Apparently you have not been reading the letters to the Editor. American tourists and travel agents have been complaining about the difficulty they have travelling to the Bahamas. These new Biden measures will make it a lot worse, that is why everyone in the Bahamas tourism industry is calling it a disaster. The next Biden measure will be the opening of Cuba to American tourists, which will be the final nail in the coffin for our hotels.

You must be dreaming if you think Biden will fix the pandemic in the USA. The only thing that will fix it are the vaccines, unfortunately for the Bahamas it will be too late with these new anti-travelling measures enacted by Biden.

Yep, to hell with all the peace treaties signed by Trump. We can finally get back to regime changes, invasions, torturing, bombings etc. That fresh smell of white phosphorus has been missing for 4 long years...

"Others were more blunt, saying Mr Biden’s move will “kill The Bahamas”. Yep, you got that one right! And to think some fools thought that Biden would be good for the Bahamas.

Don't tell me you support Biden because he said you aren’t black if you don't support him? lol

"First and foremost, banking is dead" yep killed by Clinton and Obama. Now Biden will do the same with our tourism industry.

Get ready for another round of borrowing at 10% interest this time. Next year VAT will be increased to 20% to pay for the cost of these new restrictions, and the Biden groupies will try to convince you that this is "great".

And Biden has not even started talking about opening up Cuba to US tourists. When that take place, I can already hear the minister talk about "double whammy".

It will be a miracle if the Bahamas avoids bankruptcy with this Biden administration.

No rebound coming with Biden, more like a double dip...and he has not even started talking about opening up Cuba.

The situation is worse in Europe, you're going to blame the previous President for that too?

This is great news? I assume that you are not working in the tourism sector.
Apparently you did not read the whole article. Here are some bits:

"Crippling Blow"

“Tourism Minister Dionisio D’Aguilar says could be a devastating blow to the Bahamian economy.”

“This news is devastating”

“This is bringing instability to the travel market, uncertainty and that will deter people from travelling internationally.

“It’s quite depressing really.”

“This is a body blow.”
