Obie Weasel said, "We have been in the business for almost 55 years now."
He conveniently forgot to mention we have been total failures, slipping from the #1 Island resort destination in the region to off the chart! Marketing our tourism product produced stopovers figures in steady decline and the Bahamas have the weakest tourism based GDP in the immediate region with a cesspool like Haiti having better tourism growth than the Bahamas.
Obie Weasel cannot identify a single achievement or successful initiative he can claim responsibility for after 10 years as minister of tourism and is so accustomed to "smoke and mirror" tactics he has long lost any moral compass!

Freddy boy is living his worst nightmare imaginable. **Dog don't bark at park car!**
PM Sheriff Minnis already set a whole new path for Bahamian politics. The electorate clearly wants nothing to do with the "old guard" that destroyed the country and decimated our people.
**P**illage **L**oot **P**lunder is finished same as former **F**oreign **N**ational **M**ovement!
Its' a new day with a totally different direction.
Freddy boy and his crew of has been's finally ran out of rope. They have absolutely no political currency left, and no foundation to build on.
**P**illage **L**oot **P**lunder has no chance of "getting stronger"!
The majority of the electorate couldn't give two pinches of puppy poop about **a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g** **p**illage **L**oot **P**lunder Chairman Bradley "gargoyle" Roberts has to say.
This one eyed gargoyle has yet to open his fly trap with a statement condemning alleged corruption of the three recent **P**illage **L**oot **P**lunder bank lane shufflers!
Its common to see 3 cars run red lights, and Haitians as a people could less about our hit and run laws as it is common practice in Haiti to "hit and run" when involved in traffic accidents as people think nothing of killing you if you damage their vehicles!
Tourism Minister Dionisio D'Aguilar is heading for a brick wall trying to revive and incentivize these people with failed plans from **P**illage **L**oot **P**lunder and **F**oreign **N**ational **M**ovement.
Mr. D'Aguilar did not say why or what reasons caused former talks to stall, however, money and the perceived questionable return on investment probably weighed heavily with stakeholders.
The Colonial motif of port Nassau should be recognized as the main tourist attraction in itself and should be kept, restored and enhanced.
Minister D'Aguilar needs to approach this situation from "out of the box" and resist the age old Bahamian government habit of trying to reinvent the wheel starting by inviting stakeholders on a one day working tour of **Key West Florida** to show these people "real live" successful examples of the various business possibilities that could be easily duplicated in Port Nassau.
Minister D'Aguilar, as all former **P**illage **L**oot **P**lunder and **F**oreign **N**ational **M**ovement administrations, also totally missed the most important "components" of a resort destination which is **entertainment and activities** that exponentially extend the "working hours" of a destination, improve visitor experience, increase the potential for profits, employment opportunities, and government revenue.
The Achilles heel of Mr. D'Aguilars' three components of living, parking, food, and beverage is they are all heavily reliant on customer volumes which translate to the potential volume of sales.
The best incentive to any investor is a **measured guarantee of ROI** which would be immediately accomplished by making Port Nassau a duty free shopping zone which would incentivize visitors and locals alike to shops on Bay Street resolving the question of "need" for investment in his "three components".
Government would rake in revenue through VAT on duty-free sales, increased NIB collections from shop employees and obvious spin offs as money flows through the economy.
The same formula would work wonders in Freeport and throughout the family Islands.
**P**illage **L**oot **P**lunder and **F**oreign **N**ational **M**ovement worked assidiously to fail at everything they touched. They'er only "success" was they'er complete and utter failure to improve the lives of our people!
