Have we forgotten that for over twenty years, Dominica enjoyed cruise ship arrival throughout the years,the tourism industry was vibrant.Buses were selling, vendors and tour guides were making money,farmers were selling,the banks were very liquid, hotels and restaurants were busy and the county was buzzing with economic activity.But alas in the past three years under this incompetent labour government we are celebrating the end of the tourist season in May. This is progress Dominica syle. We like it so
Let me join, and say thanks to all mentioned, some times all it takes to make a person`s Day is to say thank you!!!!Simple!
