The Spanish is teaching Jamaicans about hospitality and tourism.

really!?!?

[Mosiah]

ok, tek yuh fingah offa di pulse fi a minute...

Haitians will work for US$1/day...with zero benefits & in squalid conditions..

Jamaicans won't...

Jamaica needs to move up the value chain... more R & D to create more value added applied to our products

Primary production won't cut it... that's a race to the bottom

The dumb private sector does not support investment in R & D... just buy & sell

That's the basic problem...the backward haberdashery mentality

[Sickko]

And lets not talk about the amount of time you lick you finger with the rock stone

[Mosiah]

nuh haberadashery (suh it spell?) run downtown? why yuh waan stop di extortionist dem food?

HL and Assasin dont even mention the hospitality industry, because that is the pits. Hotel Executive Director retire and haas to go back to his hell hole in europe, Jamaican assistant manager gets ovelooked. He has a masters in hotel management from UWI. They go to europe and bring a German, Austrian, French, or British clown with a high school degree and a surf board, whose only experience was as a doorman or desk clerk in Monaco. The jamaican teach him everything, this while the idiot is barely literate. The idiot gets appointed to Executive director, and the Jamaican with the masters becomes food and beverage manager, or events planner, whatever that is. The Jakan still has to do the work of Executive director. The white man goes to all the Governor General's balls, gets the house overlooking the airport, car with driver, 2 maids, 5 gardeners, direct line to the minister of tourism etc. Realizing that he could not have achieved this in his wildest dreams, in any meritocracy, he cant help but want to remain forever in this paradise on earth. The same one which is hell to the jamaican with his masters. So the clown marries a wannabe-white Jamaican, gets automatic citizenship, have couple children. Children who cant pass GCE end up in some second rate school in Miami, sniff coke, surf, and party for 4 years then returns to Ja, with the sense that he is better than everybody darker than him. Gets a job in the same hotel, dad appoints him food and beverage manager, and the jamaican with the masters becomes head of house keeping... and on and on, while the Jamaican courts and politicians/policy makers stand idly by with the blank stare of stupidity on their faces, drinking whiskey with the same idiot who is keeping his people in the underclass. Talk about apatheid. Its fu@#ed up.

Was/Is Maudib in he hospitality industry?

This sounds like it could be his bio

[Mosiah]

anyting hospitable bout Maudib?

in your best country & western slang -
"hawspitable? HAWSE S H I T!"

(sorry, one of my all time favorite movie lines, Clint Eastwood's, I believe! i remember the line but not the movie. sad!)

[Don1]

yuh rite... I unreservedly withdraw the post

[HL]

No?

I am sure there are local hospatility schools and training facillities.

Just that Jamaica does not come across (forcefully enough) to give the impression that is them rule hospatility and tourism.

(For the most part) I am impressed by the services i receive when i visit. Chusssss mi.
