Tourism & Business
The Nixonian like tricks that the UBP use are vast, varied and all lies. One of the BIG lies that they peddle is the one where they try and nitpick about biz travelers and "pleasure" travelers. Right off the bat, as far as the economy in Bda goes - it doesn't really matter if a person on a biz trip or a pleasure trip spends money in bda. It all puts the same people to work.
The UBP spinners would like you to think that this is actually a bad thing by falsely fabricating that a problem exist if some of the people spending money to fly/cruise to, to stay in and to eat in Bda are here on biz rather than on a honeymoon. They actually diss Dr. Brown for increasing the number of biz travelers to Bda.
Stats tell us that NYC is one of the main tourists destinations in the world - below is an excerpt from the highly respected newspaper of Tufts University talking about how NYC is rebuilding it's tourist industry:
and get this - by focusing on the biz traveler (hmm, sounds like Dr, Brown's strategy) - and the man spearheading this approach in NYC is being applauded for this effort -
so? why are teh UBP dissing dr. brown for taking the same approach here i wonder - i'm sure NYC knows something about attracting tourists dollars:
Take a read and see how NYC (tourist mecca) not only makes little distinction btw the biz traveler but seems to be targetting the biz traveler above all else - now granted Bda's set up re; tourism and brand is different than NYC - but I think that Dr. Brown is on to something - yet the YBP clown brigade is trying to hold Bda back yet again.
Rebuilding NYC's Tourism Industry
The job of bringing visitors back to NYC now lies on the shoulders of Tufts graduate Jonathan Tisch - the new head of the city's tourism agency.
excerpt:
"...those connections may prove particularly important as Tisch attempts to achieve his second goal - the expansion of New York's convention center. (biz related tourism)
"Right now, it doesn't even rank among the 10 largest exhibit halls in the nation," reported Newsday. "The hope is that a bigger hall will attract bigger conventions, thereby filling city hotels, restaurants and shops."
