts large numbers of new residents each year, and is a magnet for business investment and development. Tourists, too, find the region immensely appealing."

"Heritage tourism or cultural tourism is a branch of tourism offering the cultural dimension of the location where tourism occurs as the main value. Historical sites are usually the main attraction in this case. The main coordinates of heritage tourism include culture, historic information, interaction with the local people and eventually, a perceived sense of adventure. Heritage tourism allows people to get in touch with the past. At the same time, it is important to mention that it contributes to the preservation of the cultural heritage itself."
"The products that heritage tourism offers can be customer oriented. From this point of view, one could speak about creative tourism. Creative tourism is based on the principle of interactivity."

From the Paper
"Success in the hospitality industry increasingly demands an understanding of many other aspects of popular culture and trends. The term "lifestyle hotel" that has now been adopted by a certain kind of brand name accommodation says it all. Meant as a take off on the "boutique hotel" it carries even further the idea that hospitality is about how people live, and what they want out of life. The personal touches of the lifestyle and boutique hotels, lodges, resorts, and other accommodations speak to the almost hyper-individuality of today's traveler - whether businessperson or tourist. This hyper-individualism is a feature of much of contemporary culture. The hospitality industry must permit itself to be directed by the same powerful forces that have shaped - and dramatically transformed - modern society. The old communal world that existed prior to the social and cultural revolutions of the 1960s has produced a new ethos, one that seemingly shares little with the community-based standards of an earlier day."

Aboriginals in Vancouver, 2007.
This paper examines the Aboriginal population of Vancouver.
1,571 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 6 sources, MLA, £ 36.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper presents a variety of statistics and reveals that members of Vancouver's Aboriginal population are likely to be younger, poorer and less well paid than their non-Aboriginal neighbors. The paper discusses the services and institutions that serve or support them and notes how problems are sometimes exacerbated by the fact that agencies are not status-blind, causing some Aboriginals to fall through the cracks. The paper highlights how there remains substantial work to be done before equality among all Vancouver residents can be attained.
From the Paper
"Approximately 4.4% of the population of Canada identifies as at least partly Aboriginal. This proportion is steadily increasing, due to the fact that the Aboriginal population is growing faster than the non-Aboriginal population - and this trend is intensifying. For example, Statistics Canada notes that during the 20th century, the number of Aboriginal people increased by a factor of 10, while the total population of Canada increased by a factor of only 6. In addition, this difference became much more marked in the second half of the century. In the first half of the 20th century, the total population of Canada more than doubled, growing by 161%, while the numbers of Aboriginal people grew by just 29%."

My Vancouver, 2008.
This paper argues that the author's city, Vancouver, could become the best city in the world instead of its current number three position.

Abstract
This paper exclaims that the author personally finds it hard to believe that Vancouver is not the best city of all because it offers a peaceful life, breathtaking scenery with a wealth of outdoor activities, beautiful beaches and snow-capped mountains, diverse multicultural neighborhoods, restaurants and shopping areas, world-class entertainment and first world quality services. The author points out that, by early spring, having survived the admittedly wet and rainy winter, Vancouverites are found on sidewalks all over the city, sipping their lattes in the cheerful spring sun and displaying their winter-pallid arms with impunity. The paper stresses that, if the city planner's could just get details like sanitation up to scratch, it might even make it to number one, and, in the meantime, it's full steam ahead to the Olympics in Vancouver in 2010. The paper includes many color pictures.
From the Paper
"And Vancouver's not just a laid back place where you can drink the best coffee in the world and get away with murder (well, driving under the influence and grand theft, anyway). The second thing you'll notice - probably while you're sipping your delicious and moderately priced latte - is that it has scenery to die for. The city is ringed by beautiful snow-capped mountains, as well as gorgeous beaches. Sparkling (albeit icy) water flows up from the Strait of Georgia into the Burrard Inlet, ensuring that there is beach front right in the heart of the city."

From the Paper
"Today, there is a growing Asian community in Vancouver, and the trend is expected to continue in the future (Hiebert, 1999). While the history of Indo-Canadian settlement in Vancouver can be traced to the late 19th century, the community remained relatively small until the 1960s (Hiebert & Walton-Roberts, 1997). In fact, South Asian immigrants have a long history of settlement in Canada; however, the majority of this community arrived after the criteria for entering Canada were relaxed during the 1960s; in addition, the arrival of significant numbers of Vietnamese immigrants is even more recent, beginning in the mid-1970s (Hiebert, 1999).

Vancouver Bungalow, 2005.
An overview of the history and architecture of the Vancouver bungalow.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper analyzes the values embodied in the bungalow house, abundantly present in Vancouver, mostly erected between 1945 and 1960. It loos at the precursor of this bungalow was the California bungalow, which achieved massive popularity a few decades earlier - even to the point that there were mail order bungalows available.
From the Paper
"The bungalow, popularized in the mid-twentieth century, is still abundant in many areas of Vancouver. Much as the townhouse now offers affordable, space-efficient housing, the bungalow also espoused these values in the form of a detached dwelling. These houses were simple and inexpensive to build, unpretentious, and built for comfort and efficiency - in short, they were just what was needed to accommodate the proliferation of young families and immigrants in the era following the Second World War."

Abstract
This paper discusses Canada Place which is located on the waterfront of downtown Vancouver. It specifically discusses the history behind the construction of the building and the architectural design. The paper goes on to describe public opinion of the architecture of the structure, as well as the opinion of architectural critics.
From the Paper
"Architecture in Vancouver In this essay I review Canada Place, a very unusual building situated at the bottom of Howe Street in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. I consider this to be a post-modernist building. Canada Place is located on the waterfront of downtown Vancouver. It was built for "Expo 86" - the World Fair that was held in 1986 in Vancouver. The objective was an attempt to rival the impressive Sydney Opera House in Australia. The outcome was a somewhat strange looking building that elicits a wide variety of responses that run the gamut from admiration to disgust.The only thing it does not evoke is boredom. People have compared it to a tent, a camping trip, an insect and a sailing ship. "
