Where is Chastenet's genius? Does it only manifest itself to be as ordinary as the actions of some of his rivals, as being in a dire need for a pension and getting it by getting into politics?
Long live the OECS.
Soufrierians are not interested in returning to love Massa. Even if so many of us still wish that our kids and grandkids were made in the likeness of Massa!
“A man’s word is his bond!” and the hatching out a secret arrangement that is in place with the false hope of Allan wishful thinking is equivalent to a male papaya tree bearing edible fruits.
History has shown us, again and again and again, how the people react to secret arrangements. Still politicians refuse to learn!
Allan is looking for more power for himself, whether or not with the best intentions, see how he tried to sell the queen’s chain, that deal was blocked, the green law firm is idle, not enough lands sale going on in Soufriere as anticipated, though there is lots of pressure on home owners in the area of high street and bay street to sell…
But just one difference this time the slaves will not do the hard back-killing work for the masters to profited from their sweat and toil.
Election 2011 soon come! And we hope you return to Soufriere as often as you do now.
The problem with tourism in the OECS is that there are too many political appointments in the various tourism offices of the islands.These political appointees know nothing of how to market and package the regional tourism product!
Instead of hiring skilled persons with experience who have studied Tourism, Hotel Management,Destination Marketing, Destination Management or related disciplines at reknowned institutions in the more developed world, the various tourist offices/ boards of the region hire individuals based on skin colour and party affiliations.
The end result is that the Caribbean tourism product is suffering. Times have changed and we cannot continue to market ourselves as mere "sun, sea and fun" destinations. No, we need innovative thinkers who are aware of new tourism/travel trends, and who can help tailor our tourism product to meet the needs of the new market.Changes are also needed in our target market.
Lots of advice to give, but I think that positive change can only come when we start hiring qualified persons to man the various tourist boards/offices of the region. Until then,tourism in the OECS will continue to be a game of "luck and chance."
This marketing concept, “marketing is everybody’s business,” was developed to capture these groups of individuals, namely: St. Lucian Nationals who are students; St. Lucian entrepreneurs and various classification of St. Lucian workers, for the purpose of marketing hotels and other products owned and operated by St. Lucians on the island. These hotels and other products have been branded “Gems of Saint Lucia” for the purpose of distinguishing them from other non Gems products. As a result of this new concept, the island will enjoy increased visitor arrival from non-traditional markets, thereby maintaining a healthy dollar/guest ratio in the short and long term.

Blogger #4 has the right idea, however, I would put it more simply and directly, i.e., St Lucia needs LESS nepotism and MORE top-notch education.
Bring on the university IMMEDIATELY!
A nation's overall education determines its fate.
Saint Lucia after the collapse of bananas should have had a phasing out to tourism and undergone a structural adjustment in the economy.
Saint Lucia moved from sugar to bananas. Then carried the workforce to banana cultivation and employed more people to be involved in other activities involving new technologies (e.g., aerial spraying), and modes of transportation.
The banana industry collapsed and finally understood (it finally dawned on Kenny) that tourism was going to be the major cylinder firing our economic engine. All good and well,.
HOWEVER, unlike bananas -- a different sector altogether with a different mode of production could not and was unable to carry the workers from bananas to the tourism sector.
The transfer of skills there minimal to non-existent, the number of people required was smaller than the army of people employed in banana production.
The Result? Idle hands; Surplus labor; Urban drift.
This my friend is the genesis of the economics of structural adjustment of the Saint Lucian economy that neither the SLP nor the UWP has the perception nor the capacity to address, no matter how many doctors they have within or outside their parties.
LPM is the difference.
Even when you teach, it does not mean you understand everything or that you fully understand anything. There is a saying that 'those who don't know teach'. Now check out those who don't know anything at all about what they are given to read, for example, the governor, and the current PM.
Those benefits include experience, and a shorter route to becoming a registered nurse. Home health care nurses may work specifically with one patient on a long-term basis, but more often, they visit several patients a day on a schedule that changes from week to week. Nursing Programs teaches what you require to know to succeed in their field.
