The official letters to U.S. travel agencies Abercrombie & Kent, Geographic Expeditions, and Wild Frontiers raise concerns about advertised tours in the region and asks that the agencies cancel any planned tours to the XUAR or respond to questions about company policies and the tours advertised on their website.
“Tourism whitewashes the atrocities committed against Uyghurs and other minorities and puts a happy face on genocide” in Xinjiang, the lettrr reads, urging companies to “not be complicit in this effort, marketing PRC-controlled tours to U.S. citizens and other foreigners.”
"Instead, the U.S. and its allies should be demanding unfettered access for the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials, and long-banned experts on the region to conduct investigations of past and ongoing atrocities and other gross violations of human rights, such as forced labor.”
I agree and support calling out human rights violations and atrocities. So US, do you have any other current tourist locations you’d like to add to the list? Or stop providing material, economic, and political support for?
It’s so rich that the US would be the ones bleating so loud about this conspiracy theory, almost as if there was some other ulterior motive to this lie.
