You have a failed education system when you need such things.

> While the Ministry of Tourism, in partnership with private sector resorts and marinas, had done its best to promote The Bahamas at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show,

The Tribune has seemingly turned into a mix of opinions writing.
These statements are left in as fact and never justified.
How can the author say definitively without ever explaining how they 'done its best'. Is he sure that they did thier best? Could they not have done more? What is it they did?

A simple statement can be "while the MOT. ......has been actively promoting The Bahamas...."

> The Bahamas, as one of the most exposed and vulnerable nations to climate change effects, has always been keen to do its part - and set an example - in combating global warming.

I'm sorry but is the author writing an opinion piece?

What is it showing to back this up?

According to URCA 99% of power production is fossil.
Most govt buildings are not LEED certified.
We dont mandate anything regarding building insulation or anything to reduce the energy consumed to cool buildings.
LNG which is touted as this major fix....contains mostly methane.
Per the Asia Natural Gas and Energy Association a proponent and Lobby for LNG
> While methane has a shorter atmospheric lifespan than carbon dioxide, it traps more heat per molecule because of its structure.

So LNG which dissipates faster than CO2, traps more heat while it is in the atmosphere than CO2.

Tell me how is the Bahamas keen to do it part? Has the Tribune drunk the koolaid too?

The question then mathematically is the marginal cost worth an entire stop being removed?
Then from a govt standpoint I dont think cruisel ines will risk such a move

Remember also, Royal is pumping millions into the PI project, not stopping at Nassau will then kill that investment.

In exchange for the right to print money and this exclusivity, what is the treasury going to receive in return?

Shouldn't the Tribune at least for each of these articles clearly diaclose that it's lead owns the company in question?

Otherwise it comes across as a self promotion piece!

Another case of where the budget looks better due to simply holding back funds

Accrual accounting would show us with massive liabilities

However. You simply don't pay someone, say ooops later and claim you are prudent spenders

Try this with Inland Revenue or BPL and see how far it gets you

Reminds me of us supposedly benefiting from COVID travel in early 2020 amongst other wacky promises
