<div dir="ltr">I am not sure why you found this interesting. It seems to be the normal FB 'commercial' marketing strategy to lure more Africans to the platform as usage declines in more mature markets. Most operators in the tourist industry have already found that tech costs are higher these days but unavoidable. They cannot avoid using the major international platforms e.g <a href="http://booking.com">booking.com</a>, expedia etc. if they want to do business and so they have to release a percentage of their payments without necessarily increasing traffic. Other platforms e.g. Uber and AirBNB are also taking their toll on local business owners. We need to analyse carefully before we accept certain statements put out by companies and always be aware of the winners and the losers.<div>best</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">Dorothy K.
