Bardia elephant polo fails to attract visitors

[Guest guest]

>According to hotel entrepreneurs, nearly 120 international tourists

>have come to Bardia solely to watch the Elephant Polo competition.

 

 

In other words, about half as many people as go to Asia for Animals.

 

 

>Despite the lack of foreign tourists, the locals have shown much

>enthusiasm in the game with nearly 3-4,000 people coming to the

>grounds each day.

 

 

That's about as many as pause momentarily to gawk at a

traffic accident.
