In reply to the discussion: Nine tourists killed at mountain base camp in Kashmir [View all]vinny9698
(1,016 posts)21. The establishment in Kashmir will make sure they are caught and probably killed
Tourism is a cash cow to these underdeveloped areas and the government, corporations are going to make sure it doesn't happen again. When the tourist trade is harmed, a lot of people lose big money, lose jobs, lose a way of making a living. There are to many self-interests involved in settling this crime.
In Thailand they have Tourist Police, which carry vests with those words on the back. You complain to one of them about an establishment they will shut it down. They are very prevalent in tourist areas and Aussies abuse the system to get free beer from bars. Aussies complain about being overcharged and the bar just returns them their money, to afraid being shut down for a few beers.
