WORLD TRAVEL MARKET

Motion Text

That this House notes that Burma and Indonesia are to exhibit at this year's World Travel Market in November; deplores the human rights violations in these countries; notes the links between tourism and human rights abuses; commends the British Guild of Travel Writers for urging its members not to legitimise and support Indonesia's repressive regime by promoting tourism; also commends those United Kingdom tour operators who have heeded Aung San Suu Kyi's call not to operate in Burma; and calls on the World Travel Market to stop the promotion of tourism in Burma and Indonesia.
