Hilton castrates Trinidad and Tobago sovereignty? What nonsense yall talking?

Concerning the hurricane in the snocone cup over the shifted location of the 2011 CARICOM-Cuba Summit, seems like two fundamental points are being missed:

1. Hilton Trinidad is owned by somebody/somebodies; and,
2. such body/bodies is/are not the State of Trinidad and Tobago!

One of the basic tenets of ownership is: the owner has exclusive control over who enjoys use of the owned-property.

Regarding 2. above, if you doubt me, then doubt the Ministry of Finance listing of all the local enterprises which are wholly or partly owned (and or controlled) by the government of Trinidad and Tobago, as at April 12, 2011! Trinidad Hilton is nowhere to be found!

To facilitate the readers, I've downloaded the relevant pdf report, which I'll email to you if you include your email address in the comments box and which. mind you, is posted and viewable on the Internet at http://www.finance.gov.tt/content/state-enterprise-company-portfolio.pdf!

So, I fail to understand how the local media did not check that before swallowing the bull fed to them by Mr. Ali Khan, Trinidad Hilton's General Manager:

that even though the State owns the hotel, its operations are subject to the directives of Hilton Worldwide which runs it as the manager.

(see: http://www.newsday.co.tt/politics/0,151929.html and the below screenshot)

Unless this Kamla-led government somehow managed to buy into the shareholding of Trinidad Hilton (given the candour with which it operates, I can equivocate, it has not), then Trinidad Hilton remains no different to any similar business operation: its management reserves the right to refuse admission, especially when, the last time it opened its doors to the one who wishes again to use the privately-owned facility, a part of hell broke loose, even in the midst of the tightest of security, damaging the property of other guests as they did!

As to the future though, I'd expect Trinidad Hilton won't be benefitting from the public purse anymore, for that purse we, the people, own!

A word of advice to Hilton Worldwide...before saying what Raul (pun intended) would say: "¡Punto final!"

Dear Hilton Worldwide!

You boast how your vision is:

To fill the earth with the light and warmth of hospitality.

(See: http://www.hiltonworldwide.com/about/mission/)

And how your mission is:

To be the preeminent (sic) global hospitality company - the first choice of guests, team members, and owners alike.

(See: ibid)

How come, then, in this instance, you didn't allow your core values to guide you in this thing? No doubt, had you, you would have passionately remained owners of your actions by being a leader not a follower, something which you can neither be nor sustain unless you're a team player in the whatever community you operate and unless you have the sense of urgency and discipline to do the right thing all the time?

(See screenshot below!)

Next time, do the right thing: tell Raul, "¡Bienvenido, Excellencia!" ¿Especialmente cuando todos estan preparando para La Feliz Natividad, ok?

¡Ayi! ¡Ayi!

¡Punto final!
