Freeport needs the hotel sold to an owner who has a business plan that will benefit Grand Bahama's economy.
The RCCL deal clearly failed to do anything other than to provide some low paid jobs.
A hotel who's guests have money to play golf etc. will usually spend money eating out at some of the local restaurants. They will also shop for more than souvenirs.

Only 64% of Israelies are fully vaccinated. They have done a good PR job of talking the vaccinations up but the strict Orthordox Jews are very anti vax.
Still that means that the 36% unvaxed are responible for 60% of the cases.
That the Soth African report also says that they are not sure whether the Omicron is less dealy or it because so many in South Africa have either already had one of the COVID-19 varients or have been vaccinated and so those persons are not getting it very badly.
Also note that Israel is rolling out a 4th set of boosters. Why would they do this unless they felt that the vaccines were a way to slow the virus?
