with respect to the Moana et al much different ownership and philosophy. Laylow is owned by an American company in Ten I think made up of equity capital.

Not disputing that complaints if there are sufficient and based on real issues don't get attention, just saying that if one looks across the board at reflags in the past five years or so in the islands and they look at the makeup of ownership, it is an issue

Be interesting to see what Oyo does when they move into the US market, whom will they buy.
