As I said many times, the only supporters of this oil drilling project in the Bahamas are those on the payroll of BPC. Therefore it is time to investigate who issued the permits and on what basis.

The majority of tourists who come here come by ship and they are cheap...as for the rich and educated they will want to experience Cuban culture. They were all in Cuba before the revolution and will return as soon as they can.

Ask yourself this question. If Biden opens up Cuba to Americans and you are an investor looking to build a hotel in the Caribbean, where would you invest your money? It's not only the tourists that will will lose, but also the foreign investments.

"Cuba had been popular but was then barred to Americans due to problems with the Castro regime.

So The Bahamas benefited being so close to the US.

Warnings to your Tourism Ministry should have been noted when President Barack Obama started to open the American tourist market to Cuba.

President Donald Trump put an end to most of that opening.

However Joe Biden may well again allow American tourism. This could seriously affect The Bahamas."

Yep, and can you believe that many Bahamians supported Biden and Obama. We love shooting ourselves in the foot in this country.
