Carving a Hotel Corridor

The six month old Mottley government cannot be accused of NOT making decisions. In the relatively short time since winning the government several initiatives have been promised with few started. There are private sector projects coming online- a few that have been in the pipeline before the Mottley government took up residence in Government House.

The most recent announcement by the government issued amidst the noise of the Christmas season is the plan to litter the coastline between Hastings and Paradise Beach with about twelve hotels with four receiving upgrades. What piqued the interest of the blogmaster was that areas in St. Lucy, Christ Church and St. Phillip will be identified for tourism related projects. The blogmaster suspects deals have already been cut in smoke-filled back rooms and what is left is the PR piece.

The question Barbadians must ask- are we happy continuing to pump millions in the tourism model? The way business is done in this sector requires generous concessions to be offered AND analysts agree there is significant foreign exchange leakage associated with the segment. The blogmaster is not suggesting we should neglect a sector all admit that is paying the bills. What we want to see is a different kind of investment to grow a more resilient economy.

During the Arthur administration BU posted concerns about the extent the coastline was being carved up to serve tourism development. One expects flyovers will enter the discussion at some point. Our opposition then and still relevant is that Barbados will lose its shine as a SID if we continue to morph into a concrete jungle. We are already seeing unusual changes with our coastline to suggest decisions taken are not in harmony with the environment. We struggle with implementing a waste management and efficient water system. Is it conceivable that we should be looking to ease our hand from the tourism investment mouth?

Regional governments and by extension the citizenry have demonstrated in the last twenty years a lack of innovation and creativity in the problem solving business.

    Hyatt is an International brand name that only fools would try wrestling to the ground
    Over the years that Hyatt has been established its name has never been associated with bribes low life or scalliwags
    Barbados brand / image has been tarnished internationally and to hear idiots questioning the credibilty of Hyatt and its financial resources acquired is laughable
    Barbados needs Hyatt.Hyatt does not need barbados
    Barbados seems to be satisfied with a bottle of MountGay in international markets a brand and an image barbadians seem quite happy to be associated
    Thinking outside the box had never been one of barbados claim to fame

    Mariposa…Hyatt fallS under the civil liabilities act…they understand the RULE OF LAW,,,something Bajan government ministers are yet to acquaint themselves with..

    ..so whether it’s Hyatt UK or Hyatt US…they understand the rule of law and the trouble they can get into with bribery corruption..

    Fo the 50th time, the Hyatt brand is not the problem…it is the Maloney gang and their WELL KNOWN BRIBERY CORRUPTION..is the problem..

    “THE IMPACT OF THE FOREIGN CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT AND THE UK BRIBERY ACT ON THE HOSPITALITY AND GAMING INDUSTRIES.’

    “In addition, the DOJ and SEC guidance has a very prominent section on aiding and abetting and conspiracy liability, which does not always come up when you think about the FCPA. But there is aiding and abetting liability and conspiracy liability for others’ FCPA violations, and the DOJ guidance says in particular that for civil liability the standard is recklessness, not even actual knowledge, so putting your head in the sand when someone else is doing something that would run afoul of the FCPA could create civil liability under the FCPA. “

    A national conversation on what? As someone, I think Northern, said earlier tourism is still our bread and butter. You remember Sealy’s Tourism Masterplan? Maybe that provides some evidence base for the touted “hotel zone”.🤣🤣 All jokes aside, I understand your concerns but I maintain that once properly planned there should be no need for alarm.

    Hyatt is a business. Business is about profit or ROI. If Hyatt sees the opportunity for a decent ROI, they will work with Maloney, I don’t know what rule of law you talking bout.

    You know very well that what is being touted as the Saviour plan for Bajan tourism is nothing more than an alphabet soup of warm over proposals dreamed up over the years by the Bajan Tourism Investment Inc (BTII) to justify its SOE’s existence stretching back to the days of previous prime ministers since the closure of the old Mobil Oil refinery.

    The problem with the Saviour plan is in its inability to attract genuine financiers with foreign money.
    How can you attract FDI for tourism projects for the South coast corridor when the government can’t even undertake a city rehabilitation project (from Roebuck Street to Nelson Street to the Orleans) that even Hal Austin can see from over 4,000 air miles away?

    What Bajans ought to concern themselves ‘more’ about is what the current administration- which touted itself as one committed to transparency and accountability- is going to do about the duties and taxes waived on a luxury vehicle for an non-existent Sales Director for an imaginary hotel.

    Should we enjoin our friend Caswell Franklyn to make this matter a very serious issue for discussion in the Upper Chamber in order to get a response from the MoF in the Lower House?

    Don’t you think Bajans have the right to question the plan of erecting hotels on the South coast from Hastings to Paradise when they are faced daily with the stark real(i)ties of seeing only bamboo huts facing a dilapidated rat infested Empire Theatre building and broken-down fencing overrun with bush hiding the promised Paradise now turned into an environmental hellhole?

    …and i spoke to an old gal in North York some years ago, she was in her 90s, she remembered cruising to Barbados much earlier than the 50s , sometime in the 40s she said, she said the boat NEVER stopped in Trinidad or Jamaica, they were too afraid of the violence, but she travelled to Barbados as a tourist many times…back then…over 6 decades ago..

    millerthenukee you are the Lilliputian with the jackass parasol to shade you from the moon. Where the island Hyatt move to getting money from to build a Miami style 400 hundred room hotel? That island’s economy is a third the size of ours. Mottley likes to quote that Bajans have $9 billion sitting in the banks.

    Hyatt was not built here for transparent political reasons: (1) pure evil spite (2) to derail improvement in the economy under the outgoing administration (3) to assist the then opposition in their attacks on economic mismanagement. In a word the project was sabotaged. All the shoite you dump cant change those facts.

    Barbados lost a valuable foreign exchange earner and job creator because of sabotage. Another jurisdiction gained bigly as a result. Voters need to take note. Five years go by quickly.

    Donks the Griping jackass aka “waiting”, what about also blaming Mottley and Comissiong for the Four Seasons fiasco even though Sinckler promised its resurgence as an economic game changer (just like the Hyatt) in every budget presentation since 2011?

    How come the ‘sabotaged’ Cahill nuclear plant did not migrate to St. Lucia or even Grenada after being exposed as a massive scam? Don’t those other countries also generate waste or capable of importing waste?

    How come you haven’t blame the Mottley woman and the Commie for your now decimated party’s inability to rehabilitate the sugar cane industry after Stinkliar secured a US$ 270 million dollar loan from the Japanese; or was it from the UAE?

    All the grandiose plans and cannot put simple lights whilst walking along a public pathway to protect visitors who bought a home in Barbados.

    I agree totally with Hal the island of Barbados is a failure and continue to pull the wool over the eyes of an ignorant backward population who seemingly can’t think for themselves.

    A violent robbery has left long time American visitors John and Janice Garrod contemplating whether they should ever return to the island. The two who own a property along the Batts Rock beach said everything has changed since the robbery.

    “Before we retired, we used to visit Barbados regularly. We then bought this house in 1998 and started staying for longer periods. Now we’re retired, we spend the winters here almost every year. When we first settled here, there was a period of trouble with break-ins, but that calmed down and it’s been pretty good or we would not have stayed, which is why this is so surprising,” said John, 80.

    The incident happened on December 7 when the couple had decided to frequent a newly opened restaurant in the area. They left their home around 5:15 p.m., when it was still relatively bright, unaware that none of the many torches along the path were working.

    “We had a good time and decided to have dinner. Around 6:45 p.m. we were walking back, but you could hardly see your hand in front your face – it was pitch black as the lights weren’t working. I suddenly got a shove which sent me stumbling down and then I heard my wife screaming,” he said. (CA)

    This type of nonsense usually comes from Bajans living abroad, who are catching their ass.

    If you judge Barbados from the way you guys describe it, anyone would believe it’s the worst place to live and everything is crumbling down.

    A feature of the mob is not only does it get angry if you do not agree with their views, they can often turn to violence. The mob is intolerant. As BERT fails, which it will, the angry mob will likely become violent. Remember Jamaica in 1976; remember Daniel Ortega in the early 1980s when he was the darling of the Left?

    And just to REINFORCE so there is no misunderstanding… and believe it or not the OECD states should be thanked for applying pressure to government to get this outcome.

    In this instance here, there is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON for any business in Barbados to ask for anymore concessions from taxpayers via government ministers, neither old businesses nor new businesses, hotels in particular, should be getting another dime of concessions in Barbados…new start ups need tax breaks…established companies do not need to be hanging on to the treasury and pension fund.

    Their corporate tax was REDUCED from 30% to a sliding scale of 1%- to 5%….let them get their lazy parasitic asses up and PRODUCE to EXPORT ..…stop sucking on taxpayers…they have STOLEN ENUFF….it is a measure that should be COPIED ACROSS THE CARIBBEAN TO DETER CORPORATE THIEVES.

    NO MORE CONCESSIONS….for businesses.

    https://barbadostoday.bb/2018/12/21/were-not-out-of-the-woods-yet-stephen/

    “Stephen pointed out that progress in 2019 would also depend on the private sector changing the way it does business from being locally-driven to export orientation, following the Prime Minister’s recent decision to lower corporation tax from 30 per cent to a sliding scale of one to five per cent.”

    But in comparison to what BREXIT will do to the asses of Britons, who ALSO have huge REPARATIONS that are due,- especially those STILL considered strangers within the gates of that racist country,
    …our grass will be lush.

    In comparison to where Trump will take the USA, – a country with many things yet to be accounted for by Karma, (and PARTICULARLY FOR THEIR UNWELCOME PEOPLE OF COLOUR)
    ….Barbados will look like a park…

    Bushie has said this already – but repeat it here for the record….

    These are TWO distinct discussions.

    Barbados is a VERY SPECIAL place that SHOULD have been a role model of development and success …because we had been blessed with EVERYTHING needed for fantastic success.
    BUT we were betrayed by greedy fools who led us into brass bowlery.

    These other places all enjoyed the initial (and temporary) fruits of their greed and selfishness from their pyramid schemes for a time and times …. and have now reached the point of collapse…. which will be spectacular….
    Woe betide the ‘unwanted’ in their midst …when the jobby reaches the big fan….. as it will shortly.
