FALMOUTH, Trelawny – Opposition Leader Bruce Golding on Monday recommended that govern-ment clean up the island’s resort areas for the enhancement of the tourism product.

“.I know I am going to offend some people when I say this, but you see all this excitement going on. about nicing up the place for cricket. the number of persons who are expected to arrive here for cricket is what arrive here every three days for tourism, every three days.

“So, therefore, all this madness and all this running up and down and finding money where money could not be found before the six weeks of cricket excitement, we must bear in mind that we have visitors,” Golding told the SuperClubs long service awards ceremony at the Starfish Resort, located near the Trelawny Stadium, which was built specially for the Cricket World Cup tournament.

“In keeping with our Jamaican culture in nicing up the place when visitors are coming to the yard, if that is what drives us, we must bear in mind that we have visitors coming here every striking week. And therefore the place must be spruced up if the place must be niced up, and let us nice up the place and let us do it in a way to contribute to the efforts to increase the flow of tourist arrivals,” the Opposition leader said.

Golding, at the same time, recommended the construction of new attractions and “expanding the reach” as other ways of enhancing the tourism product.
