Guest guest Posted May 22, 2001 Report Share Posted May 22, 2001 ACTION TODAY Copied from the EuroBirdnet.... An interesting idea from Italy!!I sat back and tried to think of a way that a group of thousands of people could hit back hard at the Maltese government and it came to mind.... When you pass a tourist / travel agency and you have a minute to spare, pop in and ask for " all your brochures on travel and tourism in Malta " . Advertising is a major overhead in the tourism business... it costs. Once you have a good bagful take them to the recycling. Each time you pass a travel agency go in and ask for some more, week-in, week-out. When they won't give you any more send your wife / husband / kids in. Ask them (the Maltese tourist authority) to send a really lovely big pak of info, to you... your friends... your mum and aunties...wherever they may be... it's what Hotmail, and the others e-mail addresses are for.... and recycle it. office.uk ........United Kingdom, Eire vienna ........Austria info .......Scandinavia, Sweden, Norway, Denmark switzerland ........Switzerland office.us ......North America; United States, Canada office.ru ......Russia, Ukraine, other CIS countries info ......France info .....Italy info ......Netherlands,Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Iceland Luxembourg, Norway, Sweden One-off glossy brochures are very expensive to produce and you'll be depriving other potential visitors to Malta of the possibility to see the material. I'll probably get some flak for this suggestion but if it begins to spread and bite you can be sure of a legislative reaction on the part of the Maltese. Please forward this message to sympathetic groups and individuals and do your part. Malta is small (400,000 people... not Spain or Turkey) and more than 10% of the total population is employed in tourism-related activities. Every trashed brochure is a little victory, a little nudge to the legislators and law-enforcement agency that the political support enjoyed by the hunters doesn't pay the bills. Regards to all, P.T.
