‘Fix the ferries!’ – Caller on PEP Radio
This was the view of one caller who called into the People’s Empowerment Party (PEP) radio show aired on Monday night November 24, 2014 on ZBVI 780 AM.
“The thing is, I am an entertainer out there and I interact with these guests. I have tourists that come for the first time and are upset because when they get to St Thomas they could not get to Tortola and that was not where they wanted to be,” said a caller to the show.
“We have three ferry services in Tortola and not one of them is running proper,” he said.
He said that in St Thomas the authorities there are doing everything they could to keep tourists there and as such, the Virgin Islands must step up the pace and do what must be done to compete.
“We just cannot sit down and say we can’t do this and we can’t do that. We have to do what everybody else is doing to keep up with the competition or else we will always be behind,” the caller said.
In response to the caller, President of PEP Natalio D. Wheatley aka Sowande Uhuru was in agreement, saying it was a matter of coordination and prioritizing.
“Fix the ferry service, make sure that you have ferries running so that when the plane land that you have connecting ferry service to the Virgin Islands. It is not so difficult a concept. It is just a matter of priority,” Wheatley said.
