As if we didn't have enough to worry about in the Caribbean, the UK is hurting our fragile tourism plants with a totally uncaring tax. When I hear some people speak about getting Europe to consider reparations I don't actually agree with them, but to be honest I do feel that we here in the Caribbean (black, white, or other...) have been left in a very bad situation by the former colonists. Very little in the way of resources and no proper educational framework have left us vulnerable to all sorts of threats and internal problems. Tourism is all we have to ply, and if the UK damages it with this tax then I don't know what we will end up with. This great documentary shows what it is about. If you are coming on holiday from the UK then you should have a look. Appeal to your political leaders that they need to change this thing.
This is a blog set up by Eli Fuller (me) to help keep readers informed and to promote our little country to prospective guests. It's also to make sure that new info about our island is passed on quickly and also to receive feedback on this info. Of course most of the things i write about have themes of ecology and usually have quite a bit to do with my company Adventure Antigua. Make comments anytime you want, but check the site above to book your adventure.
