"... cruise line executives pledging it will inject $100m annually into the economy in its first decade." They are going to need to be overburdening the Bahamian precious environment with over 20,000 passengers, per week, with a spend that is so big that they actually leave $100 each. That would give two million a week over a 50 week period for a $100 million injection into the economy in the first year.
Now, who really believes that the the average cruise ship passenger spends that much? A family of 4 would be spending well over $1000 per day. Why do I feel that this is unlikely.
http://www.tribune242.com/news/2012/jul… In the above article GB Power said that it provided 52 MW. Now they say 48 MW. So which is it? If you can't be accurate on the power generated what else are you not being accurate on? The reort is not complete on what is REALLY happening. truth please!
Had it, no side affects. Look forward to being able to travel (island to island and nation to nation) again as I suspect you soon won't be able to without a Certificate of Vaccination.

So the Government has left Hutchison with the profitable Freeport Harbour and burdened the Bahamain taxpayer with all Hutchison's money loosers.
That is no deal at all.....except for Hutchison who are laughing all the way to the bank.
No wonder the Chinese think we are stupid.

None of the cruise lines are going to take any such initative unless they are forced to do so by the Bahamas Government.
They are in it to make money and if the Bahamian environment is destroyed they don't care.
Our government doesn't seem to care either.

Why is this. The seller is supposed to pay out the staff.
