After his original Travelethos web site was disclosed as defrauding a well respected Balinese and Thai based children’s charity, Austin has re-opened his internet hotel booking site. His greed is immeasurable and even though he is a wanted man in Bali, he shamelessly seeks profit from the very island he despises and urges tourists to boycott on his other web sites.
Austin’s audacity in seeking profit for himself from the very island and people he despises is without measure. This man is without morals.
As with his last Travelethos hotel booking site, he once again fraudulently cloaks this site as being for the benefit of the Balinese. As with his previous site, if booking a hotel through the site, the booking goes through a third party booking agent, and he gets some, if not most of those commission.
The URL for this newly activated site is the same as the previous one he quickly closed down after being disclosed as fraudulent: http://www.travelethos.com/
In this new site it states:
“All / any profits made by us go to a good cause: for details please see our About Us (Travel Ethos) page.”
In another part of this site, he states how his profit will be used:
“1) To pay for the upkeep of this site and its associated Travel Forum.”
”2) To fight the endemic corruption and human rights abuse in Bali.”
What he means, is that he will be using those funds derived from bookings in those hotels to continue his web assault on Bali and its people!
PLEASE BOYCOTT TRAVELETHOS AND SPREAD THE WORD!
DO NOT BOOK YOUR HOTEL from Travelethos! Book those hotels from another site…any site or book direct. If you book from Travelethos you are only helping to fund a criminal who has clearly stated his hatred of Indonesia, Bali, and his intentions to commit murder against Indonesian officials!
How can YOU help?
It is completely understandable why so few people dare to cross swords with Austin. No one likes seeing their name smeared with lies and innuendo all over the internet. No man wants to read insults about his wife all over the internet. Austin ruthlessly uses intimidation and lies as a weapon and a deterrent to anyone to speak against him. As a result he is able to ward most of those who are willing to blow the whistle on him.
You can help by going to his newly activated Travelethos web site and contacting some of the hotels listed there. We are doing the same. The more these hotels are aware of the REAL Mark Andrew Austin and his criminal and fraudulent activities, the less “presence” Austin will have in Bali.
If you are active on any of the many Bali related internet forums, then post there with a link to this blog so more people are made aware of what is truly evil on Bali.
If you really want to help the Balinese people, you can by helping them get rid of this scourge to Bali…that scourge being Mark Andrew Austin!

Dear Wayan,
IMHO you should repeat the URL's of his hate websites towards Bali and the Balinese people. There is a short attention span on the net and his vitriole towards bali needs frequent reminders.
Jonathan, you are always welcomed to write to me directly at majapahit001@yahoo.com
For those of us who live in Bali, and call it home, Austin’s vitriol needs no reminders and all of those sites are already documented here on this blog. Many thanks for your comment.
