So we have a politician trying to set up 'safe zones' for illegals selling counterfeit items. One would think that brands such as Barcelona FC, Real Madrid, Cartier, Louis Vuitton, Adidas, Nike and the host of other companies who see their items manufactured and sold illegally would have legal grounds to go after Jhardi and anyone else in the government who is backing this idea. After all, they are in essence condoning what is happening under the disguise of 'helping poor disadvantaged people'.
I'm afraid it's obvious to most people the way the councillors and politicians are going about controling the tourists is undoubtedly going to cause issues for businesses. As others have commented they only seem to want hotels , all inclusive mainly for upgraded ones. Keeps the pavements clear for locals but won't help most businesses.
