Transitional holders could be a company Bahamians invest in. They'll be there to buy everything. I'm sure there's also development loans for that.

Looks like we could use a investment retention team.

Individuals also have to secure themselves jobs online.

Don't get swindled into paying for it and are still giving them concession extensions.

Bahamians keep complaining about using the cards and direct deposit instead of cashing checks though. Then they also complain about getting robbed.

Guides could work for charters too.

Furnishing matters greatly.

Thank you LLoyd.

Just add the cost of the fishing license to your room rate, then do it for them manually and have guests pick up from the front desk until the online option is available. I've never procured a fishing license off site when choosing fishing for a hotel activity. The desk for fishing did it where I got my rods. Your profiles on TripAdvisor and the rest can say fishing license included or no fishing license required with local guides in the title (not that $15 really makes the difference)

Have a contact that internationals can call. Lodge owners can group together to have a foreign booking agent contact. Hustle your marketing.

Welcome to competition. If you can't compete now, I'm not sure what you'l have left after WTO.

Long Island Bone fishing Losge doesn't show up when I search " Bahamas Fishing Lodge".

Got get Search Engine Optimization for your site if most booking are through that channel.
