Our PM has lost his way. It is time for him to go - and go fast! Let me get this right. This rudderless government wants visitors to produce a negative COVID test on arrival, which I can accept, but then you have to be tested again on arrival, and tested a 3rd time some days later??? So why would a visitor go through all of that to visit the Bahamas??? For what??? The beautiful waters and the warm, friendly people??? Ain’t happenin.’ How stupid is that??? You’d have to be an idiot to go through all that.
The Bahamas is about to self destruct and this lockdown BS, open, close, open, close is going to be worse than the virus! Mark my word! It will take the BROKE Bahamas many years to pull out of the economic destruction. You all better learn to fish and grow cassava!

*"Best thing we can do is kick USA out of our country"* Some of you all better wake-up because you've been asleep for a long time! if you think the Chinese are investing in the Bahamas because they want to help Bahamians and a developing nation, you are sadly mistaken and foolishly misled. They have one interest and one interest only and that is spreading their footprint far and wide and getting as close as they can to the U.S. Take a look at how much of the U.S. they own. They'll be fishing our waters like you've never seen on their commercial fishing boats and going back to China with the catch. And if sleepy Joe wins the election, we're in trouble! Wake up Bahamas!!!
That’s one hell of a precedent setting case. Wait until something tragic happens with the shark diving companies in the Bahamas. You all goin’ down the same road. People can’t fish or spearfish anymore because sharks have become conditioned to boat motors. Soon as they hear the motor, they gather around.
Clamshell.......you just don’t get it. This isn’t the US where the government is sending you a $600 stimulus check once a week on top of the unemployment insurance you can collect. Keep the economy shutdown in the Bahamas much longer and you’ll see what happens. The rich won’t be hurting but everyone else will. You can bank on it!
Mr. Minister - you’re about to kill the tourism business that the Bahamas relies on exclusively to sustain itself.
My family and I live in Florida, and we had plans to visit Nassau and Exuma this Summer as we often do. I’m sorry to say but if you think I’m going to the trouble of getting my family tested so that we can visit the Bahamas, I have news flash for you, Sir - it ain’t happenin’.
Not 20 minutes ago, my wife said let’s go the Mountains instead. DONE!!!
And you can bank on this - as long as Bahamas Immigration is going to require a negative COVID test certificate, we won’t be calling on the Bahamas.
What are you going to do about cruise lines?? You going to tell the cruise lines that every passenger that disembarks must have a negative COVID test certificate. Good luck. The cruise lines are already on life support and if you believe they’re going comply with your requirements, I have more news for you. They will pull the Bahamas from their itinerary quicker than you walk up the stairs of the House of Assembly. I wish and you and your country well.
I applaud Cat Islanders for the proactive steps they’ve taken to keep their residents healthy. I would just be careful about saying Cat Islanders don’t want any tourist. You can only say that for so long. You keep saying it as places reopen and travel resumes, your wish may just come true. I hope you’ll allow me and my family to visit your beautiful Island one day and meet the beautiful people of Cat Island.
