Comments on: Hong Kong: “zero-charge” tours http://globalvoicesonline.org/2006/10/25/hong-kong-zero-charge-tours/ The world is talking. Are you listening?

No one forced them to enter the travel industry in the first place so they shouldn't place blames on others and whine about it when they later find out that they don't make enough money. To me, it's like buying a lottery and then blame the association for not rolling out the numbers I bought. Ridiculous. This kind of bad apples trashes our image of a prestigious internation financial centre. Must regulate.
