First class tourist beach holidays .... my arse. One this gets going in social media there be less bookings.

What a disgrace this whole charade is.

We think things like this and many other things will cause a decrease in tourism, but still they come.

The above articles of no surprise at all unfortunately, really hope social media kicks in and what these clowns in charge are doing goes viral.
