Cruise ship season starts.....Posted by monja in cruise ship tourism |
Tourism in Grenada is a major industry, and the tourist dollars are very
important to our island. Like the government slogan says "tourism is
everyone's business".
Every couple of days we have at least one cruise ship in port and sometimes up to three.
We have noticed a few quirks, over the years..you tend to, if you go people watching.....
For instance, Moni worked for a couple years as a rainforest hiking guide for the german cuise ships, and was always amazed how some tourists came dressed to go hiking.
I mean really!! High heels, fully made up, wrong type of clothing. You would think that they don't expect to get muddy and sweaty, much less soaked by a passing shower of rain, especially as the tours started in the rainy season. After doing this for so many years, her biggest wish was to get a t-shirt which said 'I am not a tourist'!...
