was hearing one hotel had not even 1 occupant ( 0% occupancy)

There's a video circulating with the owner of Rovanel's in a town hall style meeting indicating all 0 out of his 68 rooms are occupied and he has to start laying off staff.

^^Thiz not just an air/sea bridge problem...suma dem Bago hotels does do real vikey vikey thing.

Sylvan Rollocks, owner of Rovanel Resort, said he had to lay off 18 of his 38 workers because of zero occupancy levels at the 62-room hotel. He said problems with the water supply had made the situation worse.

Apparently the new meaning of autonomy is to collect money from your dependant sister state and spend it how you want, all while still being dependant

A port in Toco makes no sense.....

There was one from 1881 - 1930.

That is how the majority of Tobagonians came to Trinidad in the 19th to early 20th centuries.

Really...wow...never knrw that....where did you get that info from?......history always fascinates me ....

Inside for info...

Well we had trains...but the father ah d nation........say no more

we had donkey carts too-

A big part of the move away from trains had to do with the facts that we had an abundant supply of oil and refined same here.
The world was moving towards vehicular traffic.

There were pros and cons.

Is it true that the car dealers at the time influenced the government to remove the train so that they could sell more cars?

[SR]

And they still influencing....

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Yes this is true. I spoken about this before. One of my great uncles relayed this to me and It was on a radio talk show program before.

There was also a scrap dealer involved where the trains and rails was sold to Brazil

You would expect Shamfa Cudjoe of Tobago West and Ayanna Webster-Roy of Tobago East would be blasting the PNM for all this seabridge bs.

But as we can see... PNM loyalty > Tobago problems

[88sins]

So when the build Sandals what will happen to the guest houses and hotel occupancy rates already there?

Wait for it
like I said before, when this new property tax comes on stream, yuh go see how they go feel d squeeze. Especially since is plenty old ppl borrow to build apt's on their property to rent out. So occupancy down, can't pay d bank, & high property taxes in dey rasclat.

answered before it was aked

[shake d livin wake d dead]

I could bet when that ferry reach and it up and running you would hear bagonians comments like "pm ensured we get sort out and pnm care bout the people of tobgao....blah blah blah"...all the months of sufferation forgotten

Its cheaper to go to another island as a tourist and get better quality hotel rooms and customer service. From greetings at the airport to tours around the island. 2 weeks ago st lucia hotels were sold out. Customer service at both airports was excellent. Everyone was pleased to see you and help. You will not get that in tobago.

This is true especially for Grenada.

Only thing is you feel you are in Trinidad when in Grenada but as a much more safer level. Nearly every one in Grenada has a family or some point lived in Trini.

Not too long ago certain PNM supporters were alleging that people were "exaggerating" the deteriorating conditions in Tobago because they "obviously had an agenda".

Yuh eh hearing one fart from dem now...effin' Morons...

Normal 2NR PNM sheep M.O. Go deep and silent when the kantery they so often spew is proven incorrect, then resurface like un-flushable turds when the issue has blown over.

The establishment of a viable business in Tobago has always been challenging with size of market, transportation logistic, infrastructural decay, limited support services and associated overhead costs.
Most of the investments targeted the capital and service requirements of the vacation/ holiday markets and to be fair, rate of returns never hit the levels hoped for. Today many who are holding on are trapped with sunken costs and are hoping and just hoping.
The obvious deterioration of the condition of the in-place vacation stock demonstrates that many owners/investors just don't have the capital for refurbishments and consequently the island's branding has fallen badly making this destination difficult to market.
The truth is that successive governments and assemblies have all dropped the ball and to address the slide will be no easy feat to achieve in under 5-10 years.
The investments made by Trinidad residents make them the biggest losers with Tobago residents bearing the pressures associated with the loss of jobs and income.
