- If you were YODEL how would you be dealing with this? Email martyn@ivisitorguide.com and let me know your thoughts.Needless to say if you run a tourism business do not let this happen to you - learn how to manage your on line reputation.
I just checked the @YodelNews account again to see if they had begun responding to any of these continuing complaints.
THEY HAVE TWEETED!

Still not listening obviously!
