The TOUR OPERATORS are BACK!

In August the big European tour operators:
TUI, NECKERMAN, THOMPSON , etc. are back on Ibiza in force.

They have reseverved large blocks of Ibiza´s hotel rooms which they re-sell
as 'packages' which includes the flight and hotel.

One day at the airport, I was struck by the different tour guides who were
waiting to escort their arriving clients to the buses....it was clear from the appearance of the
TOUR GUIDES that there was an organized marketing attempt to appeal to special interest
groups....hence this cartoon.

I couldn´t help laughing as I did it...however.... ALL local periodicals
refused to publish it........Bob
