The powers that be are shameless, renaming SOE as it pertains to St. James is evidence of one parish given undue credence over others, they are not even trying to hide it.

haven't been there much, as I rather the off the beat rivers and the beaches in Portland. It doesn't surprise me, It all come down from the managers and the untrained staff. The Marina is widely use but I appreciate that this woman is bringing up the subject. If everybody keep quiet it continue.

As a black person, try talking to 9ne of the black security guards at the Holiday Inn, Montego Bay. They are mostly straight from the plantations. Totally stupid and backward. Well trained by their white handlers.

[Sir X]

Can you blame them,that's the criteria for the job and given the high unemployment many would go to school to learn the criteria.


Nuh true Sass?

That is from someone who is ignorant about tourism training. People who are trained don't act that way. I am sure you can find those backward people in the industry you work as well.

Our @tpdcoja Destination Manager for Portland and St. Thomas, Mr. Daryl White-Wong recently met with visitor to the island, Ms. Patti-Ann Trainor, to discuss issues she raised about a local marina, in a now viral Facebook Live post. As a result of the discussion, steps are now being put in place to ensure the problems raised are resolved.

Specifically, all security personnel at the facility will now undergo our Team Jamaica training, to improve their customer service skills. The Port Authority of Jamaica, who own and operate the marina, also sought to clarify the perception of prejudice against Ms. Trainor’s friend. They explained that while the marina has many public facilities, the pool in question should only be accessible to persons who have paid to dock at the marina.

It remains the Ministry’s priority to ensure that both our visitors and citizens experiencing the product are treated with the utmost respect at all times and their rights are not compromised. Therefore, Ms Trainor’s suggestions were also taken into account as we strive to improve our tourism product for all.

yeah but that rule regarding use of the pool was only invoked when her friend entered the equation .... before that she had free reign.

betta him neva did even address that by saying what he did. that was a retrograde step to an otherwise reasonable response...

That's right. The idiot security guards should be capable of good judgement or at least basic human decency no matter what the training.

[Rudi]

Interesting that these things seem to get more blatant when....
Ok back to the prosperity train. Nothing has changed much in the Jamaican plantation. The ignorant security guards are now being thrown under the bus as if they could ever take it upon themselves to determine policy. They were acting/doing exactly what is expected of them by their employers. Who expected the white lady to complain? Embarrassed the plantation dolly house. Tourism prosperity mi seh.

Rudi good to see the man check in. Hope all is well on your side.

[Rudi]

Everything Criss big man.

Did you read my orginal post?

"It all come down from the managers and the untrained staff. The Marina is widely use but I appreciate that this woman is bringing up the subject. If everybody keep quiet it continue."

This doesn't just happen it tourism, it happens in many walk of life in Jamaica, in healthcare, in education etc. Again training is the only way I know to get it better.
