The Bahamas will have to wait for a vaccine that is given/prioritized for US, Canadian, and EU travellers by their Countries.
Vaccinated visitors are the only way the Bahamas can reopen fully. All the rest of the economic diversification stuff makes sense but not while the house is on fire.

Note to self; Never fund a Bahamian represented "Charity".

1 - Energy is inexpensive in the US
2 - Bahamas is close to the US
3 - Therefore energy should be inexpensive in the Bahamas

This is not a cogent argument. That means that 1 and 2 do not necessarily support 3.
I see you also believe in the Hurricane Insurance Fairy. Would YOU underwrite the insurance any structure in a Hurricane zone?
L-O-G-I-C please.

What you have in essence trueBahamian, are floating all-inclusive resorts that have been heavily reinvested in, and come here to complement their service.
I suspect the view from the top of the ships is superior to the one on land and can be enjoyed without spending additional money.
I used to think they were idiots in conga lines at Senor Frogs having tequila poured in their mouths, but this is a formula that works. I heard that bar sells $1MM in a good month. A 3 hour party on a Tuesday afternoon. I don't understand it but if it brings in dollars, show me the back of the line.

One of the things that I notice in The Bahamas, is that the cost of electricity drags the entire economy down.
I ask myself, why are all the establishments so dingy, dark, and unwelcoming? People think illumination = civilization. Tourists are already afraid of strangers/locals and now they are expected to go out at night with no visible security presence? Americans fear their own Cities; what do you think they think of ours?
And what is wrong with all-inclusive resorts? They are the choice of most Caribbean tourists because they are able to budget and not think about what and where to eat and drink every day! They are on vacation, not exploration.
I know this hurts, but the tourists for the most part are not interested in the culture of the places they visit for beach fun, and this includes The Bahamas.
Can we find a way to be happy with the money all-inclusives bring in and not get in some "share the wealth" argument that only serves to make other Countries the preferred choice of middle class North Americans?
Time to stop stepping on our own d--ks!

You see the issue is this:
Local production for local consumption does not add to the GDP of the Nation. The people don't have jobs to make money to pay for masks. Making them pay more for a temporary industry is just moving the deck chairs on the Titanic.
So if there was an export market for the masks, this would make some sense.

Prohibit foreign viruses!!!! Only Bahamian viruses or those with proper work permits are allowed.
Have a green bus with the military arresting all those viruses that violate the order.
Problem solved.

Companies aren't here to replace a broken educational system. If your education leads you to conspiracy theories; it's time to return to school.

This was a DEA arrest on Bahamian soil.
The US legalized marijuana and makes billions from the sale but come here to make arrests?
lol.
Joke is on you Bahamas!!!
