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.

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,
