Media reports of crime, bad behavior, and litter are impacting hotel bookings in Bournemouth, England.
The town is famous for its sandy beaches, but this summer, it has experienced a slight downturn.
Hoteliers are blaming negative coverage for scaring people away from the region.
Rosie Radwell, owner of Marsham Court Hotel, said they experienced a slow summer and blamed the “scaremongering” for cancellations.
Radwell noted that the town has asylum seeker hotels, but they have no connection to the tourism industry.
