sebayanpendam  +  573599 Sun, 05 Oct 08 11:59 PM Hi, Can you please check the grammar? With increased influx of tourists into Sarawak, we not only see the solitary backpacker or senior citizen holidaying here but also family, younger touring groups, and even students on school trips. Combine increased travel and itinerary awareness via the internet and tourists would expect more than the sleek cultural show before retiring their five star hotel.

If combine increased travel and itinerary awareness via the internet, tourists would expect more than a sleek cultural show before retiring to their five-star hotels. The meaning of the underlined part is not clear at all. You need to say in another way.

	sebayanpendam  +  573753 Mon, 06 Oct 08 01:58 PM Hi again, Why we don't put down 'the increased influx of..'? I thought it was more like THE+OF structure. Can we write Having combined increased travel and itinerary awareness via the internet, tourists would expect more..? Thanks. sebayanpendam Paragraphs

	Clive  +  573765 Mon, 06 Oct 08 02:59 PM Hi, Why we don't put down 'the increased influx of..'? I thought it was more like THE+OF structure. You could certainly say 'the' to make the reference more specific.  Can we write Having combined increased travel and itinerary awareness via the internet, tourists would expect more..? Yes, you can. But  why not use a more dynamic, active and simpler form of grammar? eg Now that they are travelling more, and are more aware of their itinerary due to the Internet, tourists expect more than a sleek cultural show before retiring to their five star hotels.
