They were supposedly prepared for Dorian. It’s great to make some statement that you are prepared but the proof is in the pudding. The best resource post hurricane are American pilots and mariners bailing out the government. Hopefully, they won’t be charging people to evacuate on the national airline this time!

I used Click 2 Clear for some ocean shipments. 4 months after I picked up the shipment they emailed me my shipment was released. This is a recipe for disaster. Especially out islands where computers will be down, etc. They already have everyone’s info on the health visa. Why be redundant??

fleece the tourists! Why not? They are already doing it with the $40 “health visa” scam! And the Click2Clear for pilots is another joke!

Why would the government give up on the $240,000,000 health visa/tax/scam they have been using?

This sale was never going to happen. Who is going to buy Treasure Cay and invest 30-40 million and basically have no infrastructure? Everyone has seen that the government has done minimal to help recover from the hurricane. It’s now been 32 months since Dorian. The airport at TCB is in a total state of disrepair. The local residents have to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to get the sewer fixed then get charged by the government to use it. Why would anyone want to invest knowing that another hurricane would result in what we have seen? It is one of the most gorgeous places in the world.

Let's face it. The Meisters have abandoned Treasure Cay for greener pastures. They got their insurance money. If they don't do anything, they don't lose money. Someone would have to put millions into TC to even bring the marina back. And, with the Meisters iron grip on all the property, they aren't about to lease anything out nor would anyone pay anything to fix anything unless they know who the new owner is and what he is going to do. Without Kovats putting down some big bond to guarantee that he is going to actually do some rehab and not just sit on it, TC is dead in the water. The Bahama Beach Club is back so repair is possible. But, you have to care about it.

Maybe they can great rid of that money making scheme called “health visa” that has made the government $10 million and costs a family of four between $160 and $240. Or, let’s just keep fleecing the tourists!

Dominican Republic doesn’t have a “$40 Health Visa” and no tests. They are thriving. Health visa is probably here for good. Health visa just another way to fleece tourists. No way it costs $40 per person to operate. Or, is someone’s hand in cookie jar?!?

Abaco has become a haven for drug deals, murders, looting, stolen boats. The government just stands by and let’s it happen. Bye bye tourism. It will become another Freeport very soon. Sad, because it used to be such an idyllic place.

A family of four that may want to come to the Bahamas for a 3 day weekend just added more than $1,000 to their trip or $333 per day. Fully vaccinated still need a $200 antigen test which requires hours of your time besides the money, then $40 each for Health Visa (love to know what’s going on with this money!) and then a $29 exit charge. That’s $1,076! Let’s see, cost to go to Florida Keys-0. It would be like getting free lodging going to the Keys and not have to deal with immigration, customs, etc. Think about it!
