A friend of mine who is a senior manager in one of the largest tour operators serving the Caribbean says the closure of so many hotels in Barbados over the years is presenting them with big headaches as they cannot sell packages without hotels. It is also logistically impossible to sell packages using condos or apartments as they would have to deal with many owners in the same development or complex, who each have furnished their units to their own style and to different levels of quality. - Your comment is awaiting moderation.

More tricks and gimmickry from Adrian Loveridge.That is merely a list of the NAMES. I asked you for much more information than that. You only want to present a skewed picture to suit your political motives. Below are the four key questions I asked you, along with a few additional ones. You know very well that any time you and I engage, it is always you who runs away.
1. What were the NAMES of each of those hotels, the locations and the room stock?
2. What was the total number of hotels and rooms in Barbados 15 years ago and what are the numbers today?
3. What were the total number of visitor arrivals to Barbados 15 years ago and what are the numbers today?
4. And why have you singled out only the past 15 years?
NEW QUESTIONS
5. What is the total number of new hotels and room stock OPENED in Barbados over the past 15 years?
6. What is the total number of hotels and room stock in operation in Barbados at the end of each year over the past 15 years?
7. If you dare, take the politics out of it, forget the past 15 years and present everything from 1966 to 2008?
I am 100% confident that you Adrian Loveridge will NEVER answer those questions!

Nonsense.
Why do tourists keep coming here in even greater numbers then?

Carlos Chase said,
“Why do tourists keep coming here in even greater numbers then?”A question for you.
Where did you get the tourist arrival figures on which you based this question? Do you include the one day cruise passengers?This has already been covered on this very blog.

Why does Mr Chase expect Mr Loveridge to provide him with these statistics? Should not the Government Tourism Authority, or Minister of Tourism have these numbers at hand?..What is his next request of Mr Loveridge, the names of the Guests that stayed at those closed Hotels? The names and national insurance numbers of the ex employees of those Hotels? When does it stop?And if Mr Chase is trying to make a case …let him go to the trouble of digging up the stats he wants.
The list of Hotels closed during that time frame is quite an eye opener and nothing Mr Chase can present will deny that they are gone. Gone! -

27 (or 2
hotels closing over a period of 15 years is an average of less than 2 hotels per year.
Hotels, like any other business, will have to face competition and several other factors affecting their operation.
Old businesses close and new businesses open all the time, whether it is supermarkets, airlines or fruit vendors on Swan St.
Adrian Loveridge is a FOOL!

Hey Hey | Friday, 4 April 2008, 7:30 pm at 7:30 pm
So Mr Chase. you are both making valid points, big deal…
Main question is who is benefitting from the tourism dollars that are coming in? Or are they, so much of our hotels are owned by foreigners now that the money never touches Bajan shores… All inclusive resorts are keeping the business in house and the smaller men/women on the outside are barely getting through, local vendors on the beaches are being alienated in their own lands, poverty is growing in a country where as Mr Chase is saying the hotels are increasing and more and more tourists are arriving. The population hasnt increased that much, so why are people getting poorer.
Drugs, Crime, Lawlessness and all kinds of negatives are taking over our Island and everyone is going on in their merry way and not saying a word.
We are here arguing over increase/decrease in hotels
You all really have to get a life..
By the way, a man is not a fool because he disagrees with you, if so, we are all fools
Ciao
