however, come every major holiday, the greedy hyenas called beach hotels start charging supplements: Easter, Christmas, blah blah. While the mzungu stays for $20 a night.
Let them die, they deserve it!
Had gone there sometimes last year and while some hotels were very rigid, other were quite flexible on pricing and packages for the locals. I think the idea of staying in a hotel the whole day isn't my cup of tea.There are other exciting activities like snorkling etc. Anyways, like any other business or living being it's either innovate or die, survival for the fittest.
I don't understand why we have a tourism marketing body while we have envoys in different countries. Uhuru should give them targets to attract tourist numbers or go home.
