However, the resin solution does appear to be a relatively cost-effective fix. Can Chile or UNESCO shake down the cruise lines for cash - in return for maybe exclusive use in marketing? Or . . . maybe wealthy nations just need to step up to the plate, although there are a number of worthy humanitarian causes which are arguably just as pressing, if not moreso. Or, the Dominican Republic charges all tourists an entrance fee of approx $20, so maybe Rapa Nui should do the same. $20 x 50,0000 could go a long way.
