Never underestimate the power of many working together as one! via Sasha Alazy: Progress!! After years of booming business serving locals, mainland Chinese and overseas Chinese, shark fin dealers in Hong Kong have been hit by a drastic market downturn – estimates for 2012 from the government showed that the market shrank by 50 to 70 percent. Roughly one-third of Hong Kong’s shark fin shops have closed down in recent years due to pressure from environmentalists. The Peninsula Hotels and Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts, both prominent luxury hotel groups in Asia, have removed shark fin soup from their menus. Cathay Pacific, Air New Zealand, Korean Air, Fiji Airways and other airlines have also banned shark fins from their planes.
