\"\"The Dominica Hotel and Tourism Association (DHTA) has expressed deep concern about the actions that transpired on the evening of Monday, November 18th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

“We recognize that it is citizens\u2019 right to protest but encourage persons to do so peacefully and within the rule of law,” the DHTA stated in a release issued today.<\/p>\n

The release goes on to state, “During this heightened political environment, we advocate for all parties involved, including the Government of Dominica, Law Enforcement, representatives of political organizations and the citizenry to dialogue on a way forward to solve the impasse which is clearly contributing to the current situation.”<\/p>\n

The DHTA is also appealing to both political entities and private citizens to err on the side of reason and to refrain from taking actions that will further affect private sector livelihoods and Dominicans by extension.<\/p>\n

The Association noted that the effects and impact of Maria are still being felt by the private sector and called for reason to prevail “among all persons and entities involved.”<\/p>\n

“We pray for peace and violence-free elections as Dominicans prepare to exercise their franchise in the coming elections,” the release concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Dominica Hotel and Tourism Association (DHTA) has expressed deep concern about the actions that transpired on the evening of Monday, November 18th. “We recognize that it is citizens\u2019 right to protest but encourage persons to do so peacefully and…","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":233735,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","footnotes":""},"categories":[11,235,9,12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-239982","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general","category-homepage-carousel","category-news","category-politics"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nDHTA calls for dialogue between concerned parties to solve electoral reform impasse -
