Save Pirates Week

Target: Uniting ALL Cayman and friends of, in the fight to save a part of our National Heritage
Region: Cayman Islands
Petition Background (Preamble):
Recently, the new Leader of Government Business in the Cayman Islands has stated he will rename Pirates Week and convert to Heritage Week.
Pirates Week has helped to promote Tourism in Cayman for the past thirty-three years. As a result of the global recession we have seen a decline in the number of visitors to the Cayman Islands, a renaming of this event will drastically reduce stay over visitors and hurt small businesses.
Additionally, we do not believe the Pirates Week festivities contribute to violent crime among our youth.
