Meanwhile the ecological and cultural environment of the archipelago is quickly disappearing, the local (and national) government plans to transform Peng-Hu into a casino resort, and promotes mass-tourism.
What do you think about this project ?
Would you visit Peng-Hu in order to play casino games, or would you visit Peng-Hu for other reasons ?
It is worth noting that this idea was promoted by Frank Hsieh when he was Premier in 2005. He later backed down and had a “no casino” policy when he contested the 2008 election. See this interesting article from 2005 expressing opposition to casinos: Beware of the ‘Republic of Casino’.
I joined the rally in Taipei on 15 March to oppose the casino. I like the creative manipulation of the ROC flag.
Ehem… within their borders, then. Anyway, Daddy said no and it means no. There goes the golden eggs goose, the low lying ripe fruit. Unless the Pescadores officials can convince other mass nationality tourists to visit the islands through a well developed, atractive plan, that assures maximum use of the rich human and ecological resources in the islands…
