Hi Antonia! What would the sentence be?

Hi Benita.

The sentence is: In my opinion special features of resources of certain tourist areas cast doubt on the widespread thesis on unique measures and standards of tourist construction.

Thank you for your help

Antonia, this is a pretty cumbersome sentence and I'm really not sure what it means - but I'm pretty sure we don't talk about "tourist construction" -- that sounds as if you are manufacturing tourists. But maybe it is an accepted phrase in the specialized world of construction engineers.

I liked it better when you were working on the cookbook!

Thanks khoff. I liked it more, too. But you know, I have to do this now and I'm not an expert in tourism.

This may be very wrong, as I too find it quite difficult to grasp; but perhaps:

"...cast doubt on the widely held belief that the tourism sector of the construction industry has special standards and requirements."

Tourist site construction.

Thank you all. Can I ask you one more thing connected to the expression tourist site construction? I need a word which covers the idea of building tourist facilities, in general, not a building site. Does the expression tourist site construction cover this meaning?

Thanks

Yes, but I fail to see how there could be the building of tourist facilities without the existence of a building site. Restrooms, at the very least, are de rigueur.

Sorry, I didn't mean to say not building site, but not only building site.Thanks Mr M!

Hi Antonia,

The sentence doesn't mention the word 'site'. So is it 'tourist construction'? Maybe this phrase signifies promoting tourism, which is why you have 'unique measures'.
