if you flip through the multitude of forums that he seems to pop up on with info as soon as VIP VOA is mentioned!
not a bad little earner either 30 pax per day at $27 each,$810 per day for a person going to the airport every time there is a booking!
I bet the porters and other airport staff can only dream on!
I say good on him,business is business but you do tend to have a bias opinion when you have an interest in a business that you promote.
And if indeed he does(i dont know) have an interest then this forum is not really the place to promote it given it is a questionable service anyway.
The real reason behind the VOA increasing to $25 US for those that used to pay $10 US for a shorter stay is the fact that concierge services and other airport officials were charging $25US for VOA to unsuspecting tourists who only needed to pay $10US and keeping the rest.
Hard on the short stay trippers but less likely to be abused or pocketed as there is nothing to pocket unless its stolen.
