Cat, it is easy to disparage 300 jobs when one is employed already and eating three meals a day. Find me one other business (not a government ministry that does the same.) The difficulty involved is a measure of how weak the private sector is in Haiti. I would love for more people to benefit from the tourist traffic - but you and I both know it would be chaos if people could come and go as they pleased. Have you been to the Citadel lately? I know people who've backed their cars up and left because dozens of people were banging on their windows wanting to be their guides. I can't blame them - Haitians like anyone else want to work. But at the end of the day, would Labadee be better served if RC didn't dock? I dont think it would be. My suggestions to readers are that if they agree with their corporate philosophy, let RC know. If you don't, let them know that as well. But do homework first.
