TTG Top 50 London agent Nick Harding-McKay, owner of Balham-based Travel Designers, has written to his supplier partners asking them to avoid selling the east African country “while such threats to a large section of the community are in place by their government”.
He also added that the governor’s announcement could pose a threat to tourists in the area.
Harding-McKay’s plea followed the news that Paul Makonda, governor of the country’s economic capital Dar es Salaam, told reporters round-ups of gay people would begin in the next week.
