Let the hotels worry about the airlift. They stand to gain the most. Be honest, if you were to go on vacation to Tonga, who would you prefer to fly with, Delta or Okidoki Airways.
Domestic pavement, road, air and sea services should all be treated the same, they are essential infrastructure for a (island) nation. And like the Americans charge you for toll-roads, the Swiss charge you for tunnels, the Dutrch charge you for bridges, the Greek charge you for ferries, etc etc, there should be a part the government pays and a part that the user pays. It is ridiculous to think the user can pay for it all, government should subsidize but be under very strict control (which I guess is the biggest problem here). If some company wants to compete with Delta, JetBlue, Southwest and the likes, so be it, best of luck to them. How many tourists actually come on Bahamasair, real actual tourists, not Bahamians who live abroad and come to stay with relatives and say they are tourists just to skip the customs inspection ?????
I wish these parties would come up with some positive and viable plans to tackle all these issues they now dig up. Seems like the only goal for everybody is "beat the others", so they can sit on the plush and empty the cookie jar same as the others. Blehhhh!
Congratulations to the people who made this possible. It is a very positive way to be in the news. Tournaments like this, the relays, the golf tournaments, and other sporting events should get more attention than that cultural Frankenstein called Junkanoo Carnival. One little thing, why not charge $1 admission and donate all that to a good cause like Ranfurly, Susan Cooman, Red Cross, Salvation army or whatever.
