With 5 decades of asinine political stupidity compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic, tourism Minister Dionisio d’Aguilar is obviously between the proverbial rock and a hard place.
The biggest question for d’Aguilar now is "are we going right back to the same lousy tourism product" or will we use this time to fashion an improved frontline product"?
Jet ski's, nightlife, Bay Street & resort area hooligans, excursion tours, value for the dollar shopping, down town experience, etc' should have all been addressed, revamped, and regulated were necassary to improve Nassau as a resort destination.
Alternatively, we can sit back on our hands and wait until these areas are totally decrepet and the USA, Canada, and the EU declare Nassau a "no visit destination".
If d’Aguilar continues sticking his head in the sand like his predecessors pretending these deficientcies will simply go away like magic or correct themselves & keeps doing nothing would not surprise me. However, the country will continue to fail.
U.S. teachers are dropping like flies after schools reopened face-to-face. I've said repeatedly common sense dictates due to the extenuating circumstances brought on by COVID-19, schools should be online or not at all.
Jeff Lloyd seems to be power struck and incapable of making a rational decision based on facts, NOT what America is doing.
As usual, ignorance is bliss. Before opening your mouth and proving your lack of knowledge, research 2015 to 2019 tourism arrivals to The Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Mexico, and Haiti and compare the Bahamas for the same period.
Regardless if it's worth is only $20.00, you hoggish pirates have absolutely no right to steal the countries natural resources from the citizens of the Bahamas!
The people are the rightful owners, not a handful of you thieving pirates!
