Abstract
This paper reviews the history and development of a unified Europe. The paper looks at a number of changes that happened in Europe between 1945-1991. Particular interest is given to the European Community and how it eventually led to the European Union due to higher and higher levels of co-operation.
From the Paper
"The continent known as Europe has a long and complicated history. Much of that history has involved conflicts of various types between various countries. Because European countries tended to fight with each other there was no concept of a unified Europe before 1945. The concept of a unified Europe did not appear suddenly. Instead the concept of a unified Europe was the result of a number of economic, social and political trends that slowly developed from 1945 to 1991 and are still developing today. However, not all of these trends developed at the same rate."

From the Paper
"The most common occurrence of a risk exposure at an event is that of an attendee tripping, slipping or falling over. (Johnson, D., 1997, p205) Therefore it was surprising to discover that the ground surrounding the general attendee parking area at this event was uneven and unsurfaced. . In order to then gain access to the main areas of the showground it was also necessary to climb rocky embankments especially dangerous in wet weather. It would appear that this event failed to identify the potential risks these rocky areas represented to both attendees and their vehicles. (Newell, M., & Grashina, M., 2004, p177)"

Abstract
This paper explains that, in 1972, the government of Indonesia created the master plan for the development of tourism to make Bali the "showcase" of Indonesia and to serve as the model of future tourism development for the rest of the country. The author points out that the tourism industry including transportation, hotel, hospitality and traveling services is the biggest industry in Bali, which provides quality employment opportunities for the Balinese, and is still one of the fastest growing sectors in the island. The paper relates that the environmental problems created by the industry are due to the failure to control the growth of tourism facilities such as golf courses and hotels because economic expansion tends to overtake planning.
From the Paper
"According to Hitchcock (2001), tourist brochures make much of this religious affiliation of the Balinese, often describing it as the "land of a thousand temples". Bali is internationally known for its dances, temples, and beaches, which have long time been recognized as main tourist attractions. In 1996, Bali attracted a total number of 3 million tourists, or about 30% of the total number of foreign tourists coming to Indonesia. The trend shows an escalating number over several years. The increase is supported by the infrastructures and facilities: more than 25,000 hotel rooms of various qualities, international airport, which can accommodate large airplanes, ports, and more than 500 thousands Balinese involved in tourism activities."

Abstract
This paper attempts to throw some light on the issue of skills shortage and labour shrinkage, which is identified as a global issue. The study is limited to the U.K. hospitality industry due to the wide scope of the subject discussed. The actions taken by the government, commercial organisations, educational institutes and trade associations to tackle this problem are critically analysed and recommendations are made for corrective action to improve the approach towards solving this issue.
From the Paper
"The negative image of the hospitality industry in turn leads to failure in attracting more young and skilled students and labour towards it. Also, many service employees have a negative perception of their jobs, who feel their job is humiliating, insulting and demeaning as they cater to the needs and sometimes eccentric wants of customers (Ghiselli, La Lopa, & Bai, 2001). Although hospitality acts as the largest provider of the non-standard employment (ILO 2001), according to Brien (2004) a job in this sector is often considered as 'a job till they get a real job'."
