CARICOM news reall up set me today. - 03/25/09 03:44 AM
Today I read an article in CARICOM news that almost made me puke. I have wondered for a long time why it cost so much more to fly to Belize than to other CA countries. It seems that there is currently a "SUBSIDY WAR" going on between Central American countries and the Island Nations in an attempt to keep the airlines flying to their cities. The article said Jamica planned to spend $4.5m US, in 2009, to subsidize American Airlines to continue flying to their island. Yuk/Gag/Vomit. SUBSIDIZE the Airlines??? Crap!!!, subsidize the TOURIST with a travel voucher for his return trip to the island and make the airlines COMPETE for them. The tourist will return and spend another $2k/week "each".
Good Idea? Bad Idea?
