Tourism Matters: Welcoming Locals for ‘Staycations’ – By Adrian Loveridge

Commentary: Tourism Matters: Welcoming Locals for ‘Staycations’

– By Adrian Loveridge – Barbados

With the recent reminder by Hugh Riley, the secretary general of the Caribbean Tourism Organisation (CTO) that on average around 30 percent of the entire regional hotel room stock is empty at any given time of the year, it is perhaps even more surprising that greater emphasis is currently not being placed promoting the much heralded ‘Staycation initiative’.

As we enter the long, soft summer period, surely our hoteliers can see the value of filling otherwise empty rooms, even if they cannot command those hefty rates extracted in the winter peak period?

THE CLOSER Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas, gets to the end of his reign, the more extreme his language becomes.

Recently he spoke about Donald Trump and uttered the words “May your house be destroyed”. In Arabic this is a common curse, and sounds less extreme than in English. But even in Arabic this is not a usual phrase when speaking about a head of state.

In Ken’s own inimitable voice:

Main Street R.C was the beginnings of my “memories of life”.
In those colonial times, into at least the late 40’s, corporal punishment was the normal “behavior modification technique” for boys. Mr. Hope was the teacher in sixth standard and the most vicious of the lot. We privately called him “Hopey Goady”. Up to this day, I can’t help thinking that he perversely enjoyed beating kids.
