I'm sure he wants it to be chaos, for PR

He did that on purpose to create chat like this.

Oh those are worthless. There's like a billion copies of those.
It's the limited and rare black books that's where it's at 😀

Exactly @ graham. Not just rooms but further publicity for the ongoing conflict.

What he is now doing which obviously technically goes against his ethos but he is happy to do it to support the Palestinian tourism stand. In that he has bought orctaking part in a tourism trade exhibition never mind an art fair.
By outwardly promoting it to Banksy fans and there are a few his aim is to make the Palestinian stand one of if not the busiest at the show. What this will do will as it is a trade Fair is make all the travel agents etc look at and wonder what’s making Palestine so popular and wondering what they are missing out on.
It’s really commercial of him but as always what’s quite beautiful is that yes he will sell a couple of extra rooms but the real benefit will be to all the other Palestinian exhibitors and the tourism authority.
So hats off and what a topman

I hope they have fook all, it’s going to be a profit seeking trip for most folks, The fact he even said he is going to give stuff away suggests he is going to take the piss, he is raising awareness and you are all going to play a part, those freebies will disintegrate, wait and see, he ain’t doing this for your benefit he is doing it for Palestine.

Why didn’t you go, not enough profit for you FR ?
You have suggested this is a display by Banksy to give away tote bags to folks that haven’t gone, you really do think about your pockets first don’t you....how is that going to benefit Palestine...... not that you care, you will try and flip anything just like those postcards.

Opens at 10am Hahaha... Imagine the look on the security guards faces when they see 100 travel agents queuing overnight for a trade fair. And most dressed and acting like they are not very successful travel agents!

Plus a rare opportunity to wear shoes. I’m going as a “producer of tv travel shows” - thought I’d mix it up!

I've also visited the Walled Off Hotel so glad to see it get some extra shine. Think this will bring the most publicity to the hotel since it's inception. Probably gonna piss off any neighbouring booth ha.
