The Pacific Asia Travel Association used to advertise a membership code of conduct, yet when someone actually complained about a PATA member having committed several illegal acts, PATA removed it.
After the second Bali bombing PATA sent out a press release condemning the bombing and the effect it had on Bali's tourism business; not a word of sympathy for the tourists that actually were killed in the bombing.
Until someone brought it to their attention, PATA's membership information page was IMHO one of the tackiest LARGE FONT, SELL-SELL-SELL, SIGN NOW marketing pages I have seen since the mid-1970's. If PATA's marketing data to their members is as gross as their own marketing page (now removed of course), can you imagine the guidance they give to their members? It seems clear customers / guests / travelers pay more and get less by dealing with PATA members.
