HILTON HEAD ISLAND: Hospitality association tells hotels and campgrounds to 
report 'suspicious' bookings to police. 

By Stephanie Ingersoll

Southern hospitality apparently does not extend to protesters.

The Hilton Head Area Hospitality Association sent an e-mail to hundreds of 
members Tuesday warning them that G-8 Summit protesters may try to reserve rooms 
in the area and asking all hotel and campground operators to notify the FBI 
or police of "suspicious" bookings.

The summit will be held June 8 to 10 on Sea Island, Ga., this year. Leaders 
from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia the United Kingdom and the 
United States are expected to gather to discuss issues such as trade, energy, 
health, finance, terrorism and weapons of mass destruction.


Thousands of protesters embracing causes ranging from animal rights to 
globalization are expected in Savannah since Sea Island will be off limits. Because 
many hotels, RV parks and campgrounds in Georgia have already been booked by 
summit participants and support personnel, protesters may set up staging areas 
in the Lowcountry.
