They had Five years to plan an election and couldn’t develop a "Blue Print" for it, but they want us to believe they have a magical blue print for the next five years!

The person making the blue prints is the same person that promised a blue print for free electricity in the last elections. 😳

**In reality, the root cause of declining hotel visitors is the cooling of global economies.**

Mr Fountains assertion that "Mom and Pop" shops for the most part, are not up to speed on 21st century operations, is indeed another major contributing factor for a so called "high end" expensive resort destination delivering sub-standard customer experiences.

However, focusing on competing with the cruise lines via price or cost and delivering comparable experiences and value for dollar is the main misleading approach that the Bahamas just can not seem to comprehend.

Until we "GET IT" that hotel and cruise tourism are two distinctively different products, we will continue "chasing" non-starter marketing strategies with the same results.

Firstly, the cruise industry is one of the few industries that is least affected with declining economies. Recessions have little to no negative effect on the cruise industry. Conversely, the hotel industry is the complete opposite. It is greatly negatively affected with declining economies and recessions. It is practically illogical to discuss the cruise and hotel industries in the same breath!

Secondly, our family island product is significantly stagnated because foreigners holding private homes for tourist rentals have been allowed to gain a strangle hold on the high end market, while hiding behind "environmental issues" have succeeded in brainwashing family Islanders that hotel development is a bad thing to be fought against tooth and nail.

Mr Weech and Mr Fountain will need to purge their thinking of decades of established norms, realign themselves with realities on the ground, **"somehow"** get government to see the light regarding foreigners family island strangle hold in the Islands, and resolve local Bahamians objections to development.

Otherwise, the Bahamas will never be able to properly develop as a regional resort destination while Cayman, Mexico, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic, will continue dominating Caribbean travel.

To “drill down” and repeat how we've always approached our tourism product is 100% doomed to guaranteed repetitive failure.

Untold Millions unaccountable in various ministries, Pike BPL failure, crazy travel expenses with nothing to show for it, and any number of untenured contracts., etc, etc,, etc,,......

**We're not concerned with Mr. Bains little personal issue **

**Lincoln Bain all the way !**

BPL Pike deal failure. We still have no idea who the principals are of BPL. Every "deal is an under the table steal".

Enough piracy. Lincoln Bain ANYDAY!

We know beyond any shadow of doubt that the PLP and FNM have proven they are two sides of the same coin.

Last election 34% voter turnout is undeniable proof that Bahamians are sick and tired of the hands wash hands, family friends and lovers 5 decades political merry-go-round stupidity.

Taking a chance to try something different is the only sensible option on the table!

Piracy is not only alive but thriving in the Bahamas!

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Politicians pre election promises are for fools. They had 5 years to do something and they did nothing.

Now they want us to give them another five based on more promises and an invisible "blueprint"!

Lol.....A promise is a comfort for a fool.
