This project would do nothing for our economy under the very greedy business model of the cruise line companies that puts all of the profits from their operations into their own pockets. We will simply be left with the unsightly environmental damage.

So what stop you or other bahamian busknessman from investing in Lighthouse Point Eleuthera?

The "benefits" of this project certainly won't outweigh the short-term & long-term "costs!!!"

Could someone please tell me how a petition for Disney to stop building in the Bahamas has more signatures than the population of the Bahamas? IS is that foreign interest are trying to dictate to Bahamians what should happen in their own country?

A good question ... about 380,000 of those signatures are from once-a-decade tourists who for years have believed that private property down there is their own private beach and it’s being “taken” from them.

"Disney’s EIA “must address the realities of climate change, COVID, and systemic injustice and ..."

LOL - That's funny. So they have to solve all the world's problems before they can invest in the Bahamas? That's a whole new level of black crab syndrome there, where we have sunk to now starving each other to death.

Maybe they should also be forced to answer how is the Tooth Fairy going to operate in the new cashless society? What will parents put under their children's pillows?

Have you ever for a moment pondered why a small tropical nation like ours blessed with (i) so much natural beauty, (ii) an ideal location just off the southeastern tip of North America, and (iii) so few native people (less than 400,000 Bahamians) cannot be managed in a way such that each and every Bahamian citizen enjoys a high standard of living?

The foreign owners/operators of the cruiseline companies like Disney, Carnival, RCL, etc. have played a big role in keeping most Bahamians down trodden and shackled by working hand in hand with our corrupt elitist politicians who are only too willing to sell us all out for their own personal enrichment.

Land is our most scarce resource and something must be done to prevent our corrupt politicians from effectively transferring ownership of the best parts of it to foreign corporate interests with minimal if any economic benefit for our country and the vast majority of Bahamians. For decades now Bahamians have been quite literally giving away the economic benefits associated with their natural heritage, i.e. the best sun, sand and sea on the planet. We must not allow this inherent unfairness to continue.

truer words have never been spoken. For decades they've put forward this narrative that the land is arrid and good for nothing other than to slap a massive hotel on. blindly overlooking the most valuable thing about the land..."natural beauty". Every time I pass that big barn on Bay St I wonder who approved this big barn on Bay St? Children today know nothing about the hills that once existed on the center of the island, all flattened for a few truckloads of fill. East St hill flattened for duncan donuts shop. The abuse we have laid on this land left to us are unconscionable

More stupidity and ignorance once again. We are biting the hands that have feed us and will continue to feed us for the foreseeable future. It is clear that this man has no idea of our competitiveness. We can only sell our sun, sand and sea. And it is up to us to be creative to fine tune our products and services.

The FNM Government under the sagacious leadership of our Prime Minister, the Right Honorable Hubert Minnis has been doing a fantastic job in diversifying our tourism product and services.

Look at our Manifesto, read it, understand it and get in line with it. All other things being equal the standard of living has a lot to do with our education and innovation. So stop your arrant nonsense.

Continue you to lead us Prime Minister. We need you. Four more years.

My comrade, careful cause all early symptoms point you're so borderline be's candidate becomes suffering an even more serious than before of one your drop knees redcoats Bottomdude relapes.

The Bahamas has to prioritize between cruise visitors and land-based visitors. Personally, I believe that the most beautiful spots in the Bahamas should be reserved for Bahamians and land-based tourists, not for cruise tourists.

The Bahamas has prioritized ... the government could have purchased that land for a nature preserve at any time over the past 20 years and chose not to.

Just because cruise ship owners buried undersea in the billions of dollars can be expected attempt to spin the same positive message of don't fret much, we'll be back cruising our mega cruise ships full-paying passengers thing, there is good evidence out there pay attention to how close they're to **never rising above comeback waters** before forced into declaring bankruptcy....including, but not limited to **the sellin' off over 100** their cruise ships **over last three months.** Most was sold for scrap value monies.
Many thousands who paid for their dream cruises, amounting in the in billions of dollars, are still waitin' to receive refund cheques arrive in the Royal Mail. Many will never receive a refund.
**Yes, even a private company in our own colony** has bought on the cheap price a cruise ship, thus savin' a perfectly in good condition cruise ship from ending up being sold for salvage.**Shakehead** a quick once for upyeahvote, a slow twice for not a hope in hell, you'll ever again see 4,000 to 6.000 passenger-carrying **Mega** ships returning back cruise on high seas.
