Parlamentario Arthur Dowers

ORANJESTAD (AAN): Parlamentario pa fraccion di AVP, Arthur Dowers, a mustra cu studiantenan di Aruba, ta sinti nan mes perdi na Hulanda pa falta di atencion adecuado di principalmente Minister Plenipotenciario Wilfrede Besaril y di Gabinete Wever Croes I y II pa atende cu nan interesnan.

“Despues di tanto aña di trabao, inversion y desaroyo tecnologico awe nos mester yega na e tristo conclusion cu awe nos studiantenan ta hopi mas mal informa y mal prepara pa nan estudio na Hulanda.

E Ombudsman Hulandes a haci un  investigacion bao studiantenan di e islanan di Caribe Hulandes caminda entre otro el a  yega na cierto conclusionnan manera cu ta berdad cu bida na Hulanda ta bira mas complica y tin biaha hasta hopi menos cordial.

Automatisacion hopi biaha ta kita e contacto humano directo cu e pueblo Hulandes,  pues no ta solamente e studiante ta keha pero hopi ta esunnan di edad halto tambe cu tin problema cu e cambionan den sociedad.

Arubahuis mester ta consciente di e desaroyonan aki y tin e responsabilidad pa prepara nos studiantenan pa nan por tin exito ora nan bin establece nan mes y studia na Hulanda.

Mientras ex Minister Plenipotenciario Wilfred Besaril a fiesta 5 aña bao responsabilidad di EWC, a plunder Arubahuis y awe e conclusion ta, cu  nos studiantenan ta mas mal para cu tawata e caso prome gabinete Wever Croes a bin na poder.

Berguensa cu awe ta bisa e studiante Arubiano pa no bay Hulanda mes pasobra Besaril a drumi y fiesta na luga di traha pa pueblo y principalmente studiantenan di Aruba.

Den tempo cu mi persona a asumi responsabilidad pa huur cantidad di camber pa studiantenan Arubiano ta sigura di un luga, pa  ora nan yega Hulanda nan no cay den bashi.

Awor aki ta resulta cu Besaril a huur cas pa su mes pero pa studiante nada mes e no a yuda of a percura pa drecha esaki durante di su periodo como Minister Plenipotenciario y por conclui cu pa  5 aña  caba, MEP tin nos studiantenan  mas leu for di cas.

Awor cu tin reunion di IPKO na Hulanda, ta bolbe resalta e hecho lamentabel cu en realidad nada a ser regla pa studiantenan for di Aruba y cu na e momentonan aki tampoco tin algo ta ser haci pa sirbi nan interes.

Studiantenan Arubiano a mira nan situacion empeora den ultimo cuater aña y mey, ya cu en realidad mescos cu ta e caso na Aruba, gabinete Wever Croes ta carece di un vision pa atende interes di nos hendenan di Aruba.

Awor supuestamente tin un Minister Plenipotenciario suplente den  persona di Ady Thijsen pero tampoco por mira cu el a trece un vision nobo, loke ta nifica politicamente cu gabinete Wever Croes no tin solucion na man pa yuda nos studiantenan na Hulanda,” Parlamentario Arthur Dowers a declara.

Den Dia Internacional di Turismo:

ORANJESTAD (AAN) – Awe, diamars 17 di September, ta Dia Internacional di Turismo y na mayoria pais rond mundo, e dia aki ta wordo celebra, como cu e ta un di e fuentenan di entrada mas importante pa e economia mundial, ademas cu e ta ofrece un mercado laboral hopi amplio y diverso, pa cantidad di famianan na henter mundo.

Tin un articulo skirbi na aña 2011, pa un investigador riba e desaroyo di turismo, yama Edwin Andres Rodriguez Pulgarin, cu a realiza un estudio extenso cu ta data desde e Edad Antiguo te cu Edad Moderno, y logicamente e turismo a desaroya drasticamente den nos Epoca Contemporaneo te awe.

   Desaroyo: Rodriguez Pulgarin ta splica cu turismo como tal, a nace den siglo XIX, como consecuencia di e Revolucion Industrial, cu desplazamento humano cu e intencion principal tabata e ocio, descanso, cultura, salud, negoshi of relacionnan familiar.

E movecionnan aki a caracteriza nan mes pa nan finalidad di otro tiponan di viahe motiva door di guera, desplazamento migratorio, conkista, comercio, entre otro. No obstante, e evolucion di turismo tin antecedentenan historico basta cla.

    Edad antiguo: Na Grecia clasico nan tabata duna hopi importancia na e ocio y e tempo liber tabata wordo dedica na cultura, diversion, religion y deporte. E desplazamentonan mas destaca tabata esnan cu tabata wordo realiza cu motibo di asisti na e Weganan Olimpico di Edad Antiguo, den e ciudad di Olimpia, cu miles di hende tabata bishita y na unda tabata mezcla religion y deporte. Tambe tabata existi peregrinacionnan religioso, manera esnan dirigi na e oraculonan di Delfos y Doloma.

    Edad medio: Durante Edad Medio a surgi, na cuminzamento, un retroceso debi na e mayor conflictividad y recesion economico consiguiente. Den e epoca aki tambe a surgi un tipo di viahe nobo: e peregrinacionnan religioso. Esakinan ya caba a existi den e epoca antiguo y clasico pero tanto e Cristianismo como e Islam tabata extende nan na un mayor cantidad di creyente y e desplazamentonan a bira mas grandi.

   Tabata famoso e expedicionnan for di Venecia pa Tera Santo y e peregrinacionnan door di e Caminda di Santiago (for di 814 cu a descubri e graf di e santo). E peregrinacionnan a bira continuo na henter Europa, y nan a traha mapa, meson, y tur tipo di servicio pa e caminantenan.  Den e mundo Islamic e Hajiad of peregrinacion na e Mecca, ta un di e cinco pilarnan di Islam cu ta obliga e creyentenan na e peregrinacion aki, alomenos un bez den nan bida.

   Edad moderno: E peregrinacionnan a continua durante Edad Moderno. Na Roma a muri 1500 peregrino door di e Pest Bubonic. Tabata na e momento aki cu e prome alohamiento bao nomber di hotel, a aparece. Esaki ta un palabra Frances cu cual a designa e palacionan urbano. 

   Como cu e personalidadnan grandi tabata viaha acompaña di nan comitiva, cual tabata crece hopi, di manera cu a bira imposible pa aloha nan tur den un palacio, y pesey a crea e construccionnan cu nomber di hotel.

   Esaki ta tambe e epoca di e expedicionnan maritimo grandi, door di gruponan di spaño, britanico y portugues, cu a desperta e curiosidad y interes pa viaha.

TOBAGO Chamber of Industry and Commerce president Diane Hadad has described as “neutral” her feeling about the government’s decision to increase fares on the sea and airbridge, effective January 1, 2023.Delivering the 2022-2023 fiscal package in the Parliament on Monday, Finance Minister Colm Imbert announced a $50 increase in airfare (one way) for passengers travelling between Trinidad and Tobago. The fare is currently $150. Standard fares on the sea bridge also have been increased from $50 to $75 (one way) while those in premium class have moved from $100 to $150. People above age 60 who currently travel for free on the ferries will now have to pay $25.

Hadad said she has always felt  the $50 fare on the seabridge was too low.

“And I agree with the 60-and-over people now having to pay.

“But I don’t know why they are still paying only $25. That should have never been done. They need to be paying the fare. I don’t understand what is that concession about. I never did,” she told Newsday.

Noting that airfare has gone from $150 to $200, Hadad wondered if the increase will result in greater efficiency.

“I would like to know what we would be getting differently for that. Is it that we are going to have constant on-time flights? Is it that the airline is going to be operating at full and more capacity so that the island can benefit from it? Or is it just a punitive measure because nothing has changed from the Tobago side?”

Hadad said if the increase in airfare is being regarded as a measure to ensure greater efficiency and consistency, then it is likely that many people may choose to vacation in Tobago as opposed to travelling overseas.

But she said the decision to increase the fares, particularly on the seabridge, could bring hardship for Tobagonians who do business in Trinidad fairly regularly.

“There is still the element of the Tobagonian feeling the brunt of that having to come for goods and services on the island of Trinidad. That, to me, clearly would be for the people on the island to decide how much of that are they going to tolerate in terms of what is our administration going to say about that.”

Hadad said the budget was a rehash of things she had grown accustomed to hearing.

“He (Imbert) said so much to say so little. The budget is the same: cut-and-paste, report and repeat.”

For example, she noted $300 million has again been allocated for development initiatives, $18 million for URP and $9.2 million for CEPEP.

“So the more things change, the more that remain the same.”

Hadad also observed that Imbert accused the Opposition of hindering the passage of the ‘autonomy’ bills.

“There was blame on the Opposition for the bill not passing to give Tobago more autonomy. That is just an excuse. But the bill was not in its right form to allow for any proper management.”
