Article in the Guardian. Should holidaymakers consider that Royal Family Princesses have 'not been seen' before holidaying in Dubai. Is holidaying in Dubai ethical?

Categorically not. The Dubai tourist industry is whitewashing a repressive regime. Jews aren't even allowed to enter.

I did not know that. In holiday terms alone from what I read and hear from friends, it's not on my list of places to visit. I would rather visit London and we all know how much I despise that horrid place.

An estimated 50.000 Israelis have holidayed in Dubai since relations were normalised. Other Gulf states are following.

In terms of Toms question. The Emirates are built on the exploitation of migrant workers. So is the World Cup.

Dubai, with visits to Glasgow, Edinburgh and London

Sorry that’s wrong now.

Israel and the UAE have signed a treaty and there is free travel between both states. Lots of Israelis at the tourist attractions.

So the avaricious Dubai rulers decided they'd like a slice of the Israeli tourist dollar as well. The point still holds even if the example is slightly out of date.

Would never go to Dubai because of their humanitarian policies.

I went once, in 2003

That was enough

I led a straight lifestyle back then

There is not a chance I would holiday in a country where homosexuality is illegal

That’s a difficult question to answer. If you look closely at lots of countries there are human rights reasons to not go there. Does avoidance help the people living in these countries?

Sanctions and boycotts can force regimes to change as with apartheid in South Africa. No guarantees of course.
