It’s the time of the month again for a new vote. Last month’s poll was: should tourists be charged a higher price to enter local attractions?
The result was a resounding 50/50, with half of you saying it is fair to boost local tourism economy and the other half saying no, because all humans should be treated equally.
The justification, I have discovered from guided books, is that tourists from more affluent countries have a moral responsibility to contribute to poorer nations’ economy through paying higher prices. Sounds political to me!*shrugs*
But this month, seeing as most shops have started gearing up for Christmas (2011 diaries from Paperchase, turkey order forms from M&S) the next poll is:
Is October too early to think about Christmas?
Yes – we need to stop the massive consumerism surrounding this pagan festival!
No – I’ve booked my holidays and bought a dress for the office party
VOTE now on the right to have your say!
