Now a German travel agency has unveiled what is believed to be the world’s first nude airline It is fairly well known that a lot of Germans like getting their kit off, now there is an airline for them. An Eastern German travel agency is taking bookings for the country’s first nudist air service. Passengers can strip off on board but will have to get dressed again before getting off the plane. The flight is to be part of a summer day trip which flies from the Eastern German city of Erfurt to a popular Baltic Sea resort - Source
It seems to us that Barbados should be on the look out for marketing strategies to boost tourist arrivals. This may become a worry for the tourism officials in Barbados if the touted US recession drags other markets like Canada and UK with it. On the surface the idea may seem outlandish but the reality for Barbados and many of the islands of the Caribbean is that the tried and trusted marketing approaches are yesterdays news.

If, instead of waiting till they were on board, they all got naked before going through the security check, it would be a lot more efficient and speed up the boarding process.

This is just another step in a most unwholesome trend of airline flights being hazardous to one’s health. Some things are better left unseen…

The people sit on towels in the plane. Sitting on fresh towels is cleaner then sitting in pants that no one knows how long they have been worn.
You are so right about looking for new marketing ideas. The Grand Lido’s in Jamaica have nude beaches and are very popular, Club Orient is St Martin is a nudist resort and is very popular, and here in the US my resort, The Terra Cotta Inn is a clothing optional resort and is very popular.
If you want to attract more tourists, you have to deliver what they want. You are so right in thinking you need to re-think the tourism marketing of your island.
Good luck.

Well well, I must say.
Do we really want to lower our moral standards for money?
What’s next? Sex tourism? gay nude hikes through the countryside?

I have long felt that in the interest of security and efficiency that ALL air travel should be nude. The staff would hand you a nice clean towel (or a large sheet for the excessively modest) on boarding and you would drop it in a basket on disembarking. They would be laundered and recycled just like hospital and hotel linens. No more uncomfortable pat-downs by complete strangers, because you have anywhere to hide anything.

But no nude hiking. There is cow-itch in the bush, and nettles, and “hug-me-close”, and ants and mosquitoes. All people in the bush must be fully clothed.
No, “hug-me-close” is not a lover, it is the seed of a bush which clings completely close to you.

The thought of sitting next to a bunch of great fat naked Herrs and Fraus is enough to the average person off flying forever
