100K to compensate them for not harassing tourists and selling worthless junk for a few months, seems reasonable to me!
Also the article states "The 27 remaining vendors, all of whom the Dis We Beach advocacy group said hold valid Business Licences to operate on Cabbage Beach, have been **given until April 2007 to reach an agreement** over their proposed relocation"
I would think that making a 20 year retroactive date to "reach an agreement" is a little unreasonable for the poor folks. Maybe up their compensation to $200K or $300K and throw in a couple of first class tickets to Paris. I mean fair is fair!
The out of control jet ski gangs have terrorized the beaches of the Bahamas for many years and zero has been done to reign them in. Tourists are routinely robbed, beaten and harassed by these monsters and the country seems powerless to do anything about it. They target our most precious resource, our tourism industry and a blind eye is turned by everyone. When will the violence be stopped? When will our beaches be safe again?
Wow! how to help an ailing tourist industry in a country with the best beaches in the world, hmmm, let's see...
Here's a fun tip for you: try allowing Uber, Bolt, Lyft or any other reputable ride hailing service to provide efficient car rides for tourists, instead of bending over for the endlessly whining, rotten service providing taxi "industry" and their ridiculous, unregulated, broken down dangerous vehicles and rotten attitudes.
Second fun tip: Try reigning in the wild, out of control jetski violence and drug gangs who prey on unsuspecting tourists on beaches throughout the Bahamas. Perhaps you could encourage the enforcement of laws that prevent murder, violence, beatings, rape, and drug dealing as I don't think most tourists come to our beaches to be robbed at gunpoint while watching their loved ones being attacked.
Hope these tips help rejuvenate the tourist industry and all the best!
So tell me again why we, the paying public, are forced to endure these crybabies, their broken down "taxis"and endless whining while the rest of the world enjoys the freedom, convenience and ubiquitous availability of Uber, Lyft, Bolt and many other professionally operated ride share companies. Anyone??
"water sports and tour operators"?? Do you mean the out of control drug and violence gangs that roam Bahamian beaches looking for tourists to beat, rob, rape and burglarize? lmfao
Maybe you'd be able to afford private school for your kid if you stopped ruining the reputation of my country by being a conduit for endless violent attacks.
Go to other countries and see how many wild, lawless, out of control drug gangs are blasting 2 feet from the beach on jetskis while picking up naive people and leaving them stranded on remote islands for hours unless they,,,,, Ill give you hint, there aren't any, laws are enforced and out of control drug gangs are arrested. But not here...
Good god, someone put a stop to this madness. Victimised?? give your head a shake man
As long as the gambling underworld controls the financial system in this country you can forget about any kind of "alternative banking system" getting any kind of traction.
Potholes the size of tank traps everywhere, traffic lights on bay street don't work but lots of new bentleys on the street,....hmmm
Funniest thing I've read this week! Hey, want to eliminate the crime and mayhem caused by JetSki "operators"? Simple, Ban Jetskis!!
Many countries and jurisdictions have done this, and guess what their tourist numbers have risen and statisfaction levels have increased
Turned the Corner, good god, what other country would tolerate the insane, violent assault on our tourist base by a completely out of control gang of thugs?
Inmates are running the asylum! Turned the Corner!! hahahahhahahahahahah
