Spin-Off

Juan Francisco Beccera, the tourism minister for The Canary Islands has just announced a huge rise in inquiries by European Companies, relating to Conference and Convention facilities in the Islands. He was proud to announce that over 20 World Class facilities of this type have been completed on the islands in the last 5 years.

The vast majority of the inquiries came from Major Companies who are unwilling to subject their delegates to the time consuming and faintly ridiculous procedures that are coming into force in the USA.

Interestingly enough, most of these conventions would normally have taken place in Florida due to its year round fair climate, so the state that was ultimately responsible for the dubious election of the illustrious Mr Bush, will be the first to suffer.

Poetic justice perchance ??
