The financial crisis in 2008, effected companies around the globe and forced them to change their operational strategies, in order to survive.

The meeting industry is a growing industry around the world, and the technological development in recent decades is one of the contributing factors to the increased travel opportunities and meeting industry's expansion. It can be assumed that the technology could replace some of the personal meetings, but humans have always had a need to meet in physical locations in work related purposes, therefore there is no evidence that personal meetings will disappear. Technological development should be seen as complementary rather than a substitute to the existing professional meetings. Public and private sectors within countries has drawn attention to meeting industry's potential, as favored Destinations in terms of economic administration, image creation, expansion and acquisition of further market share in the global market. Meeting industry is complex precisely because there are so many different actors and stakeholders that integrate.

Hur destinationer arbetar med utveckling och marknadsföring för att attrahera turister är två välutforskade områden. Att se på destinationers utveckling och marknadsföring ur ett resebolags perspektiv är idag outforskat. Eftersom det är resebolagen som tillhandahåller resor till turisten anser vi att detta perspektiv är av största intresse att behandla. Vad krävs då för att en destination ska vara intressant ur resebolagens perspektiv? Hur betydande är egentligen platsens arbete med Destinationsutveckling och Destinationsmarknadsföring för resebolagens val? Vi ställer oss också frågan vad det är som påverkar en Destinations popularitet och hur det kommer sig att resebolagen väljer vissa destinationer framför andra? Syftet med denna kandidatuppsats är att undersöka vilka aspekter som påverkar resebolags lokaliseringsbeslut.

 The theme of this essay arises from problematic pictures which travel journalism can bring about foreign countries, and in this specific case Mexico. These pictures can be problematic in the way that they can carry colonial elements and form colonial discourses. The main purpose of this study is therefore to investigate the Swedish travel magazines, Vagabond, RES and Allt om resor, and how they portray places and people in the written texts and photographs. This was done with a postcolonial and discourse theoretical framework, whereas empowerment of certain pictures can lead to formation of discourses, myths and stereotypes about places and people in Mexico. The method used to reveal different aspects of the travel reports was semiotic analysis, Norman Fairclough?s critical discourse analysis and critical linguistics.

Utveckling av ett köpcentrum är ett komplext system som involverar många aktörer såsom kommunen, fastighetsägaren, investerare, långivare, konsulter, analytiker, arkitekter, detaljister och givetvis även slutkonsumenten så att visionen om att vara den ledande bland köpcentrum hierarkin realiseras.Det tillkommer nya handelsytor i relation till befolkningsunderlaget i Stockholms län där konkurrensen, kundernas krav och e-handeln ständigt ökar. Detta kommer i sin tur sätta press på ledningen för att fastställa nya tydliga strategier för framtida visioner. Vid utvecklingen av ett köpcentrum har extern rådgivning tagits och därmed ett investeringsförslag har föreslagits. Vilka faktorer som har tagits med i beslutsunderlaget är det väsentligaste.Utgångpunkten med denna studie var att belysa hur ett köpcentrum behåller sin kommersiella kvalitet och därmed möta den framtida konkurrensen bättre. En Jämförelseanalys av två valda objekt i Stockholms län har fullgjorts för att belysa närmare framgångsrika nyckelfaktorer såsom läge, tillgänglighet och koncept.

Bakgrund: Torö Stenstrand tillhör naturreservatet Ören som är beläget på en udde på ön Torö i den sydligaste delen av Stockholms län. I slutet av 1970-talet kom vågsurfingsporten till Sverige och Torö Stenstrand. Det var några lokala entusiaster som upptäckte platsen och såg att vågorna lämpade sig för surfing. Sedan dess har officiella surf-SM genomförts av Swedish Surfing Association i stort sett varje höst sedan början av 90-talet. Det finns dock en konflikt kring frågan om stranden bör vara helt tillgänglig för allmänheten eller om de privata tomterna, som finns längsmed vissa delar av Stenstranden, ska ha äganderätt av marken ner till vattnet.

The authors have during the spring semester 2011 studied the subject destination development during a political crisis, focusing on Tunisia. At the beginning of 2011 the country was in an uncertain political situation when the revolution of the Tunisian people occurred. This created massive demonstrations on the streets, and resulted in the current government's resignation. More effects of the revolution has been seen in a drastic decline of inbound tourists in the country, which in turn affected the country's population and economy. From this point on Tunisia as a destination needs to recover to once again become attractive to tourists.
