I'd love to explain it but it doesn't make a lot of sense to me either. Some kind of law saying that the BBC can't make profit from us in the UK, because they are funded instead by the TV licence fee[0]: we pay the government/BBC about US$250 per year to be allowed to watch television broadcast by anyone, BBC or otherwise. The message we get when visiting this URL: "We're sorry but this site is not accessible from the UK as it is part of our international service and is not funded by the licence fee. It is run commercially by BBC Worldwide, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the BBC, the profits made from it go back to BBC programme-makers to help fund great new BBC programmes. You can find out more about BBC Worldwide and its digital activities at www.bbcworldwide.com. "If you are looking for travel news in the UK, please visit the Travel News site."
