Thank you for the comments. In one short week, we have seen a lot of progress on Praslin, the seeds planted by solid team, with a clear vision to deliver is now comi through.
We thank Creole Travel and their Team headed by Mr. Joeseph Albert for attending the Fair Trading Conference, committing to work with the Praslin business community, ready to adjust where adjustments necessary. I am happy to note taxi drivers are being not into the game plan to be partners and stakeholders in Tourism Developmemt on Praslin.
Creole travel has committed to to supporting the National aheritage Trial with day trippers .
We have yet to see Mason's attend any meetings. But we look forward optimistically to their change of approach towards the Praslin Resident Business Community and look forward to cooperating with them, once Indian Ocean Lodge goes under much needed renovations.

Gill and his team is doing what SCCI could not do in years. My Personal point of view on ice PLANTS.....I wondering if it would not be less costly for tax payers rather than build ice plants to equipped fishing boats with onboard ice machine which uses sea water to produce flake ice........the advantages of having onboard ice machine using sea water are:
No need to buy .build./maintain ,repair .operate big ice plants which bring with it a high water and electricity bills........ice machine on board fishing boats would allow fishermen to produce ice when they need it and according to their catch .....but also allow them to stay longer at sea.
Tons of liters of fresh drinking water would be spared .....instead sea water would be use ......technical problems etc .would be at the cost of fishermen not government ..no need to find space to build plants ..

china is one of the biggest producer of seawater ice machines ..of all kinds ,types ,seizes from one ton above ..this could be a long term solution to ice shortage problems ...while costing tax payers hundred times less ......once again onboard ice machine using seawater would spare government from operating expensive cie plants which consume lots of drinking water and electricity .maintain .....space to build new plant ....and at the same time solve on a long term basis the ice shortage that seems to hit fishermen every two years ...of which government must come in to buy new ice plants which on the long term it would save tax payers multi million of dollars. money that could be use for other important projects ...
