Editing Plan

[edit]

Hello! I am editing this article as a part of my Technical Editing class at Texas A&M University. I wanted to share what I am looking at working on prior to making any major edits to this article.

  • The organization of this article, mostly pertaining to headings and subheadings. I want to update the article's headings for ease of reading and to help when trying to find certain information.
  • Reorganization of information, I would also like to move some of the content into different sections so that the article reads smoothly. For example, I am thinking of moving the section about tourism products from "definitions" to a new section titled "Economic effects of tourism."
  • I would also like to combine the expansion on different kinds of tourism which are scattered throughout the article. From "Winter Tourism" to "Space Tourism" there is a gap, and while this information is valuable, the different types of tourism that are explained and listed in the article are expansive, and it would be helpful to list them together for a reader.

If you have any hesitations or suggestions for my edits please let me know, I would appreciate any feedback! Annarutledge (talk) 14:48, 29 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

After spending time working on my initial edits, I have decided to also work on rewording some sections for clarity, I will not remove any content, add any content, or remove citations, I am just working to improve the flow. Thank you! Annarutledge (talk) 20:39, 13 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Input: Tourismphobia

[edit]

Would editors here review the article Tourismphobia and participate in discussion that page? I think it should be deleted, renamed, or merged based on WP:NOTNEO and would appreciate a second opinion before going the formal route. Denaar (talk) 15:35, 8 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
