Thanks to U.S. policies, Canadians and Europeans are avoiding travel to America like the plague, choosing friendlier Bahamas and other regional destinations.
The Canadian wholesale travel market was absolutely huge for the Bahamas during the 80's with Air Canada and multiple Canadian charter airlines delivering a deluge of Canadians to Nassau and Freeport weekly.
How we lost that business is another mystery.
The Bahamas has done nothing but "talk" about improving entertainment, activities, and resort amenities since 1980.
Meanwhile Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Cuba offer multitude's of vibrant nightlife, resort activity’s, and dominate visitor satisfaction.
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah! We have literally begged, pleaded, and repeated "what needs to happen" for 5 decades!
Thank GOD Mr. Peter Goudie has the balls to single out the huge number of work permit holders as the biggest contributors to the problem.
We are where we are because both governments are totally tone deaf and don't give a damn about the plight of Bahamians.
Haitians, Asians, Latinos, Africans, Jamaicans, and others have replaced the Bahamian work force with the blessing of the PLP and FNM so they can make money selling work permits.
The Bahamas desperately needs the leadership of President Ibrahim Traoré because the status quo has lost their way 5 decades ago!
