There are plenty of them, they are here for tax reasons. They may only have a staff of two people, if that, but they are technically here. If we proceed with this tax, they'll simply leave and find a country with more attractive tax rates. This sounds like a great plan on paper, but will result in a net loss for the country.
How is it that they are even permitted to operate their existing property, while they use the public park as a staff parking lot? They, (along with Sandals) should be forced to cease operations until their staff vacate the public lots.
You have completely and utterly missed the point. There are murders. There are lots of murders. There are rapes, there are lots of rapes. There are robberies, there are lots of robberies.
If we as a nation don't want a reputation of being an unsafe place to travel, maybe we should be trying to make it a safe place?
Shouting from the rooftops that everything is fine, nothing to see here, isn't going to work, and hasn't worked for the past few decades.
A marketing campaign? Seriously? This is how they want to fix the crime problem? Sweep it under the rug and pretend like it isn't happening? Isn't that how we got in this mess in the first place?
Decades of piss poor governance and the chickens are finally coming home to roost. Absolutely no one can make the claim that they didn't see this coming. They sat around (on airplanes, in hotel rooms, and in the backseats of luxury cars) for years and years, doing nothing more than providing short quotes to the news outlets about how they plan to tackle crime (and education, and corruption, and red tape), but instead continued their hedonistic lifestyles sucking on the public teat. Now suddenly the golden goose has collapsed, a tired, featherless barely breathing sad shell of it's former shelf, and they're left to wonder if maybe they should have eaten less caviar, or shown up for work more than once a month.
