| We have
been online for 5 years! On October 1, 2000, travelthepast made its debut on the world wide web. We have had our ups and downs over that time and now we think its time for some changes. Over the next few months we will be making changes in the site. We will be adding some new features and moving around others. Please bare with us as we work to make this site more "travel" friendly. Some of you may remember this image of our "Time Machine!" |

| According to the Travel Industry of America (TIA) 80 percent of adult travelers (over 118 million people) have included an historic or cultural activity while traveling. That is roughly the population of United Kingdom and Italy combined! | |
| Heritage Area Legislation | |
|
According to Preservation Action, a national lobby for historic
preservation issues, "the Senate, prior to leaving for August
recess, passed the National Heritage Areas Partnership Act
(S.243), with an amendment, by unanimous consent. The bill
proposes a formalized program and criteria, much like the
designation of resources to the National Register of Historic
Places, for National Heritage Areas (NHA). As defined by the
National Park Service, "a National Heritage Area is a place
designated by the United States Congress where natural,
cultural, historic and recreational resources combine to form a
cohesive, nationally distinctive landscape arising from patterns
of human activity shaped by geography." S.243 was introduced by
the chair of the Senate Resources Subcommittee on National
Parks, Senator Craig Thomas (R-WY), earlier this year. The
legislation is similar to a measure that passed the Senate in
the 108th Congress. The amendment was offered by Senator Susan
Collins (R-ME) for Senator Pete Domenici (R-NM) in the nature of
a substitution. There are currently 27 designated NHAs, all of which represent partnerships between federal, state, and local governments and the private sector. Designation does not carry regulatory restrictions. John Cosgrove, Executive Director of the Alliance of National Heritage Areas notes that the economic benefit of designation is just starting to be understood, but is tremendously positive. The latter group is a nonprofit membership organization comprised of NHAs and partners that support and practice sustainable heritage development."
