He may be qualified and have good intentions, but that doesn't mean the politicians they have to answer to have the same qualities.

- Tobago is still a ward of Trinidad. They are not allocated enough and THA politicians squander or take the money.
- The seabridge has collapsed.
- The airbridge is lacking.
- Out budget allocation for tourism is lacking.
- Tobago does try but our allocation and attention to our local and cultural heritage to market to foreigners is abysmal.
- THA is afraid of foreign investment and foreigners buying their lands.
- Countries such as the US and the UK issued warnings about our crime rate and links to ISIS and unfortunately Tobago wrap up in that.
- Rowley is a mouthpiece for Sandals which by itself is a turnoff and not suppose to be done in the first place. Sandals is not the problem but the process. Any competitive bidding by any other local or international hoteliers for the lands resulting in Tobago benefiting from the deal?
Better you go Miami and chill.
Also, instead of simply restructuring the TDC with a fresh mandate, you shut it down, send home workers and then create three new entities where one of them is the Tobago Tourism Agency?

It really simple inno.
Airlist. Get more international flights to Tobago directly.
Infrastructure. It's not there financially. They need to compete internationally. In yet to see Tobago properly advertised internationally on all levels, especially digital. Not guest houses that advertise. I'm taking Country Brand advertising. Tobago Jazz? No one cares about trini's coming to Tobago to spend TTD.. Markert internationally and get that USD in.
The African American tourist spending dollar is actually trending UP.. That's a market to tap into.
Real simple basics to flesh out.
