Activists protested outside TUI UK travel agency in Barry Island and had great conversations with holiday-makers about why they should boycott Turkey. 

At Barry Island they had a day of outreach, leafleting and making these very tidy banners.

The campaign

Tourism is an important source of income for the Turkish state. In recent years, the sector has suffered a lot, mainly due to the crisis with Russia. However, the following agreement between both countries has now enabled the occupation of Afrin and in the tourism sector, this rapprochement will have its consequences.

Under the silence of Western governments, hundreds of civilians have been murdered in Afrin and their civilian infrastructure has been systematically destroyed. The houses and workplaces as well as the institutions of Afrin have been looted. Hundreds of thousands of people had to flee. These attacks are considered ethnic cleansing.
