Environmental Planning Group & HLA Consultants 5 Barbados Tourism Master Plan 2014-2023 Report III . 1.0 Human Resource Development Summary Quality service is one of the prerequisites for making Barbados the preferred destination for leisure and business. Yet at all levels of the sector, people have generally not appreciated the link between their service and the experiences they create for an increasingly diverse mix of visitors. Changing the mindset towards service delivery is therefore one of the greatest challenges facing the development of an effective visitor economy. If indeed “people” are Barbados‟ most valuable asset, then greater importance and resources need to be placed in strengthening human resources (HR) development. The 1998 Strategy for HR Development in the Tourism Sector (ARA, 1998) identified several challenges which are as relevant today as they were 15 years ago. This strategy for the development of human resources in the sector draws on key elements outlined in the 1998 HRD Strategy, and further elaborated in the 2012 White Paper and the BHTA Tourism Competitiveness Study (PCS, 2009). These have been distilled into three major thrusts: Creating an Effective Leadership and Performance Management Culture Enhancing Education, Training and Development Building an Entrepreneurial Spirit and Maximising ICT Creating an Effective Leadership and Performance Management Culture Effective leadership of hospitality service delivery entities such as hotels, restaurants, tour companies, and tourism organizations, is critical to drive employee engagement and stimulate improvements in service quality. Attention must also be paid to reducing „silos‟ within and between institutions, and to encourage leaders and managers to operate more strategically, to adopt more effective approaches for recruiting and managing talent and performance within their respective organizations, and to implement and promote higher industry standards. Education, Training and Development A vibrant policy framework and action plan is critical to ensure that Barbadians are sensitive and responsive to the socio-cultural realities of an increasingly diverse visitor mix. Strategies for the education, training and development of our workforce include: Reducing fragmentation and increasing coordination in existing education and training programmes Expanding tourism concepts in primary and secondary schools‟ curricula Increasing practical training for persons working directly and indirectly throughout the visitor economy and sensitizing them on their role in creating positive experiences for our visitors .

Both tools and products of the British Empire, cricket and military music could be used at cross-purposes and gained meaning and ideological significance in practice. Attention to the cultural practices of the West India Regiments sheds significant light on the connections between early twentieth-century social change and the dynamics of nineteenth-century colonialism. Moreover, it opens up new – and possibly counterintuitive – connections between Caribbean military history and scholarship on the social and cultural forces that have shaped Caribbean society.

St. Nicholas Abbey, also in Barbados, is another of those three homes. Drax Hall was built by brothers William and James Drax, and it is still held by the Drax family today. The Drax Plantation was also the first plantation to cultivate sugar by c.mcbrien cane in Barbados, and it remains today a working sugar plantation. Interestingly, St. Nicholas Abbey also still produces sugar cane. Additionally, Drax Hall features gable roofs and windows, a Jacobean staircase and archway. Moreover, it is a private home and only opened to the public on special occasions. - Marsilyn Browne +1 246 433 1240 St. George, Bridgetown Tyrol Cot Heritage Village "The Leaders' Home" Built in 1854, Tyrol Cot was bought as a wedding gift by Sir Grantley Adams for his wife Grace in 1929.

  • New England Slave Trader: the Case of Charles Tyng
    NEW ENGLAND SLAVE TRADER: THE CASE OF CHARLES TYNG A Thesis presented to the Faculty of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in History by Paul Joseph Michaels June 2019 © 2019 Paul Joseph Michaels ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP TITLE: New England Slave Trader: The Case of Charles Tyng AUTHOR: Paul Joseph Michaels DATE SUBMITTED: June 2019 COMMITTEE CHAIR: Thomas R. Trice, Ph.D. Associate Professor of History COMMITTEE MEMBER: Matthew S. Hopper, Ph.D. Professor of History COMMITTEE MEMBER: Andrew D. Morris, Ph.D. Professor of History iii ABSTRACT New England Slave Trader: The Case of Charles Tyng Paul Joseph Michaels Charles Tyng has been heralded as an American hero after the posthumous publication of his memoir, Before the Wind: The Memoir of an American Sea Captain, 1808-1833, in 1999. Recent research involving British Treasury report books from the nineteenth century suggest otherwise – that Tyng actively promoted and was engaged in the illicit trade of African captives. A Boston Brahmin, Tyng applied the lessons of his time at sea with Perkins & Company, the opium trading firm, to his occupation as an agent of notorious slave trading firms in Havana. This paper uses as evidence records of the captures of several vessels that implicate Tyng directly in equipping ships for the slave trade to correct the historical record and exposing a supposed hero as a predatory capitalist ignoring ethics for financial gain. Keywords: Charles Tyng, slave trade, Havana, Cuba, West Africa Squadron, opium trade, Perkins & Company, Before the Wind iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis is a culmination of many years of school, and I would be remiss without acknowledging the many teachers who have made a positive impact on me throughout my academic career: Donna Cooksey, Marilyn Tate, Karen Shumey, Lisa Vaughn- Everett, Suzanne Nicastro and Kathi Froemming.
