yeah, ok. good joke. We all know that no one will ever see any part of this. if we do, I will be flabergasted and have to give serious consideration to giving the yellow team a vote for a 2nd go around. They would have to accomplish a number of other important things before they get my vote though.
some good points made on the red tape, but I say let them go to UAE. that place doesn't hold a candle to the Caribbean. Abaco marinas have been doing very well despite. And prices and red tape are also increasing in bvi, usvi, etc. Maybe it is just basic economics and the dock rates are too high? or maybe nassau is a @#%hole and no one wants to be there anyway...?
why doe the young have to pay taxes? they don't have any money and work entry level jobs and cannot afford to buy anything. if you are going to single out 1 demographic you open up the door to all sorts of things and then the whole system falls apart. every disabled, blind, wheelchair, drug addled, street bum person should be exempt from tax, I agree. sic.
Meanwhile somewhere like Elbow Cay and Green Turtle Cay where the entire economy is built on vacation home rentals be like what?!!! the small hotels on those island work with everyone else unlike these hotel guys who just want to ruin the whole thing because... Well I don't know why. Tourism requires a cricital mass to be successful. if hotels want more airlift you need more beds and more beds are easier to add with a vacation home rentals than a full blown hotel, spreads the risk too and extends the season for the hotels. shoot foot to spite face.
Hotel does not pay any annual property tax. A homeowner vacation rental owner does pay large annual real property bills. until the playing field is levelled this conversation is a red herring.
