Tоur bus tensiоns run high Business rivаlries оn Hollywood Boulevаrd hаve gotten ugly as tourism has picked up. By Hugo Martin, Los Angeles Times, July 4, 2015 The confrontation between competing tour bus operators on Hollywood Boulevard escalated quickly. Jeff Napshin, owner of Star Track Tours, was distributing fliers on a busy corner a few months ago when an angry rival approached, ridiculing Napshin. Cellphone video shows Patrick Hickey, owner of Rockin’ Hollywood Tours, getting more and more irate. “Get that phone out of my face!” Hickey shouted as he pushed the phone away, sending it crashing to the ground. The tour bus business on Hollywood Boulevard has become ultra competitive — at times downright hostile. Operators are looking to score big profits from a recent surge in visitors to Los Angeles. Shoving matches, arguments and harassment are common among tour bus owners and drivers vying for coveted stretches of sidewalk, according to police and tourism officials. “It happens right outside of our doors sometimes,” said Leron Gubler, president of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. “This is something that does need to be addressed.” The rivalries among tour bus companies have become more heated as tourist numbers have climbed. Los Angeles set a tourism record last year with 44.2 million visitors, a 4.8% increase over the 2013 tally, according to the Los Angeles Tourism & Convention Board. International visitors are coveted because they generally stay longer and spend more per visit. Tours that cruise by celebrity homes or famous movie locations charge about $35 to $60 a person, depending on the length of the excursion. Tour vans can carry about nine passengers, and double-deck buses can hold up to 80 tourists. Gubler estimates that 20 to 30 tour bus companies operate along Hollywood Boulevard, up from 7 or 8 companies about five years ago. Tour operators and tourism officials say some tour businesses on the boulevard don’t have permits or insurance. The California Highway Patrol is designated to check the bus companies for permits and insurance, but CHP officials say they respond only when complaints are lodged. Most established tour bus companies have laid claim to stretches of Hollywood Boulevard where they solicit tourists. Conflicts arise when a tour bus business tries to solicit in a competitor’s area. “It can get quite aggressive out there,” said Philip Ferentinos, director of Star-line Tours. “Some people feel certain parts of the boulevard are theirs.” Since 2008, LAPD arrest reports show, at least seven tour bus employees have been arrested on suspicion of assault, battery and making criminal threats on Hollywood Boulevard. But area detectives say most of the confrontations don’t escalate beyond arguments and pushing. “It is territorial out there,” LAPD Det. Kevin Becker said. Shortly after Napshin opened his tour business, he filed a lawsuit claiming that three competitors harassed and assaulted him. “It was literally months of hell and months of getting verbally and physically attacked,” he said. A few months after the complaint was filed, Napshin and the defendants, including Hickey, settled the suit, agreeing to stay clear of each other’s territory. William Moore, an attorney, agrees that the tour bus business has become heated in recent years. “There is a lot of money to be made by selling the tours and there are a lot of people trying to get into it,” he said. Other tour bus operators have described getting a hostile welcome to Hollywood Boulevard. Mike Chase, the operator of Prime Time Hollywood Tours on Hollywood Boulevard, said several competitors tried to intimidate him when he launched his business in 2012. He said he had to ask friends to hang around his kiosk to keep his rivals at bay. “They act like they are mobsters or the mafia,” Chase said. “It’s like the wild, wild West.” Question Summarize the article “Tour bus tensions run high” as it relates to the discussion on monopolistic competition.
