This is the beginning of the end for this whole Bahamar deal. Bahamians have been shafted again by this greedy corrupt administration. Until we Bahamians start to empower ourselves through entrepreneurship, education and hard work we will always be going back and forth with these so called anchor projects that only benefit a few while the rest provide cheap labour.

Well this crew smiling all the way to the bank. Now they don't have to worry about the corruption coming out in open court

His joy may be solely based in the fact that HE and ALLYSON can get their money back. Not even caring whether Bahamar succeeds or not...we shall see, if they're first in the line if creditors then their goal will be clear

Now what Mr. Pm???? What is your plan for the workers at Bahamar.pray tell us please.2500 people that no one seems to care about.what are you going to do about the workers.that is the most important question today.no time to gloat. You started this fiasco now finish it and explain to the workers how this is the best thing for them and thier families.smt

"The joint provisional liquidators have called their task of sorting through thousands of pages of documents, contracts and communications accumulated over the last decade “massive” "

This is why winding up was a terrible idea if Christie wanted it open as soon as possible.

Bahamian_in_London: This is called Invoice Justification in Advance - Its gonna be a BIG ONE !

Comrades, could this be a direct sign from above that we peoples must return to tourism in our nation of islands, that once catered to those who come from other countries for the pleasure of what was once the simplicity of our lifestyles.
Why are we not using this wonderful opportunity for reexamining in detail, why large scale tourism development projects are fast becoming tourism unfriendly outdated. If not our Bahamaland, there are other places for tourists to want to stay.
Maybe they can work as camouflaged brick and mortar structures but only in spots around the world which must attempt a substitute for healthy and beautiful sunshine water enclosed gardens, provided free of charge throughout Bahamaland, by Mother Nature.

on the real i highly doubt any tourist come here for the bahamian people or the simplicity of our lives. Most want sunshine and beaches, some what to go 'slumming' round fox hill and them place in their bikinis on scooter with a bunch of expensive camera, thinking that the spectacle of poor people is 'real bahamas'.

Go abroad and tell people you from the Bahamas, they gone come back and say you're from Bermuda, or Barbados. They don't even know the difference.

Simple Life, and simple hotel cannot accommodate the millions of tourist who come here, For most Nassau is not as a destination in and of itself, but as an escape from winter, or the stress of their lives abroad...

Sunshine and beaches are not the current wants of tourists. Tourists want the experiential tourism package. They want culture, things to do, fine restaurants, big experiences that they cannot get at home.

The sun, sand, sea paradigm is dead. The lower class tourists from Canada stay at all-inclusives in Cuba or Dominican Republic -- and that is mainly to escape the winter and cold. Those tourists purely for sun in the winter are price shoppers, and the Bahamas is one of the highest price destinations (due to unionization, high energy cost, etc).

The upper middle class tourists look for experience. They like the "Swim with the Dolphins" stuff, but even that is getting old. Most of my Canadian colleagues who are upper middle class, now vacation at a place that is not even on the sea. They are all headed to Mexico to San Miguel de Allende. The climate is warm, it is safe, there is huge amount of culture, shopping at low prices, gourmet restaurants, music, movies, theater, and the population welcomes the snow birds.

The people with money in my client circles, go to the Maldives, Mauritius, or the old standby - Monte Carlo or the south of France.

The reason why One & Only Ocean Club closed for renos, is that they do not offer what the people with money want any more.

BREAKING NEWS: BahaMar to open as "The Beijing Palace" sometime in 2017.

No actually as CHNA MAR!

Honestman: You think BEFORE MAY 2017 ?

See how relieved PGC looks now that Pandora is back in the box. He ain't even close to rubbin that Pinky ring today.

Baha Mar Sues Construction Company In Uk High Court
Tribune - July 1st edition..............So? What happens there?

I guess the liquidator will decide that continuing the lawsuit in the U.K. is not in Baha Mar's financial interest and can stop the process... thus really screwing Izmirlian's chance of getting any sort of compensation for CC's crap job. The liquidators have the power now.

I do not think the Liquidators have the power to decide to stop the U.K. Court action. If Baha Mar is wrestled away from Izmirilian, the damages awarded by the UK Court would help offset his lost investment and would help his case, if he decides to sue The Bahamas government.

If this is the case then we can kiss future serious FDI goodbye ........ this is a classic case of two state governments (Bahamas/China) strong-arming a private investor (Izmirlian) to have their way with his investment ........ others are watching us

Who knows where this will go now????????? Perry ...... this situation is FAR from over .......... I doubt if Izzie will lay down and play dead so you and your greedy crooked cronies can party it up in a hotel complex that he has invested $900 million .......... wipe the smug smile off your face - you haven't won yet

sheeprunner12: Baha Mar was the first choice for the PLP convention. Then they settled for Melia. Ask Big Bad Brad if they going to pay when its over. Would be the first time methinks !

On 97% completion you'll change the management so you'll work through each percent and it's documentation to understand what you are dealing with in order to get the last 3% done. Any CEO of any company would get straight fired only suggesting that - yet here they are already doing it on a 3.5b$ project - unbelievable ...

so nah dey tryn ta say kevin carey is perry christie cousin and the next family reunion pose ta be in key west if bah mar ainn finish by den..i say by dam.

Great post, I would recommend everyone to read it, keep on posting things like this
