High Quality Service

Tourism is a major economic pillar for many countries; it enables them to increase gross domestic product, improves the population lifestyle, and preserves natural, cultural, and religious tourism assets. Tourism appears as a magic tool that could change the future of a developing country. However, tourism requires qualified human resources who can deliver high-quality service. Tour guides assume a great responsibility as they communicate with tourists during their sojourn. Their mission is even more critical if they have to accompany tourists to sacred tourist destinations where tourists are engaged in religious activities. The best practices of guides embedded with tourist behaviors are expected to enhance a peaceful world and provide a good touristic experience.

The French Language Services Act, 1986 has had an impact on the provision of health care services in Ontario. The Ontario Ministry of Health's implementation of French-language services is examined in light of three criteria: permanency, quality and accessibility of services. Issues are raised around the measurement and creation of demand for services; the health human resources shortage; health care priorities; what constitutes a high quality service; and the influence of the political and economic climates. The continuing challenge is to provide permanent and accessible high quality French-language health care services within an ailing health care system.

High Quality Service

Community-wide planning of hospitals and related facilities in a metropolitan area helps to translate the miracles of modern medical science into high quality service for all at reasonable cost. Community-wide planning for children's inpatient services should encourage grouping of small segregated pediatric units in which most children receive care today. These small units interfere with provision of high quality, comprehensive care and are wasteful of scarce personnel and dollars. Experts should agree upon the minimum size unit in which effective care can be provided; this minimum would obviously be much larger than most units in existence today. To achieve this minimum, most general hospitals should affiliate with major general hospitals or children's medical centers at which their pediatric inpatient facilities could be grouped into a few large units. The children's medical centers should take leadership in exploring the feasibility and nature of such affiliations of which the key element is the medical staff relationship. Such affiliations are consistent with and conducive to valid objectives of children's medical centers: leadership in promotion of child health, child care, education and research. Failure of children's medical centers to develop such affiliations may have dire consequences in the long run.

Important Branch

Agriculture represent one of the most important branches of the Romanian economy. Within performing the suggested analysis we started from the premise that the economy of each country, regardless of developing degree, agriculture, by natural and human resources available, by contributing to the creation of gross domestic product, of gross value added, but also by participating at internal and external trade, obviously holds an important position. Romanian rural economy is currently dominated in a large part by agriculture. Favorable geographical conditions, topography, climate, fertile soils, in addition with workforce, a suitable administrative system, but the connection of rural population to land and animals can make the Romanian agriculture as production branch attractive and profitable to determine economic growth at national level. Thus, we considered necessary to perform an analysis concerning the importance of Romanian agriculture, analysis that represents the basis for finding the most viable solutions to determine this particularly important branch - to relaunch in the development of Romanian rural economy.
