Tourism threat

Customs and Immigration at the Grantley Adams International Airport have come in for criticism from executive chairman of the Four Seasons project, Avinash Persaud.
He described a recent arrival experience as a “struggle” and “getting a sense of people who don’t really want me to be there somehow, and trying to find reasons for me not to be there”.
Persaud suggested this was characteristic of “the average welcome” in a Caribbean airport.
And he warned that complacency could be the death knell of Caribbean tourism which he believed was headed in the same direction as the region’s failed sugar industry. (GC)
