well I guess, people see and experience their visit to the Bahamas as a "once in a lifetime experience". NP caters to the wrong tourism. Baha Mar makes this worse. The future of the tourism is sustained tourism in the islands.
yep try to get one of them to pick you up at charlotteville at 5.30 am in the morning to bring you to the airport. the first thing these guys should invest in are alarm clocks. enterpreneurs, my a**.
I believe the fix is to do a reform of the judiciary system. The discussions about bail and gun control are useless and emotional. What needs to change is that (I) the Bar needs to step up and reprimand some of its members for delaying, bail applications etc., (ii) the court system needs to be more efficient. In the Bahamas, the court system has been a sacred cow, it is as a politicized, corrupt and underfunded like everything else. Change the law, change the constitution to disallow bail for capital crimes, provide resources to the judiciary and allow foreign prosecutors. Look at what happened to the Travolta case.
