FCO advice: The Debate
Tourism Concern is to host a debate on whether ‘Foreign and Commonwealth Office travel advice is inconsistent and often does more harm than good’.
The annual tourism debate, in conjunction with The Tourism Society, will debate what travel advice does to the tourism industry, both in the UK and in destination countries, as well as considering what happens to the local people at the receiving end of tourism.
Among the speakers is the head of the UK Consular Directorate FCO, ‘against the motion’, and The Indonesian Ambassador to the UK, Professor Dr Juwono Sudarsono, ‘for’ the motion. Alison Rice will be the chair.
The debate will take place on 18th October at the London Wetlands Centre, Barnes.
To attend the debate contact Margery Hancock or Michael Lomotey. Tel. 020 7753 3330. E-mail: [email protected]
