Bryan, you misunderstand me. My beef is that if only 300 formal sector jobs are being created in the tourism sector from an operation that moves tens of 1,000s of people through a location a year, something is seriously amiss.
C'mon now. I'm not an idiot. I'm in no way saying that RC shouldn't be there. I know there are no jobs in Cap and the employees are probably paid reasonably well. I'm psyched that RC are there. I just think they get more credit than they deserve given the impact that they've had on the local community.
Also as a business operating in the climate where social responsibility is becoming more and more important, I think they are seriously failing to capitalize on an opportunity to do a LARGE amount of good.
