It Seems Infrastructure Upgrades Don't Matter In Tourism

[Don1]

Time fi yuh concede di argument yuteman...put yuhself outa di misery

BTW I hope you know that most of the marketing which actually brings visitors to Jamaica is done by hoteliers, cruise lines, airlines and attraction owners...and NOT the JTB??

[Don1]

That red herring was expected....anyone can speak sense sometimes... even yuh and mi

[Assasin]

conceed what? Infrastructure a the main contributer to tourism? No way. It helps but Marketing, service and internal travel working with tour operator, travel agents, industry players etc. are first and foremost.

Port Antonio had more tourist 35 years ago in case you don't realise.

Not true, died because of infrastructure. It had the same infrastructure and even better than now. It died because of people who can't market, instead it is because of the "build it and they will come attitude". They build the Marina and how many boats have been coming? Yes it look pretty.

[Bricktop]

Dem mustn't print the truth?

[Don1]

I see that & raise you this major "news" item today


If only the Gov't would think like 'Butch'

[Bricktop]

The government should not think like a self made billionaire? Instructive...

[Don1]

Whether it should or shouldn't is irrelevant to the discussion here.

What's relevant is that the newspaper's opinion is presented as "news" and it's clearly part of a pattern of unethical press manipulation by said newspaper... unethical unless one accepts Banana Republic thinking as normal

[Assasin]

Yu Puup!!! Read yah now.LOL
