Is this a case of deja vu or some new mumbo-jumbo all over again? How come every time visitors from the motherland set foot here in Barbados there is some controversy? Yes I speak of the 90 or so African (Nigerian) students who have unfortunately somehow found themselves temporarily sojourning at Casa Blanca.
While one would willing admit, that all facts and circumstances surrounding are still unclear, one cannot help but ponder WHY in a country whose number one revenue earner is tourism, this mishap would not have been somehow nipped in the bud by now. Have some ever heard of damage control or contingency management? Is this not what is supposedly being taught at our School of Hospitalities Studies nowadays….how to pamper one’s guest and go all out wherever possible, to see that they are comfortable and adequately accommodated? Ironically, some of these very students are said to be here to learn from us the social science of Hotel Management and Hospitalities.
As stated before all circumstance are not clear as to how these ‘our visitors’ found themselves in the circumstance, however one would tend to believe that by now all would have been resolved. Finger pointing at this stage does nothing to end the mix up, damage control should be paramount. “Postponing the solution does nothing to resolve the problem”..that by now should be clear.
