another multilingual site

Generally I would say no because they need not be an accentuated feature of the website, but in this case (a brochure site for tourists) I'd say yes Smile (they are so common in tourist brochures and pretty important in this context).

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, it's an interesting topic. Frankly, I was happily unaware of the discussion but suspected there might be some academic goings-on someplace. Even though there's some validity to the arguments offered by the author and the proposed text labels are a fine solution, the politically correct "O-M-G-some-foreign-people-might-think-this-looks-like-their-previous-colonial-master's-flag" is a bit hilarious. I'm happy to learn it's not going to be a big deal in this specific case.
