Let's be realistic here how much money does Tobago make from tourism, we spending money and I not saying no but it have to make sense. Where are the returns ? Every year the THA budget demands increase. We pumping millions into tourism possibly billions into tourism into the last decade , what have we achieved? This all comes back to my point give Tobago their autonomy, let us see if tourism can really support their economy wholly and solely.
If you fail to do anything about crime then alll that money spent behind tourism is moot. No investor or tourist will want to come here looking at our crime rate. Sad reality.leavingforgood wrote:hover11 wrote:Dizz,Dizzy28 wrote:hover11 wrote:Also let foreigners pay the full costs, there is no reason as to why foreigners should be benefiting from our privileges.

Nothing but facts.
Trinidad and Tobago does not have a tourism culture and I am tired of the government halfassing it. They keep dangling the tourism carrot by pumping in millions of dollars into that dead sector while refusing to acknowledge the root of the problem. T&T's tourism sector needs a major overhaul with younger people at the forefront, who actively dedicate their careers to making Tobago a real tourism hub.

Stupid and irrelevant comment but I shall indulge , there are certain things that are established based on collective agreements just as how in your private contract of work it is stated your hours of work, rate of pay etc the collective agreement establishes the policies and procedures between that relationship of the employer and the employees. Backpay stimulates the economy, where in that more money is placed into the hands of workers who in turn spend it in businesses. Who we going to wait to stimulate the economy the private sector? HA, would love to hear your brilliant ideas to revive this economy wait you have none.... anyway you had no problem when politicians received their backpay and salaries increased yet you want to take from the small man. Lol.st7 wrote:govt workers need to ween off the govt too.
backpay shouldn't be a thing. that's just a big loss to state agencies. if you want more money, go get another wuk
See you provided nothing of substance as per usual....you're dismissed, you can crawl back in your hole nowst7 wrote:says the govt sufferer constantly posting on trinituner during work hours...
What's the tourism draw? Who is flying to Trinidad instead of going to Aruba or Cancun or Rio? You think people will go to Tobago instead of Puerto Rico? The Pitch Lake instead of Lake Geneva?leavingforgood wrote:hover11 wrote:Dizz,Dizzy28 wrote:hover11 wrote:Also let foreigners pay the full costs, there is no reason as to why foreigners should be benefiting from our privileges.

You're just the latest troller (and probably not a new one) to blow up the forum with sadass bullshitt posts about not so much.

Sigh. I'll indulge your ignorance.
Similar to many European, Asian, and South and North American countries, Trinidad and Tobago can develop festivals, events, casinos and fiscal incentives that draw tourism to the country with the right collaborations and legislations.
The fact that you think the only way to have tourism is to go look at a physical place like the pitch lake, tells me you are all mouth and probably have never been on a plane, boat, or car beyond a maxi. I am not a fan of Trinidad & Tobago at all, but even I can see potential in it with the right guidance and culture change, which it has sorely lacked for decades.
Pretending that T&T cannot develop its culture to suite tourism is like saying the UAE will only be a pile of sand that produces oil, France is only the Eifel Tower, or England is only Buckingham palace. You clearly lack vision, knowledge, and culture, and are most likely a sufferer from the depths of some village with dirt roads.

Wrong. The three main ingredients are:
Transportation - Provide more flights. Regulate the taxi service. Shorten commute between islands.
Accommodation/ Lodging - better worldwide hotel chain representation. Increase the number of rooms.
Food and Beverage - better, more varied restaurants near the hotels.
Fighting over how young the representatives are is your layman's dumbass solution? Small businesses and tiny guest houses need to go. If you want conventions and large party bookings putting three or four thousand visitors into two or three hotels simultaneously, start with sleeping, eating and transportation. Nobody but a Trini is happy drinking rum and eating on the side of the road.[/quote][/quote][/quote][/quote][/quote]
