Westin Siray Bay concedes to local taxi mafia
So the hotel signed with the taxi "co-op" that their cars, and those of Hello Phuket will be the only ones allowed on the property.
I hope the Westin realizes that having a "no blockade" agreement will mean nothing to them in any dispute. The blockade tactic willl be employed if the taxis have unresolved complaints. It's in their blood.
...taxi drivers co-operative will be allowed to operate a stand just outside the Westin Siray Bay Resort in Phuket, but only under certain conditions
"During that meeting, the hotel representatives agreed to let the co-op operate a stand at the resort, but only if they promised not to stage protests, block Hello Phuket vehicles from accessing the resort or cause any other disturbances to resort operations.
The Westin Siray Bay Resort in return agreed not to allow in any other taxi operators, except for Hello Phuket.
Other conditions agreed to by the co-op were that the stand will be operated by a single English-speaking representative from 9am to 9pm."
