Swindled tourist to 'de-campaign' Zambia in Milan
An Italian tourist who alleges he was swindled out of US$6500 in Zambia says he will 'de-campaign' Zambia at an international tourism exhibition in Italy this week.
On 17 February, the Zambia National Tourist Board will exhibit at the International Tourism Exchange in Milan, Italy at the BIT2011, but Robert Tartaglia says he will attend this event just to explain to everybody how unsafe it is to go to Zambia. His action has been prompted after, he alleges, he was swindled out of US$6500 by a Zambian tour operator called "Travel Centre" that was advertised on the website of the Zambia National Tourism Board.
