tourism generating countries to Belgium, the balance of payments, and the like. Detailed tables, (This report is published in French.) (TSM,TSP) Traffic Problems In Holiday Resorts. By Urs. Schaer. The Tourist Review (Case Postale 2728, 3001 Berne, Switzerland), April/June 1978, pp. 9-15. Traffic problems in holiday resorts are characterized particularly by the circumstance that many classes of traffic meet and mutually obstruct each other in extremely narrow spaces. As the result of high peak loads during relatively short periods, many holiday resorts are literally smothered by traffic. This article discusses the volume of traffic generated due to holiday resorts. The discussion is sub-divided into issues relating to topical traffic problems in holiday resorts and attempts to solve such traffic problems. (TSM) Training in Tourism-An Approach.
