Government has little respect for land mamals, think they care for marine ones? The speed of approvals is an indication of Elon-isation (Musk-fascination), ala Trump. Let's ignore the toxic pollution...
The Nassau Political Elite will not allow Freeport to compete & succeed. Only after Nassau has run out of space, extreeme heavy traffic, very high a cost of living & housing, with environmental & health concerns from overpopulation will they consider other islands opportunities... there yet? Reason why Atlantis was moved from Andros to NP. It should have been the seed for theme-tourism, expansions of the seat of government in an ample location with resources of water & space for development. A win -win scenario for NP as a historical-cultural center, Nearby Andros as governmental administrative service center and GB as industrial educational research center, opening the door to world skills for Bahamians without having to leave. The easiest method to control people? Limit opportunities by poor education, poor housing, poor health, high population, cost & polution...Mumbai comes to mind.
The highly competitive Cruise Ship industry, with investments in multi-hundred-million-dollar ships, logistics, marketing, locations, are serious amounts. Thus they maintain absolute control on every means of funds available from their Discount-Clients, leaving scraps for local businesses & families. To encourage 50% of similar investments in local tourist facilities & locations, would advance the economies of many communities. That is what governments should be promoting, instead of beign mesmerized by impressive Cruise numbers with very Limited Impact. Minimize placing inumerable hurdles for participants & investors, both local & foreign.
Want to improve doing business in The Bahamas? Get rid of the 'What's in it for ME in My Kingdom?' A Mideavel Beaucrat-Pirate mindset. Mandated expensive professional services & approvals by uncooperative agency personnel who would rather be elsewhere, has been a common impediment every government that concentrates on hiring volumes of voters instead of talent. Government must provide incentives to worker performance beyond Low Wages in a High Cost of living environment. The 'who you know' game must be available to all, startups & wealthy.
