Sorry, but you are misinformed. There were plenny Bahamians waiting to invest, the money for the acquisition and for the development of the site were already raised. Unfortunately it was under contract and the Government got paid off somehow, cos Disney aint doing nothing but for themselves and the US Embassy was putting pressure on our Government for that US company that got the $400mil contract to build the dock. So no, bad deal.
There were better proposals on the table with OEF which would have created twice as many full time jobs across the spectrum, not just a few seasonal low end jobs.
Diz is the one corporation who CAN afford duty and VAT... wouldn't affect them adversely at all... the average Bahamian struggles with duty and VAT. So wtf was the idea behind this?

Pathetic deal by our so called government representatives and a slap in the face to every single Bahamian and to future generations.
I do not know how they can sleep at night.
The pillaging Pirates are still running the Bahamas.
