Damion Crawford Doesn't Have A Clue...

This whole affair is hilarious...the only reason Crawford went on Nationwide was to rebut stinging claims from Bartlett that tourism is going to take a big hit from Ritz Carlton pulling out...Crawford specifically said that it would not hurt but benefit us as Ritz was an upscale brand while Playa was more mass market and would be of more benefit to Jamaica...as soon as I showed him the international article saying that Playa was going to rebrand as more upscale than Ritz is when he started backpedaling and saying he didn't say that...got him on tape this time...him cyaan slither out of this one

What is surprising is that Crawford is/was involved in tourism booking and making such a statement.- Don't let negative things break you, instead let it be your strength, your reason for growth. Life is for living and I won't spend my life feeling cheated and downtrodden.

No can't be right. Tell that to the Elegant resorts etc. Halfmoon, Round Hill etc. As an insider he can't be advocating against this form of tourism. Minister Mcneil on his visit to Portland not so long ago said this is what he is advocating for Portland. How has it failed Jamaica?
This is an unfortunate statement and not properly thought out any how you take it and he should withdraw it.- Don't let negative things break you, instead let it be your strength, your reason for growth. Life is for living and I won't spend my life feeling cheated and downtrodden.

I would like to see some hard numbers. How many upscale tourists come to Jamaica and want to come to Jamaica but were not able because of lack of rooms? I want to know how much money they spend compared to the mass market tourist? How long do they stay, comparatively?
Why are these upscale hotels more ecologically friendly? what have they done that the mass market hotels haven't?

Tell me how exactly would it fail Jamaica? If we are not getting enough tourists in that area, could it be we are not using proper marketing tatics? could it be because of harrassment? Could it be we no longer have the appeal?
All of those plus others have to be thrown in the mix- Don't let negative things break you, instead let it be your strength, your reason for growth. Life is for living and I won't spend my life feeling cheated and downtrodden.

Sass, please try to understand what I am saying. I am not saying anything would fail Jamaica. I don't know! The question, in my view, is whether one is better than the other. I think the minister is saying the closure of RC is not a big deal because we would prefer more mass market hotels than the high end ones. He must have a reason why he said so.
Since then, a lot of us have been saying the high end ones are better because of this and because of that. I am simply asking, what are the facts?

Mosiah the minister should know that we need a mix of high end and others. he shouldn't be advocatinng against any. His statement should have read "it is unfortunate but ............."
If it was you, I or some advocacy group arguing I could understand but not a tourist offical.- Don't let negative things break you, instead let it be your strength, your reason for growth. Life is for living and I won't spend my life feeling cheated and downtrodden.
