Gilbert est l’un de ses passionnés, pour qui la vie s’arrête à chaque Tour des yoles. Ce dimanche au Vauclin, le Schœlchérois de 63 ans avait installé un véritable campement pour suivre le départ et l’arrivée de la yole UFR)/Chanflor qu’il soutient “depuis toujours”. Il compte bien être présent à chaque étape, n’hésitant pas, pour la peine, à se glisser dans la peau d’un campeur averti.
De ce Tour de Martinique, Gilbert n’en perdra pas une miette. En fin de matinée ce dimanche au Vauclin, nous trouvons le sexagénaire installé à l’extrémité de la plage du bourg, lieu de départ et d’arrivée du prologue. Une place de choix pour observer les yoles mais qui a toutefois nécessité une organisation au préalable. “Je suis arrivé hier soir, car il fermait les routes très tôt avant la course. J’ai installé le camp à 3 heures du matin”, raconte Gilbert, qui a passé la…

Vauclin
Un vibrant hommage a été rendu récemment, au musicien disparu Barrel Coppet. La municipalité et la CTM ont choisi qu’un espace situé à proximité de l’hôtel de ville, dans le jardin public, porte désormais le nom du célèbre clarinettiste, originaire du Vauclin.
Barrel Coppet de son vrai nom Anatole Coppet, a tiré sa révérence en octobre 2009, il avait 89 ans. Né au Vauclin, ce musicien hors pair a marqué son époque, rien ne pourrait justifier qu’il soit oublié. De son vivant, la municipalité du Vauclin avait inauguré une rue portant son nom, ainsi que celui de son frère Honoré. Barrel Coppet avait laissé couler une petite larme ce jour-là, il ne pensait pas, disait-il, que sa commune natale allait lui rendre un tel hommage, « en plus…

President of the Airports Authority of Jamaica (AAJ), Audley Deidrick, says Jamaica’s airport traffic is set to hit five million passengers by the end of this year, given the rapid drive phase of the recovery of the island’s travel and tourism industry from the COVID-19 pandemic.
While speaking recently at an MBJ Airports Limited-hosted forum to provide an update on the airport’s initiatives and other projects aimed at recovery, Deidrick said when the pandemic hit, aviation traffic fell to almost zero in June 2020.
On July 15 of that year, the Government reopened the national borders to aviation traffic on a phased basis.
Deidrick said despite the resumption of incoming passenger traffic, the best forecast for aviation recovery was set at five to six years.
However, he said Jamaica’s recovery has far exceeded expectations, with 2021 seeing some 3.4 million passengers arriving.
“This current year, 2022, has shown the sharpest climb on the recovery curve, and hence my characterising this year as the rapid drive phase of the recovery process,” he said.
“From a sluggish start in the first quarter of 2020, our aviation traffic driven as usual by tourism traffic, which represents over 80 per cent, has taken on a rapid growth such that for the month of May and June (this year), the traffic for MBJ (Montego Bay) has equalled that of the corresponding months of 2019,” Diedrick outlined.
Based on the sharp uptick in passenger arrivals, he remains cautiously optimistic that Jamaica’s aviation traffic will fully recover three years earlier than expected.
“Based on this aggressive rate of growth of 2022, the current forecast is for Jamaica’s aviation traffic to hit five million passengers or 77 per cent of the 2019 level by December 2022,” Diedrick indicated.
“Furthermore, given the forecast for 2022, it is now expected that Jamaica’s aviation traffic will hit the 2019 level of 6.5 million passengers by December 2023. This is instead of the forecasted timeline of 2025-2026 – all of three years earlier,” stated the AAJ president.
