'Butch' backs Issa on cruise ship tax stance

JamaicaObserver.com: "THE Caribbean's leading hotelier, Gordon 'Butch' Stewart, yesterday lashed cruise ships for not paying a US$2 head tax introduced in November 2006, and the previous administration for not insisting on its collection.

Stewart accused then tourism minister, Aloun Assamba, of going back on her word 'in the worst possible way' by first agreeing to set the cruise tax at US$10, but asking only US$2 of the cruise ships, while the land-based hoteliers had to pay the US$10 per head."
