Technical KO in Fourth!
p. 57 · Read in the full issue
OCTOBER PIM (p. 132) gave de tails of the third round in a small war that has developed in Papeete between the Government Tourist Bureau (or Syndicat d’ln itiative) and a private agency,
World Travel Headquarters, whose head office is in Sydney.
Cause of friction was a sign erected by the private agency which seemed likely to cause confusion. It was first pulled down, then re erected when a Court order de clared it within the law. Then the Syndicat dTnitiative issued litera ture which, to tourists arriving from overseas and unaware of the circum stances, could have been construed as a warning to avoid the private agency—specifically named in the literature.
Whether this literature caused a technical KO, or whether the fight has been called off by mutual con sent is not known—but the offend ing sign came down again in No vember, apparently to stay.
