Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>The lawmaker for Janjanbureh, Omar Jatto Jammeh has sharply criticized the proposed $100M Radisson Blu Hotel as \u201ca total mess for the country.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cAn international brand intended for the just-concluded OIC, the so-called $100M intended Radisson Blu Hotel launched by President Adama Barrow has resulted in a mess and missed opportunities to develop our tourism infrastructure and create employment claimed to be the largest tourism investment by the government,\u201d NAM Jammeh told in an interview.<\/p>\n

According to Mr. Jammeh, the said fund could have created lot of positive impacts in addressing the high rate of unemployment gap among the youthful population.<\/p>\n

He explained: \u201cThe project could have created 400 standard rooms and 60 presidential villas among other facilities to accommodate guests coming for the OIC only to turn out that Senegal happened to host the dignitaries due to lack of high hotel standards.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jammeh, who is a member of the assembly\u2019s Tourism, Arts, and Culture Committee, asserted that the economic gains, skill transfer were also a missing opportunity, while querying for the need of a new hotel when the money could have been invested in existing hotels to improve qualities and required standards.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe proposed design and idea could have given over 3000 jobs, but again, all those ceremonies and launch of Radisson Hotel have gone in the air for now, but I don\u2019t think that is the end of the story,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

According to him, the reason behind the failure of Radisson Hotel is mainly due to misplaced priorities by the government as they have the option to build on the already-existing hotels like: Sheraton, Kombo Beach, and Senegambia hotels among others.<\/p>\n

The Janjanbureh NAM further stated that another factor that led to the failure of the hotel was that the government failed to scrutinise the so-called self-claimed investors.<\/p>\n

\u201cSenegal hosting the dignitaries indicates the gains for them economically. Also, it creates employment for their citizens. Over millions of dalasi might have been wasted that could be reinvested in youth and women\u2019s development, especially in the industry sector,\u201d NAM argued.<\/p>\n
