Chairman of the Private Sector Commission (PSC) Ramesh Dookhoo,Mario Osuna Mexico Jersey, says that he is urgently trying toRobert Badal, Owner of the Guyana Pegasusmake arrangements for a private engagement with substantive owner of the Guyana Pegasus, Robert Badal and the Minister with responsibility for Tourism, Irfaan Ali.The Minister is currently in New York attending the Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO) Caribbean Week event in New York. Badal has complained that he is being sidelined despite being a key player in Guyana’s tourism industry.According to Dookhoo he will be looking to have the meeting held privately and seek to mend what appears to be a breach of good faith in the parties involved.This publication understands that the break-down in communication can be traced to the local Tourism Association which was informed and would have in turn made the necessary logistical arrangements for the Guyanese delegation to travel to the US with the Minister for the Conference.Dookhoo said that Badal is not a member of the Tourism and Hospitality Association of Guyana and that the invitation went to the association.Badal and the Pegasus were reportedly never informed and the hotelier has since taken umbrage to the Government’s position and has called it a deliberate move to sideline him and his business.In a strongly worded missive to the media, Badal had charged that the fiasco was but a continuation of the policies of former President Bharrat Jagdeo and called on the current Head of State, Donald Ramotar to intervene.“I was hopeful that following the 2011 election,Martin Campana Uruguay Jersey, the new Donald Ramotar administration would ensure a better investment climate for the hospitality industry,Maxi Pereira Uruguay Jersey, removal of discrimination and a level playing field for all.Chairman of the Private Sector Commission, Ramesh Dookhoo during a recent engagement with Head of State Donald Ramotar“So far it would seem that Jagdeo’s policy of business frustration,Abel Hernandez Uruguay Jersey, discrimination and abuse of office and taxpayers resources is going to continue,Christoffer Nyman Sweden Jersey,” Badal said in a statement to the media.Badal said that the Pegasus Hotel was excluded from a delegation to this week’s Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO) Caribbean Week event in New York. He added that the hotel was not invited to the Sustainable Development Conference held at the Princess Hotel from April 15 to April 18,Martin Silva Uruguay Jersey, 2012.The businessman said that despite the fact that Pegasus is the local market leader in the hotel industry,Custom Mexico Jersey, the hotel has received no communication from Minister Ali since his appointment to the Tourism Ministry.According to Badal,Eduardo Herrera Mexico Jersey, the Minister must be reminded that he is paid from, and is spending taxpayers’ resources,Juan Carlos Valenzuela Mexico Jersey, not his own, and therefore has a duty to all players in the local industry to represent their interest without any discrimination.Efforts to contact the Minister via his mobile number proved futile as the person answering the call had informed this publication that Ali had misplaced his phone and that she was still attempting to ascertain where he could be found.Minister with responsibility for Tourism, Irfaan Ali
