"Abolish or reform the Airport Passenger Duty and protect Caribbean economies from a decrease in tourism" PETITION

(March 12, 2012)

Based on the feedback received regarding the issue of 'Airport Passenger Duty', the threat it poses to the tourism industry in the Caribbean and the ability of the Caribbean community in the UK to travel to their countries of origin, we have started an e petition.

The petition asks the Government of the United Kingdom to

"Abolish or reform the Airport Passenger Duty and protect Caribbean economies from a decrease in tourism"

In order to force a hearing in Parliament we will need to achieve 100,000 names, so your dedicated and sustained support is required to achieve this.

Please find the link to the petition below:

I would like to thank you in advance for your support and ask that you circulate this information widely.

Kind regards
