Was thinking the same thing but not so much with the brands unless they're adding shark and bake to their menus. They'll probably start up some new shark and bake/seafood "franchise" or get their own people to run traditional-type huts.
Expect to pay 1% prices too...
look at the infrastructure now, think about zanzeebar / lure now imagine a nice beach front area with deck serving drinks, food etc, a few hagin dass ice cream shops, a few gyro men. think about the night life that can be created up maracas and the $$$ generated for the 1%.

Lol... I'm more concerned about everybody pissing in the water. I'm sure you will be swimming in urine if you go there on a public holiday or Ash Wednesday.matr1x wrote:Wasn't there a story of a vagrant who used to poop on the beach every morning ?

Honestly, it's a good idea to improve the area to promote tourism (both local and otherwise). Sadly, we know what happens to good ideas in this country. I'm am cringing in anticipation of the inevitable bobol to come

What do we have to show for that?
A car park that charges $30.00 to drive in and park! And about 8 concrete booths.
I think somebody digging Stuart as we speakshake d livin wake d dead wrote:If this is true...stuart young would dig up some files on kamla et al....who get that contract?
I don't mind paying taxes. However I went Maracas beach yesterday 30-5-18 and I have not seen where $61 million was spent.
True there is a brand new car park but that couldn't have possibly been even $5 million worth of spending. They didn't have to start with a green field since there was already a carpark.
NO enhancements to the beach. The beach is still the same except for a few additional rocks from the construction of the vendors' booths. As one of my friends said: "They need more sand!"
And the booths cannot be opened either. I heard that it has something to do with it being too close to the sewage plant. This means that there were NO approvals from WASA. To be honest with you I don't know where the sewerage plant is since I was looking for it.
There is NO public bathing facilities (showers) and if there were any it is a best kept secret since no one seems to know if there is any. There are no signs for ANYTHING - no signs to state where the parking is, only to realise you have to drive at the END of the car park to get to the entrance, no signs for toilet facilities, no sign for lifeguard, no signs for vendors.
No running water anywhere. I assumed this has something to do with WASA but fortunately I brought a 2 liter bottle of water with me to at least wash feet.
For $61 million I thought there would be some beach enhancements, maybe a pier closer to the river side, 500 meters into the ocean, 10 meters wide for fishing, walking. Setup a 24 hour service. Pay $5 to use the pier. And no matter which government is in office there seems to be little innovation. NO pier at Chaguaramas or Manzanilla either.
And speaking of lack of innovation, you mean to tell me that they couldn't move the road between the car park and the beach?? For $61 million I thought you would have at least that idea. Did they at least had people come up with several ideas on how the "new" beach was going to be? Everything has to be to fill people's pockets without at least getting some value for it???
If therefore the government cannot come clean with taxpayers' money then don't ask us for additional tax!
