In previous posts I talked about the Problems of Tourism, and how Tourism is largely a self-involved business which basically involves the government and a business design merely to cater to travelers to our nature island.
As it stands now, Dominica spends millions on promotion, and the despite all the positive feedback we’re getting from travelers to Dominica there are still tourists leaving with same one complaints about the lack of proper accommodation and the problem of flights to and from our nature isle.
Let’s not underestimate the power of the spoken word. When dissatisfied tourists return home, they pass on their experiences to friends and family, negating the funds spent to advertise the country. That way we lose repeat and new business.
Enough whining and procrastination. Let’s move on to finally cleaning up Roseau and the other neglected areas of the island. Rather than wasting time talking about airy-fairy ideas such as the free movement of people throughout the Caribbean, and other similarly irrelevant issues?
The ministry of Tourism should get on with the revitalisation process. The government budget has been approved, it’s time we put our money to work in other to strengthen our fragile tourism industry.
