If you're a tourist, you've definitely heard of Trip Advisor before. I believe this source is useful when coming up with any changes to Chicago because these reviews are from real people who have just traveled to Chicago and typically give their likes and dislikes of certain aspects of tourism. This will be helpful for me when coming up with some new suggestions to attract more people to Chicago, Il. Trip Advisor can't always be reliable as everyone has different opinions and expectations, but it certainly is a helpful tool to use while traveling.

This journal is a brief critique of different weaknesses that sustainable tourism has. Emplasizing on six main problems, such as the role of tourism demand, the nature of tourism resources, the imperative of intra-generational equity, the role of tourism in promoting socio cultural progress, the measurement of sustainability, and forms of sustainable development. These are all valid points in which I'll have to consider when looking into a future plan for Chicago.
