South Florida works to keep tourists coming
By Doreen Hemlock | South Florida Sun-Sentinel

The outlook for South Florida tourism is anything but sunny for the next 12 months, and travel leaders are boosting their marketing efforts to avert a deep drop in a key industry.

The Palm Beach County Convention and Visitors Bureau also is getting creative with a marketing budget of about $2.7 million that is flat from last year.

The bureau is boosting Internet marketing to stretch its funds. And it is increasing research to better target ad dollars, finishing up studies into how customers perceive its "brand" and its decades-old slogan, "The Best of Everything."

The group also is working to attract international air service to lure more overseas travelers, bureau President Jorge Pesquera said.

Tourism bureaus will need to guard their budgets, as other groups eye that bed tax cash amid the economic downturn, officials say

In Broward, Grossman made clear that all but $297,000 of $9.4 million in so-called "reserves" for her group are already committed.

Aruba is too quiet right now.  It's making me crazy!

I`m alright with the quietness SS . . you know why?
Because i know there`s so much going on in this case, there`s so much work being done right now!
This is just the silence, before the storm

The Aruba cornholers do like to throw bones. They have a rich tradition dating back to Rubberlegs Trappenberg and Ichabod Cohen.

Sharon, I would think if people ain't traveling in the States they damn sure ain't gracing the hind leg of the Caribbean, formerly known as Aruba, with their presence.

Morning Dayhiker!

I would think you are correct

The article focused on Broward (Ft Lauderdale) and Palm Beach.

I found Pesquera's comment interesting -- as he is trying to bring in foreign tourism thru internatinal air service. The West Palm Beach airport has been going thru major renovation and expansion over the past 6 years (sort of from a 'hanger in the woods' to a real airport) -- which of course Pesquera had NOTHING to do with. But I doubt that will keep him from taking credit if the campaign is succesful. I will need to see how he plans to lure international travelers away from Miami and direct them to Palm Beach -- free airfare to West Palm??

But that's Broward and Palm Beach.

As I was out running errands yesterday - Oct 2 -- I was horrified to observe 'tourist like' activity already down here    You KNOW how much I love tourists.  It appears to be the start of an early tourist season 

So I guess folks are still vacationing in the states (but then again -- you don't consider Miami part of the states, do ya  )

What was this ?


04/04/2006
OM boss Antilles must testify in case officer
WILLEM CITY (Reuters) - The highest man of the Antillean Public Prosecution, Attorney General Dick Piar, should testify in the trial against former Prosecutor Cor M.. The lawyer of M. had requested.

Keywords: Justice, Antilles, officer

The 56-year-old M. except officer was also head of the Public Ministry on the Windward Islands. The Dutchman is suspected to have obtained phone records of his girlfriend and her alleged lover. That he would - in office - have committed forgery and writing false formatted documents used. On both offenses is a maximum penalty of five years in prison.

M. was arrested in December. On March 21 began the trial against him.

Piar
The judge certain Tuesday in an intermediate court ruling that the commissioner Piar both as a collaborator of the prosecutor and a prosecutor may hear. Their statements could play a role, as the trial continues on June 13.

Piar must testify about an event that M. in their own words with the Public Ministry has made. According to M. Last year was already agreed that he would not be prosecuted if he resigned his post in February 2005 would leave St. Maarten. Piar that assertion contradicted by fax, but the court is now seeking a further explanation.

M. got last year for health honorable resignation. Many fronste his eyebrows, because the man then went to work as a prosecutor at the Criminal Court in The Hague.

Sint Maarten
In September he returned to St. Maarten in order to be a lawyer. His swearing was not because a week earlier he was arrested.

The court rejected the request by the lawyer of M. to eight other witnesses to hear from. However, the provisional detention of the man lifted. That was until now only been suspended.

Dear readers of Shango,

I, Carlos Severino Tromp, wish to communicate to you that in the middle of October coming, maybe for a week I will appear in a television program in Spain and talk by satellite to the Dutch Queen on the subject of human rights and general corruption in Aruba, in the public prosecuting agency there, and how Nathalee Holloway did not receive justice by the Aruba police system. The program will also be translated in English.

With kindest personal regards,

Carlos Severino Tromp

Sometimes in the midst of my frustration over how the Dutch and Arubans have mishandled Natalee's disappearance, a few thoughts come to my mind.  Over 60 years ago, many of our relatives and many dear friends of our parents shed their blood and gave their lives on European soil so the Netherlands and the other European countries could have the freedoms that they enjoy today.  We are only asking for a just resolution in the disappearance and murder of one promising American young woman.  The Dutch officials in the Netherlands and Aruba have kicked dirt in our faces and lied to us in an attempt to prevent justice for Natalee Holloway and protect their own corrupt officials.  How quickly these individuals have forgotten the American sacrifices that were made on their behalf.  I sometimes wonder how many Holloway and Reynolds family members died and shed blood so that these corrupt officials could enjoy the positions of privilege that they enjoy today.  How many of these corrupt Dutch officials from Aruba would even be alive today had the Americans not come to the aid of their parents?  This is truly a sad realization.

Those who forget the lessons from their history are destined to repeat those lessons.  Karma will not forget.  Wake up, corrupt Dutch and Aruban officials.
