Has British Tourism PR Gone on Holiday?

10 days later.....
and still no reply to a letter sent to the following tourism associations questioning their support for a commission based site posing as 'ethical tourism' and asking them to embrace the 'Book Direct to Support Local Tourism' message.

The campaign for Cutting the Tourism VAT is gathering steam as most people, associations and politicians now believe it will raise the GDP and create jobs. Booking Direct needs just as much attention because it's not a belief it's a fact. Booking Direct Supports Local Tourism and keeps the commissions in our Great Britain.

If you would like your tourism association or local politician to embrace this simple concept send them a little note explaining how Booking.com has it's headquarters in the Netherlands and doesn't pay tax on the millions of pounds worth of tourism related commissions received from accommodation/activity providers in Great Britain. Legal yes, but far from necessary. Let's help people protect the places they love by learning to Book Direct.
