Lethal visits: volcano tourism and the White Island eruption : Comments

By Binoy Kampmark, published 11/12/2019

While the authorities and tour operators count the profits from visitors they can also claim to be bringing humans closer to the earth.

What's needed are helecopters aeroplanes drones and spotters, followed by drum lines and nets, to keep tourists free from harm in the natural environment.

We need to make government accountable to the people, and ensure the safety of every individual, whatever their activity, and in spite of whatever the risk these activities may bring.

We need government supplied ego trippers to be schooled in tourist promotion, and certified competent to lead groups of tourists less ego centric, and more dangerously timid.

In the future, we the people demand, government provided safety equipment and fencing around the rim of every volcano on earth, where tourists are likely to promote the bottom line for agencies geared to profit, and who contribute to government coffers through tax, ( with the exception of the better agencies with head office in the Cayman Islands, and CEO's on the same standing as Malcolm Turnbull, the expert in this field).

We demand a lift be installed from camp two, to the top of Mount Everest to facilitate wheel chairs access, and unisex toilets at agreeable intervals to accomodate tranvestites in an inclusive and meaningful way!

Since the drought, salt water has pushed eighty Klm upstream. Bull sharks would be above that mostly.
Whites predominant now in the ocean. Was shadowed by a white a few days back for ten minutes. It's become a habit. Often waiting at the anchor. Cruised mostly within a meter or so, until it faced off, which was unacceptable.

What is it for government whether I live or die?

Oh please don't try to tell us that you "care" about me - only horses might believe you and it doesn't even make a funny joke!
