Jim Wilson has slammed multinational tour operators for taking advantage of flood-affected victims.

Jim spoke to a local hotelier last week and he detailed how they were being hounded to pay upfront fees.

“How the hell is the government allowing these corporate bullies, who put nothing back into our country, give them the go-ahead to operate here?” Jim said.

“But if our Government won’t ban them, well let’s boycott them!”

“I bet you any money you’ll get a better deal and every cent is going to the hard-working owner, not some corporate bully sitting in a plush office in New York or London.”

Mr Munro told Jim Wilson that by booking with locals instead of multi-national big companies, “you get such a quality experience”.

“They’ve got all the search parameters stitched up and they pay big money for that.
