Promotion Of Tourism In South Africa By Network S.e. Magazine (No.3)

EDM number 417 in 1989-90, proposed by Michael Colvin on 31/01/1990.

That this House draws the appropriate conclusions from the fact that the vast majority of tourists to South Africa are now blacks; welcomes the promotion of tourism by Network South East Magazine; considers that an increase in tourism, particularly by those who relish the continued condemnation of South Africa on the basis of largely obsolete disinformation sedulously propagated by the anti-apartheid movement, would enlarge the number of those who are able to comment from knowledge and personal experience; notes that if the British tourist industry, British Airways and British Rail hope to enlarge the valuable support they receive from South African tourists of all races they should not ally their organisations with those for whom the long historical association of Britain and South Africa in peace and war counts for nothing; and concludes that the 1986 Commonwealth Summit Agreement is now in need of drastic revision.

This motion has been signed by a total of 2 MPs.
