Bahamas Ministry of Tourism is part of The Government of the Bahamas. They spent under $100 million on advertising in digital, print, and national TV in the last year. They invest in premium ad units and advertised on over 100 different Media Properties in the last year across multiple Media formats. Bahamas Ministry of Tourism launched and advertised 2 new products in the past twelve months < > Blockquote<
When you put things in perspective just 1 percent of the Ministry of Tourism’s annual budget was spent on the trip to Dubai. And some people ask, ‘How much value will the country get from this trip?’ The fact is, like advertising the results are not immediate. Some will remember their experience or interaction with the Bahamas at the expo three, four, even five years from now and some may decide to visit The Bahamas. Then there are the spin-off effects. Is it much to do about nothing? Trade shows and expos like this are costly to plan and put on, but those who plan them know the value of the experience and the exposure.
Many people have the impression that the marijuana industry will be lucrative and a quick way to get rich quick. But firstly when all the regulations are set in place, many will not qualify to become farmers or distributors plant. And, of course, big business will come in with resources, technology and influence and corner the market. The ‘smaller’ Bahamians will most likely become contract farmers, using their land and resources to grow crops for larger distributors. Then, of course, depending on how much government is willing to allow the recreational market to grow (6 million tourists). Some can become specialty farmers and grow different varieties of the crops. But there will be problems to be dealt with. The projection is that the marijuana market will become saturated by 2025 as more and more countries legalize the plant and more and more farmers begin to grow the crop legally. Then countries, like The Bahamas. will face problems from illegal growers who will try to maintain their market share. One thing they will do is flood the market (at least recreational) with cheaper products, making it impossible for legal products to sell or causing prices to fall and it becomes impossible for legal growers to make a profit. Then there will be the added costs of security on these farms. Some farmers of local crops are already experiencing having their farms raided through the middle of the night and even during the daytime. Some, larger, more sophisticated farmers will have green houses with electronic fencing.
Vaughan McCartney sounds like an idiot beating Miss Daisy into the ground. Obviously he doesn’t know how these expos are structured. Some people are invited/taken . After work comes fun and play.
Both testing and vaccines are abused and misused. Despite data showing the Omnicron respects no vaccines or booster shots, Bahamians are still lining up like sheep to a slaughter to be vaccinated. Even after recovering from Omicron. Then the children!
The Omicron variant may have already PEAKED inThe Bahamas! The reasons why the numbers may not clearly indicate this yet is because there has been an increase in the number of people being tested for Covid as well as the frequency at which they are being tested. So if a large percentage of the population are hotel workers and are required to be tested twice a week, this increases the frequency of testing. And is some tested positive but are anxious to return to work and test regularly it also increases the number of tests. So does the new free tests. And, unlike South Africa, there are stil persons traveling and contracting the Delta variant. This strain not only causes more acute illnesses, but it lasts longer. So if a person frequently tests then it can skew the number of positives. But shortly the fact that the Omicron has peaked here will be more obvious. And will the Omicron disappearance mean the final end to Covid-19?
As a learned attorney and having practiced as a magistrate, Munroe knows the effects of putting this type information before the courts or a jury or in the public domain. Even if he fully withdraws the statement, the effects will already be there and the damage already done. Why is he already trying to justify a police killing in the height of an investigation. Stay neutral in Ian investigation that involves two officers of two branches under your administration. Munroe really slighted and offended the family and loved ones of the slain officers, regardless of the circumstance.

So if it had nothing to do with tourism, then why give tourism a ‘space’ in the overall design? You mix up like conch salad ma bey
