What a pity FT do not have a comments section. I, for one, do not see much "divided opinion", seems everyone is totally against.
Only few in favour seem to be those with a vested interest - ie some of the travel agents.
Nice to see the comments by Andrew Lee of Exclusive Escapes who is not in favour.
Not so nice to see the comments by Jane Ashton head of sustainable development (Who dreams these Mickey Mouse titles up anyway) at TUI Travel Plc who seems to put profit before ethics.
What if they start dog, bear and cock fighting, Jane, will Tui still sell tickets to their clients?
Maybe a campaign to Tui telling them that dolphin are not sustainable in captivity may help.
If I was in the tourist industry in this area, I would be appalled and frightened by the comments made by Salih Taşci, head of the Fethiye branch of the Turkish Association of Travel agencies, TURSAB. He obviously has no idea of how the British (or most of them) think.
