Fire temples will not be affected by Metro work, VJTI tells high court



Mumbai:

A report by an independent team of structural engineering experts appointed by the Bombay high court has concluded that the proposed tunnelling work for Mumbai Metro 3 will not adversely affect the structural stability of the two Atash Behrams in south Mumbai or well water.


The VJTI, in a 19-page report, concluded that the “proposed tunnelling work (using TBMs) for Metro 3, under Wadiaji and Anjuman Atash Behram buildings shall not have adverse effect on the structures’’ and that it will also not adversely impact the “level and quality of water in wells within the premises of both Atash Behrams”. It said neither construction of the Kalbadevi metro station adjacent to Wadiaji Atash Behram nor Metro operations under them will have an adverse impact on the structures.

But the report recommends measures “to have additional safety”. It says that “excavation for cut and cover at Kalbadevi station near the corner of Wadiaji Atash Behram shall be carried out only by drilling line holes up to bottom for the plan area of 3 by 3 metre”. Further excavation shall be by either “mechanical means’’ or “control blasting’’. The “perforation” will further

reduce vibrations on the Atash Behrams.

The report by KK Sangle, Abhay Bambole and head of structural engineering department, VB Deshmukh, of VJTI was submitted to the HC bench of Justices Abhay Oka and Riyaz Chagla on August 9 in a petition by structural engineer Jamshed Sukhadwalla and several other members of the Parsi community. The petitioners had first raised objections in May to the proposed tunnelling and alignment of the underground Metro 3 route as it goes below the consecrated highest grade fire at these two, more than century-old heritage Atash Behrams near Princess Street in south Mumbai. The petitioners also said that the proposed Kalbadevi station was a mere 5m away from Wadiaji Atash Behram and they apprehended damage from ‘control blasting’ to make the station.

The HC, while continuing a stay on tunnelling work beyond walls of the Atash Behrams last month, appointed VJTI to survey the site and submit a report as the MMRCL produced no independent report to back its contention that the tunnelling would cause no harm to the structures.

The high court is scheduled to hear the matter on August 13.

Shanghai woolen embroidery showcased in Tokyo







A new exhibition opened at the art gallery of Japan-China Friendship Center in Japan on July 18, as one of a series of cultural activities marking the 40th anniversary of the signing of China-Japan Treaty of Peace and Friendship as well as the 40th anniversary of China's reform and opening-up.

The 4th Shanghai Craft Show in Japan - Exhibition of Woolen Embroidery features more than 50 woolen embroidery works created by Shanghai artists in recent years, including replicas of murals in Mogao Caves, embroideries of Vincent van Gogh's Starry Night, and Johannes Vermeer's The Milkmaid.

Sixteen Japanese people attended a workshop to learn techniques of the exquisite Chinese needle work on July 19, the second day of the exhibition's opening.

The exhibition will end on July 24. It will then tour in Osaka and Nagasaki.

Shanghai's woolen embroidery, fusing traditional Chinese craftsmanship with Western art, was listed as a state-level intangible cultural heritage in China in 2011.

Hotels now providing more than just accommodation in growing market

Hotel and home-sharing companies don't just want to sell you a room anymore. They also want to sell you an experience.

Online operators like TripAdvisor and Expedia have been booking activities for more than a decade. But companies such as Marriott and Airbnb are after a bigger piece of that business, so they have added thousands of offerings that travelers can book directly via their websites.

Airbnb debuted experiences in late 2016 and now offers more than 20,000 activities in 800 cities globally through the "Experiences" tab on its website. There's a wide range available, from a $12 yoga class on a Nashville porch to a $175 encounter with wolves near Seattle. Local hosts apply to Airbnb with tour ideas and Airbnb puts them on its site if they're accepted.

The Marriott Moments program, which was launched in October, offers 120,000 experiences in 1,000 destinations, from a $27 walking tour of Detroit to a $588 full-day tour of Tuscany. Marriott's partner, online tour search company Place-Pass, finds and vets the experiences.

Marriott still offers around 10,000 exclusive activities for its loyalty program members. Those offers, such as a pastry class at Le Cordon Bleu cooking school in Paris, can only be booked with Marriott or Starwood points.

On both sites, experiences cost the same as they would if travelers booked directly with tour providers. West Wine Tours, which gives tours of Sonoma and Napa Valley in California, in a restored Volkswagen camper van, charges $125 on its site as well as through Airbnb.

Marriott is offering a perk for members of its loyalty program, enabling them to earn points for booking experiences. Airbnb is working on its own loyalty program, but details have yet to be announced.

Sarah Ellis booked a bike tour in Rome, a walking tour in Copenhagen and a Harry Potter walking tour in Edinburgh, Scotland, through Airbnb. She also booked a Sherlock tour through TripAdvisor in London, but felt it was too big and commercial.

"The less commercialized and monopolized and standardized, the better for an authentic experience," said Ellis, a librarian from California.

Others say they would avoid booking through a big company. Matthew Kagan, a partner at a California-based communications firm, said he wouldn't necessarily book anything through Airbnb or Marriott even though he's a member of Marriott's loyalty program.

"I find sites like Yelp and other crowdsourced options very helpful because I believe I'm getting real locals' knowledge," he said.

But Elizabeth Barber, an associate professor at Temple University's School of Tourism and Hospitality Management, thinks Marriott's experiences appeal to travelers who want a trusted name vetting their activities.

"If I only have three days and I don't want to waste my time, these have Marriott's stamp of approval," she said.

Danielle Oteri runs a company called Feast on History that runs tours in Italy and New York City and has been offering tours of Italian food shops in the Bronx since 2007. Both Marriott and Airbnb reached out to her directly about her $79 tour, which is offered on both of their websites. But most tours are still booked through her own site.

Oteri thinks the growing demand for experiences stems from the sameness of global cities, with chains like Starbucks on every corner.

"When you travel, it's so much harder to find places that are unique to the city," Oteri said. "It's helpful to have someone introduce you to that stuff."

But there are downsides to the experience boom, Oteri said. Airbnb recently began offering a tour similar to hers for $50. Marriott and TripAdvisor also collect a 25 to 30 percent commission for tours booked through their sites, while Airbnb takes 20 percent.

Still, the exposure on big websites is critical for small providers who can't spend much on marketing. Marielle Chartier Henault, says five to 10 Airbnb customers per week book her one-hour, $36 mermaid swimming class in Toronto.

Joe Zadeh, Airbnb's vice-president of trips, says people can earn an average of $6,000 per year if they host an activity four times per month and $30,000 per year if they host closer to 15 activities per month. Some of its hosts are earning more than $200,000 per year.

"It's a really great economic opportunity where you're doing what you love," Zadeh said.
