A Brief Note On The South West Coast Of India

Before 1448, European had to use the Silk Road to trade with Asia. In 1453, Muslim took over Constantinople; the only way to Asia had been cut. European nations started to use the Maritime way, and they took over many places in Asia as their access to an easier trade system. Among these European nations, like what they did to America, their goals and the way they achieved their initiatives in Asia are different from one another. Portuguese was the first group that explored the way to Asia without going through Muslims.

First Coast, also known as Northeast Florida, is located on the Atlantic coast, comprising of five counties surrounding Jacksonville: Duval, Baker, Clay, Nassau and St. Johns. It extends past the southern end of Anastasia Island to Marineland. The name “First Coast” originally appeared in a marketing campaign in the 1980s, and has its origins as the first area of Florida to be colonized by Europeans. Ponce De Leon is believed to have landed in the First Coast region during the early 1500s on his first expedition. In the 1560s, the French established the colony of Fort Caroline in what is today Jacksonville. First Coast is not only known for its historical significance, but it is also the state’s best-kept secret as vacationers paradise, that

With the years of development of trades between Silk Roads and the Indian Ocean, both went through some changes along with being tied to each other. For the silk roads, Roman and Egyptian Jews would travel through the silk roads as they were the most common traders. Although for the Indian ocean Muslim traders had dominated the sea. The world's shipping lanes was the Indian ocean during the years 1100-1500 A.D, as Arab sailors soon were masters of the sea trade in the ocean. When northern groups had taken over parts of silk routes, sea trades were taken as they were alternate paths.This resulted in Chinese becoming masters of ship building and merchants creating new trade routes and a new credit system. When the Song dynasty came, silk roads were becoming less common in use of trade as sea trades were becoming more common as they were much cheaper and safer. Trades in the Indian Ocean was not only becoming more common just because of the conditions, but also because of the hajj where Muslims were supposed to travel at least once in their lifetime to

There were many changes and continuities in the Indian ocean trade routes from the classical to the post classic time period. The trade along the Indian Ocean spread culture, religion, technology, crops, and other goods. This diffusion of goods, technology, and religion along the Indian Ocean trade routes was very similar to the diffusion of European and Native American goods, technology, and religion during the 15th-17th centuries in the Americas, often known as the age of exploration. This is because along the India indian ocean during the post classical period, buddhism and hinduism spread to Africa and China and Islam spread into India. From India, many goods including cotton, spices, black pepper, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, nutmeg,

In the book The Indian Ocean in World History, according to Dr. Milo Kearney the Indian Ocean played a key role in the rise and domination of many state’s and region’s economic standing. Dr. Kearney informs readers about how the influence of the Indian Ocean has been underestimated or completely ignored of other states and regions. However, he confirms, “Indian Ocean trade has always been a major indicator of a state’s or region’s prominence and leadership from a global perspective.” Throughout history, trade on the Indian Ocean had in turn helped the state or region’s success. Dr. Kearney gives an example of the effect of Indian Ocean trade by explaining its role in Portugal`s economic success in the 1500s. He also elaborates on the concept

A coastal plain is a low flat surface that is a part of the coast of the Atlantic ocean. This area takes up almost half of the whole state of North Carolina. Here you get all four seasons, and sometimes you can see it snow on the beach while it can also get to 100 degrees The Outer Banks is made of three parts. This includes the Tidewater, Outer banks, and the Inner Coastal Plains. The outer banks is about 175 miles long and consists of many barrier islands. Barrier islands are thin islands separated from shore by sounds. A sound is a narrow, large body of water that separates the two parts of land. Some of the islands include Hattera,Oracoke, and Bodie islands. Though these islands are major vacation spots in North Carolina they include

Tired of ferry line-ups and traffic jams? The B.C. Marine Trails Network Association (BCMTNA) has the solution! Imagine a magnificent, 257-kilometre saltwater route connecting Vancouver’s lower mainland to Victoria. Granted, you will need to rethink the amount of luggage you are toting as you will require a canoe, kayak or small beachable boat to travel along the Salish Sea Marine Trail. This spectacular route, designed specifically for paddlers, will add an impressive water leg to the Great Trail, previously known as the Trans Canada Trail. If all goes according to plan the trail will be complete in time for Canada’s 150 birthday celebration in July 2017. Now that’s a birthday

The Indian Ocean has always been a power trading region, a passageway between​ regions of the world that enfluenced the spread of languages, religion, and even people along with econmic views and technology. During the rise and fall of important empires, trade routes have changed and domination has changed hands plenty of times over history. While the goods traded have stayed about the same, the traders and the powers behind them changed from 7th to 17th century.

At Hasting’s Point it was evident from the ecosystems visited that there exist many, possible future implications due to human impacts. The value of these ecosystems to us as a resource is immense, however human activity, in particular tourism, threatens to undermine this value. Tourism is comprised of several damaging factors: directly interacting with ecosystems; pollution; development of the area and increased popularity. We rely on these ecosystems for food, relaxation, medicine (scientific research), natural balance and, paradoxically, tourism. However if nothing is done to rectify and/or control this issue, these ecosystems in Hasting’s Point, like many others, run the risk of being destroyed and losing their value as a resource. It

The commercial life in the Indian Ocean region during 650 C.E to 1750 C.E was altered, mainly so after the fall of the Mongol Empire in the 14th century. The fall ultimately led to a number of changes, such as The Columbian Exchange which affected what they traded, and competition for control between Portuguese and Arabs over who would control the trade region. Although changes occurred, the trade routes stayed the same during the region.

This chapter discusses the interaction between the Europe, Africa and Asia regarding their exploration and long distance trade. Portuguese mariners were sailing around the continent of Africa and through the Indian Ocean in hoping to exchange gold for pepper and spices in India. Russian voyages built empire stretched across Eurasia. Their goal was to explore the Ocean basin. Also, the chapter considers the motive and ways of the European trade and exploration such as: spice trade, spreading Christianity, use of technology such as astrolabe and cross-staff; magnetic compass to navigate. Also, the Columbian exchange was including in food crops, animals and

All throughout the blue currents of the Indian Ocean, in which this body of water, over time filled with migrating people such as sailors, religious leaders, and traders. The movement of people infused the area with differing beliefs, ideas, and goods by contributing to the expansion of Eurasia and Africa. As the level of trade, innovations, and division of labor grew so did the level of globalization took place in this area of the world. The ways in which this land mass became so integrated with the level of interconnectivity, was the rate in which services and goods traveled. All these different aspects especially economically, help expand Africa and Eurasia to become a world power. The fundamental part of becoming a world power comes

The Travel and Tourism industry is still one of the largest single businesses in world commerce and its importance is widely recognized. The tourism industry is now one of the largest sectors earning foreign exchange. In the face of many benefits, many countries have started assigning due weight age to the tourism industry in their national development agenda. Tourism is an industry that operates on a massively broad scale: it embraces activities ranging from the smallest sea-side hotel; to air-lines, multi-national hotel chains and major international tour operators. Originally, non-traditional industries such as tourism emerged as a solution to strike a balance between ecology and industry

Sri Lanka is an island nation located off the southern coast of India.The country is bordered by the Indian Ocean and the Palk Strait that separates Sri Lanka from India. It became an independent state in 1948, after gaining its independence from The United Kingdom. The population in Sri Lanka in 2012 was 21,481,334.

Planning and development are both extremely important factors within the tourism industry and can have both positive and negative effects on the environment, local communities and tourist destinations. “Destination planning aims to limit the negative impacts of cultural tourism upon the history and lifestyles of the local community. An understanding of sustainable tourist development allows for the development of culture without loss of its authentic identity” (Maidment. T. 2012). This statement discusses the importance of planning to avoid having any negative impacts on environments and communities. Because the effects of tourism are so severe to destinations, many natural and cultural resources have been destroyed, therefore tourism planning is vital to preserve and maintain these places for future generations.
