Which reagent is best among 'Dimethylglyoxime" and "Dithiothreitol" for spectroscopic determination of Nickel ?

What I think is Dithiothreitol. As it is water-soluble and does not form a precipitate. But, the thing is it contains sulphur which is quite hazardous to aquatic animals.

In my point of view it could be both, we should analyze does the journey have essential part of tourism it self (something to do, something to see and something to buy), based on concept around the world tourism is journey exceed 24 hours and those activities far from your home or living boundaries, lastly got experiences aside from daily. hope it could meet your expectations

Any kind of pilgrimage can be associated with tourism, since it encompasses movement out of the domicile and destination visit with longer than 24 hours stay. This kind of movement excludes lucrative actions which is one more reason to enlist it in the side of tourism. We need to find a coinage similar to the one bringing together business and leisure into bleisure. Pilgrimesure

Many studies show that Hajj is related to tourism and is a tourism event, while others argue that this journey is a comprehensive and spiritual journey that cannot be expressed only in terms of tourism.

Küçük (2013) states that in Islam, as in all belief systems, the Kaaba and holy shrines are indispensable places of tourism.

Şen et al., 2015) underlines that Hajj is a journey for the purpose of worship, and emphasizes that services and organizations such as travel, accommodation, food and beverage, and guidance during this journey should be handled in terms of tourism and evaluated within the scope of faith tourism.

Vukonic (1996) states that when Muslims think of religious tourism, they think of all kinds of travel for religious purposes, especially Hajj, and that Hajj has many points in common with tourism.

Luz (2020) states that Hajj is a commandment of Islam and that it is different from religiously motivated pilgrimages in other religions and can be evaluated in this direction.

Şen (2003) underlines that Hajj is different from other touristic visits and states that this journey is a unique journey.
