How is it possible that the same group of dumb geniuses continue passing environmental impact studies for these private island cruise destinations, without any solution to proper waste disposal?
These same clowns throw hissy fit's if a Bahamian doesn’t have a waste collection contract for a triplex, but they keep smiling and allow cruise operators to continue getting away with destroying our country
**In which world can $300 provide any resolution to the environmentally safe disposal of a ton of cruise ship waste?**
What about the years of accumulated cruise ship waste already "stressing" island dump sites? What is the solution for that, and who pays to correct it?
Mr. Wilson is way out to lunch if he thinks Bahamians are stupid enough to accept this "$300 per ton levy" as a solution.
Financially strapped Bahamians continually getting screwed with all sorts of fees for "dis and dat" while the rich corporations keep getting away with a slap on the wrist and a big smile.
Despite the minister of national security casting blame on the parents, The rising suicide rate speaks undeniable volumes of 50 years of poor leadership.
People commit suicide mainly when experiencing situations of financial hardships, hopelessness, and despair leading to deep depression.
Rising unemployment and underemployment are two main factors fueling this spike in suicides.
Question: is this the same international arena dealing with the international agencies the united nations, international human rights agencies, world agencies and a whole plethora of Committees and sub Committees looking into the Israeli led U.S. genocide?
Firstly, unfortunately, the Bahamas political architecture is transitory with no established long term tourism development plan.
For decades with every change in government, the new ruling party takes years attempting to identify the way forward for tourism development. By the time they conceive a plan and begin implementation they are voted out and the cycle repeats all over again.
Secondly, neither government has had the humility and enough common sense to listen to "on the ground Bahamians" like Elizabeth “Pinky” Wilson-Robinson and Olivia Bain!
These ladies and many, many, others over decades have tried in vane to point the government in the right direction as to what is "actually needed" to improve our tourism product.
However, with Parliament mainly consisting of "high hat" doctors, lawyers, and accounts the likes of Elizabeth “Pinky” Wilson-Robinson and Olivia Bain are totally ignored.
The result is exactly what we have now. Pig headed, politicians with absolutely zero hands on experiences in tourism "brainstorming, and making decisions" that are totally irrational and bound to fail!
For many decades the single biggest complaint from visitors, cruise operators, and airlines is there is not enough to do in Nassau. How our genius politicians interpreted that as a need for more hotels downtown remains a mystery.
How difficult is it to simply look at competing regional resort destinations like Mexico, Cuba, Dominican Republic, and Jamaica, to see how they have perfected the art of using entertainment to extract huge revenue from tourists.
For instance Cuba profits more from tourism entertainment than room revenues! There is more entertainment in six city blocks in Cuba than exist in the entire Bahamas!
Elizabeth “Pinky” Wilson-Robinson and Olivia Bain are 1000% correct.
We need to focus on more entertainment diversity downtown, not more hotel rooms.
