Brandon,
	In a URL, everything after the "?" symbol represents the query
string.  The query string is a list of name/value pairs that allows you to
pass "variables" between web pages.  On the page
"tour_list_region.jsp?Region=Australia", you will be able to check the value
of the "Region" querystring variable by using

request.getParameter("Region")

<a href="tour_list_region.jsp?Region=Australia">Australia</a>

Can anyone explain what does ?Region=Australia does? What is the use of it?
