To clarify - I was suggesting that they inspect the cargo ships...not the cruise ships.
If Hutchison's shipping business was put into chaos for a couple of days, or a week, then they would quickly resolve the resort issue.
Hutchison were given generous incentives in order to take ownership of the resorts. The government did so in order to provide employment. Hutchison hasn't/isn't fulfilling their end of the deal. Either fine them OR hit their profitable (shipping) operations with delays.
**What other suggestions do readers have to force Hutchison's hand??**
PS words of a person who heard it from someone ... who heard it from someone...then it was edited and the edited and then revised to suit someone else.... and that's where the Bible fiction comes from!!
Not advised as many experienced tourists prefer to rent a car in order to have mobility and, most importantly, to experience the sights and people outside of the 'tourist areas' which are serviced by the taxis and buses.
This is a strength for the Family Islands.
Banning rental cars would decrease employment and tourism as well.

Open the resorts NOW!
Pressure Hutchison by inspecting each and every ship coming into the port. Top to bottom...front to back .... and take your time!
Create a backup that puts their profitable operations into chaos and they will magically 'see the light'.
enough with negotiating with people that don"t care about the bahamas or more importantly the Bahamian people!!!
open the resorts!!!

Seriously...this just gets more foolish by the minute!
clear out the board of directors and senior management .... they failed at every level and should be financially liable and held accountable.
That's the way it works.... you get the big pay ... BUT you are responsible and liable.
done!
