Many people enjoy theme parks as a family event or just to get away from work. How does one find out about a theme park though? Many find out about theme parks through advertisements through the internet, television, or even through ads or promotions. When Schlitterbahn opened it had big promotions and swarmed the media. It seemed like an amazing theme park and I was excited to travel and spend some off time in a new park. Although, Schlitterbahn advertisements and Schlitterbahn the park is the same thing, the major rides, the minor rides, and background theme in Schlitterbahn advertisement look more appealing. When I arrived at the park I think the advertisements were a little overdrawn since majority of the rides and theme park were still under construction or were in the process of being tested and finalized.

What’s it like living at the Park? That is Sydney Olympic Park. You may not realize that this is more than a park. It’s a way of life for residents living at the Park.

These eateries provide cuisines from across the globe as well as local and Australian cuisine. Services and shopping are at their fingertips, making this one of the most convenient communities in which to live.

Snowdonia National Park The history of Snowdonia national park falls into three periods. Between 1951 and 1974 it was very much a period of finding its feet and seeing how the work of the organization developed over these years, when it was important to gain the goodwill of the local community and local organizations. Some objected to the word "national" and others to the inclusion of non elected members. In the austere post war era economic development was a priority, and the decisions made in this period reflect those times. Young people back from the armed services became disillusioned and moved away.
Our low price with quality service and facilities is our most competitive advantage. We can give resort quality, service with superior assets, resources and we can keep technical assistants with training to assist our visitors during their time in our picnic island. Our technological interventions and proper security can be our unique selling point as most of the places in resorts are not covered with cctv and e booking systems are in very few resorts. Moreover, the concept of Picnic Island itself is new and very attractive. Talking about international market its very unlikely to have and to develop such a visiting attraction. Throughout the world there are place with beaches like ours however we are very lucky to have our weather conditions. It is more or less nothing les s than a blessing. International customers can have a world-class experience almost all time of the year?

AJ Hackett looks after their employees by providing them with food; this is done 3 to 4 times in the winter to keep their employees happy and to motivate them to come to work even when it’s cold. After 3 years for working with the company they give their employees $500.00, after 5 years they give you $1000.00 for free. They give their employees gifts on their first day every year that they are still with AJ Hackett. Also they give their employee’s free tickets for the attractions; presents for Christmas and Easter also training is given. AJ Hackett deal with complains efficiently by talking to their client face to face if they have a problem and they offer a refund or another jump. If they have left the site they will email their client and offer the same product or refund. AJ Hackett has appraisals 30, 60 and 90 days into the employees trail, then 6 months later and then every year they will do an appraisal. I think that AJ Hackett would be a great company to work for because they look after their staff really well and they offer some great rewards for working for the company. One of the biggest Health and Safety hazards on site is the staircase because it is designed to look like a bungee cord bouncing back, this is due to customers getting distracted looking around and not focusing on walking down the staircase and they end up tripping or falling
