“We believe the Government is doing a really poor job of managing the tourism sector given the restructuring of the various tourism entities of Government-owned and managed state owned enterprises now together, along with some of the other projects legislated to come online, many of which have been stalled.
“Some have been badly handled, particularly the Hyatt project and the acquisition of lands. You don’t go about a project like that where Government goes and acquires private lands ostensively and then leases those lands for another private hotel,” he charged. (RA)
