The World Heritage program is a wonderful thing to acknowledge greatness in nature and human culture and to preserve such for posterity.
But there seems to be an unhealthy obssession here (and other places) from exploiting the status to it's full marketable potential by the entrepeneurs to the overly fanatical desire to visit such places.

I had to do a double take. I thought "stick" was a reference to something other than "walking stick".
