Special Notice: 31 Days for PEACE THROUGH TOURISM in 2004

31 Days for PEACE THROUGH TOURISM in 2004

green-travel members,

Yesterday, while crossing the Amazon delta by riverboat
from Belem-Para to Macapa-Amapa around Marajo Island, I
decided to do something I´ve never done before.

I am calling for 31 days of discussion in the
green-travel group on the feasibility of a global boycott
on travel and tourism to communities hosting significant
commercial arms production, including handguns,
landmines, and significant components of weapons of mass
destruction.

This is not yet a call for boycott; this is an invitation
to all interested parties to participate in 31 days of
discussion, from 01 December to 31 December 2003, in the
green-travel group at http://www.green-travel.com .

I ask all 617 green-travel members to help spread this
message to travel and tourism, peace and other relevant
channels of any kind including media effective
immediately. Please translate this request into other
languages and re-post to the green-travel group and
elsewhere. (This request expires 01 January 2004.)

Peace on Earth,

Marcus L. Endicott, Founder & Contact

Just which communities produce arms that you would actually want to go
to?

UK, US...?

Actually, Brazil, the country he's in, is a major small arms
producer...Taurus and Rossi.

Hi,

well that will limit you pretty much.

finland has more legal machine-guns per capita than even switzerland.
Belgium is out, as is Germany and France, even Italy is home for
berreta. Luxembourg is noted for it's lack of gun laws, the UK supported
the US in our police action in Iraq, most of africa is at war with
itself, south america is full of narco and terrorist/insurgent
activity... asia is out with wars from the Mediterranean to the pacific...

so head to antarctica or maybe australia... but australia is towing
boatloads of illegal aliens back out to sea so you probably don't like
them either.

so that's it... move to antarctica...

They are hardly 'communities', they are entire countries!

Arms are usually (always?) produced in the industrial outskirts of
very untouristy towns, where tourists are unlikely to spend time
anyway!
