Turks and Caicos, March 29, 2017 – Providenciales – A survey is launched now at the government’s website by the PDM Administration in its pursuit of information and as a means of consultation it says on reinstating the 100% service charge to tourism industry workers.
Doug Parnell, out of the Office of the Premier says this is far more than any PNP Administration has ever done to remedy the row about who should get this money which is currently split 60-40, with the least of the tax on guests going to hospitality workers.
In a media release last night, Parnell confirmed our report that the Tourism Minister has put the Hotel and Tourism Association on notice about the passage of a service charge bill to provide 100 percent of the revenue into the pockets of workers. The PDM Chairman said PNP Appointed Member, Royal Robinson ‘dusted off an old bill’ and accused Robinson of playing gutter politics.
Parnell said: “The name calling by PNP higher ups is regrettable and unbecoming of Parliamentarians but this now seems to be par for the course. hhh Royal and his gang of empty canisters should focus on supporting the initiatives of the Government to get the survey complete so that TCIG can properly enact a law that captures the fair share of service charge.”
Cheshire Hall Member, Parnell advised the PNP to stop ‘fronting and stunting.’ Magnetic Media today visited the government’s website to see the contents of that survey; if it is there, it is not easy to find.
We have informed Hon Doug Parnell of the fact… you can go to MagneticMediaTV.com for the full statement from the PDM Chairman.
