Martin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Local hotelier Atherton Martin says stakeholders in the tourism sector will feel the brunt this year especially during the off season.<\/p>\n

The 2010\/2011 cruise ship season which ended here last month has been described as encouraging despite the pull out of carnival victory.<\/p>\n

But Martin says hundreds of individuals in the tourism sector will be without jobs.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the next six months there will be no cruise ship in the island so the bus drivers who have made their investments will be on the bread line. Small hotels and businesses of all kind in Dominica are facing all kinds of pressure and all of that is going on while people are being told by the leadership of the country that everything is alright,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He says government should have used the lead-up to the off season to attract Caribbean travelers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to say to Caribbean people that they need to take a nature vacation in Dominica. It is necessary for us to take a hard look at what is happening to now,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Local hotelier Atherton Martin says stakeholders in the tourism sector will feel the brunt this year especially during the off season.
