Tourism Concern, the Guardian Newspaper and the University of North London
are holding three public debates on the ethics of travel and tourism. Each
proposition will be debated by high profile speakers putting forward either
side of the argument from destination areas in the UK and overseas, the
British tourism industry and campaigning organisations.
Debate 1: 'TO GO OR NOT TO GO: Freedom of Movement is a human right. Yet
morally we should not travel to places where human rights are violated'.
Tuesday June 8, 7pm, Royal Institution, Albemarle St., London W1 (nearest
tube Green Park)
Debate 2: 'TOURISM APARTHEID: All-inclusive holidays provide tourists with
everything they need but deny local communities the opportunities to benefit
from tourism.'
Tuesday June 15, 7pm, Royal Institution, Albemarle St., London W1 (nearest
tube Green Park)
Debate 3: 'ECOTOURISM: Ecotourism is a threat not a blessing to the lakes
the Peaks and the Pennines.'
Monday 28 June, 7pm, Bridgewater Hall, Manchester
