No water at Las Cuevas not good for tourism

The TDC ad is disturbing in many ways.

First, it shows that tourism will continue to be a talk shop and that we know absolutely nothing about tourism marketing.

Second, Las Cuevas is an internationally renowned Blue Flag beach. It is the only beach in TT with this designation.

This means its facilities must be kept to international standards.

What signal is this going to send when the Blue Flag marquee comes up for renewal? Third, it is my understanding that there are water tanks for the restroom facilities. Is it that the TDC is unable to get a truck-borne water supply to refill the tanks? Is WASA complicit in this non-arrangement? Fourth, where are the locals and tourists supposed to go when they need “to go?” This assumes that the beach is still open.

Why is it that we always try so hard to destroy the good things we have? I will not even bother with Maracas Beach.

I hope Hinds and Tourism Minister Shamfa Cudjoe can give us some answers.
