Promising article that ends up just talking about the negatives regards safety or tourism ventures.  Shame, the article could have been so much more rewarding.

the article has a lot of good examples to point to. i think the safety thing at the end was meant to be a positive of the new association to make sure that there are some safety standards as one incident could really hurt that whole industry or cause a over reaction crack down by authorities. these days editors are scarce and they usually are the ones looking for things like this where one wrongly worded paragraph at the wrong place can cause a problem for a piece like this.
