World Cup inhospitality

President of the Caribbean Hotel Association (CHA), Berthia Parle has raised concerns that some of the regional resorts are grossly overstating the number of visitors expected during the World Cup, writes Horace Hines in The Jamaica Observer

"I don't think that everybody is going to get that. Certainly the semi-finals will be great as well as the finals, but I don't believe that everybody is going to see these kinds of numbers - not from overseas. You need to look at the Caribbean people as well. I think you are talking 40,000- 50,000 people maximum for everybody."
