What about the casino? The hotels are critical but so are the casinos. When I first returned from college we had two casinos in operation giving night life through the casino shows and attract visitors to play in a tropical atmosphere. Now there are none, what is being done concerning this?
Slippery slope but if you do it for one resort it has to be done for all. Pressure has to be exerted on all resort investors to keep the properties presentable or open for business. Xanadu property and Princess Properties must not be neglected either. Grand Lucayan is important but all the large resorts are vital for Grand Bahama's rebirth. This island once had over 6,000 rooms and two casinos to provide entertainment to the tourist be gambling or casino shows. Night life is missing for the island even though you have day time activities. I do remember the drain that was on the Bahamian economy when the government had assets that it couldn't sufficiently operate or manage. To repeat this mistake should always be the last course of action for any government be it PLP, FNM or DNA for the Bahamian people..
We have already reach the "point of no return" just after the New Year. The Grand Lucayan sale has been discussed to death just like the Port Authority family feud. Freeport, in fact Grand Bahama, has been on life support so long that pulling the plug would be a mercy killing right now. Rebuilding means destroying and changing everything that Grand Bahamians are use to which can be hard to swallow but to keep up with the world this has to be done. Hurricane Matthew was a death blow to Grand Bahama - finishing the work done previously by Hurricanes Frances, Jeanne and Wilma. Grand Bahama is like a phoenix waiting for the fire to be lit but time has run out all parties if nothing done soon. Grand Bahamians are deserting the island due to lack of jobs. Depopulation is a reality for the island. We are no longer the 2nd city or Magic city, we have become a Family island. The ship has sunk due to neglect by all powers - government & Port Authority
