Whampoa doesn't know what they're doing with hotels, they need to give the Lucayan to whoever was doing a good job with Memories. Tell memories to get over the pissy previous manager.

> they need to give the Lucayan to whoever was doing a good job with Memories

No good job there!

That place was booming and building prestige like never before.

That whole beach front is frigged up, the water level had never been that high in a storm before. Joe Billy's is gone and so are the walls to the luxury homes along the shore. Also the trees! What do they have to promote?

> Resurgence in Freeport

What ever happened to this deal?
http://articles.courant.com/2008-02-22/…

Freeport wasn't even cleaned up months after Matthew.

That is not true.

arguable <img src="http://s04.flagcounter.com/mini/epU/bg_…" style="display:none">

It was on the news.

Government to invest in what damage repair of the resort? It's called insurance. Gov't has public places to fix.

Obie Wilchscome needs to explain why Freeport is still a ghost town despite all the concessions and tax breaks it is getting. Just compare it to Abaco or Exuma. Government is giving away too much and getting too little in return. They are causing Bahamians to pay dearly for living in the Bahamas rather than benefiting from living here.

What' this Obie?? You don't care about the unemployed Bahamians you only care about the Chingro New Year??

Freeport is screwed - might as well treat it like Chernobyl and get out while you can... I know plenty plenty Bahamians who already have.

Comrades! Media reports that the Izmirlian family invested $800-$900 million in equity into the Baha Mar project. How could a company that has not even closed the deal to purchase Baha Mar - have effectively wiped out the Izmirlian family's $800-$900 million?
Shouldn't the PLP cabinet be made to publish for public consumption - the names of all parties that hold leases at Baha Mar, along with the conditions of the said contracts?

Such blatant crookery. You are so right.

Comrade DDK, again according to media reports, Hong Kong-based Chow Tai Fook Enterprises Limited (CTFE) has signed an agreement to own and operate the stalled
US$3.5 billion development project in the Bahamaland, with a “phased opening” scheduled for April 2017. CTFE, which plans to invest an additional" $200 million" in the reopening, has confirmed the first phase will include the casino hotel, casino, convention centre and golf course.....but the media also reports that it will take $400 million to open Baha Mar - so where is the additional $200 million to come from......Maybe National Insurance moneys?
There is good reason to suspect that "alternative facts" might be in play up in the PLP cabinet room?
I believe the true facts surrounding the Izmirlian family's $$800-$900 million, deserves public transparency.
Where is a "United" opposition when the nation needs them the most?

MEANWHILE COWARDLY CROOKED CHRISTIE REMAINS AS SILENT AS A CHURCH MOUSE WHEN IT COMES TO JOB LOSSES JUST ABOUT EVERYWHERE IN OUR COUNTRY TODAY THANKS TO HIS FAILED ECONOMIC POLICIES. CAN YOU IMAGINE HAVING TO HIDE UNDER THE SKIRT OF SOMEONE LIKE FAT HEADED OBIE WILCHCOMBE BECAUSE OF YOUR FEAR OF FACING THE PUBLIC. YEP, THAT'S CROOKED CHRISTIE FOR YOU!

The truth is, no one can stop any investor who decides to leave the Bahamas.

Anyone who invests in the Bahamas in this day and time deserves the cut-ass they will get!

But on the real has Obie Wilchcombe released any tourism figures since he came to office? What are the tourists numbers like for 2016 compared to 2015? What are the figures like for the 4+ years Obie was in office compared to the years prior. Then let's get Lying Halkitis to explain the differences.

**................... Has Obie Wilchcombe EVER Made A Truthful Statement? ........................**

Crooked Christie and Fat Headed Wilchcombe should be made to chew on this as it relates to their gross incompetency in meeting the electrical and other needs of our tourist industry:

BPL is just a foreign front for the failed BEC that is mired in mega-millions of dollars of debt with aged and unkept electrical generating plants and distribution systems that are now on their very last legs. Crooked Christie put the BPL mask on BEC in an effort to hide and deflect blame away from himself for his corrupt government's failure to ensure it was being properly maintained and upkept to meet the vital electrical needs of most of our country. BPL have been only too happy to play the part of a mask on BEC because they are being so very handsomely rewarded to do so off of the backs of Bahamian taxpayers.

Hurricane Matthew took the BPL mask off of BEC revealing just how bad the failed BEC situation has now become. Crooked Christie's corrupt PLP government had to pay PowerSecure an untold fortune to bring in trucks, equipment and personnel from the U.S. in an effort to restore power to most communities because BEC itself has been robbed blind over the years and is now a hollow worthless shell with only mega-millions of debt on its books and in need of mega-millions more in capital to try and resurrect it from the dead. Crooked Christie can run, but as an emporer with no clothes, he cannot hide from all of the injustices he has perpetrated on the Bahamian people.

**MINNIS, AND MINNIS ALONE, WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PLP WINNING THE NEXT GENERAL ELECTION AGAINST IMPOSSIBLE ODDS IF HE DOESN'T TURN THE FNM OVER TO JUST ABOUT ANYONE ELSE.....BUT FIRST HE SHOULD HELP WITH THE DUMPING THE VERY GREEDY AND CORRUPT IDIOT, SIDNEY COLLIE, WHO CURRENTLY SERVES AS THE PARTY'S CHAIRMAN. NO ONE IS GOING TO VOTE FOR THE FNM IF MINNIS AND/OR COLLIE ARE STILL IN THE PICTURE COME ELECTION TIME. THAT'S THE SIMPLE REALITY OF THE SITUATION AND CROOKED CHRISTIE KNOWS IT AND MINNIS MUST NOW STRONGLY SENSE IT. THE BAHAMIAN PEOPLE WILL MAKE MINNIS THE MOST HATED BREATHING BAHAMIAN IF HE INSISTS ON SINGLE HANDEDLY BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR GIVING THE CORRUPT CROOKED CHRISTIE-LED PLP GOVERNEMNT ANOTHER FIVE YEARS DURING WHICH TIME THEY WILL COMPLETELY DESTROY THE BAHAMAS.**

I guess you don't know that Fat Headed Obie is on Hutchison's payroll.
