You’re missing the fact that 3 other cruise lines what do the same thing. It’s doesn’t matter if it’s one day or three. The words ‘cruise ship’ are toxic to this type of clientele. This isn t apples and apples making your basket fuller- this apples and worms - one feeds off and destroys the other - it’s happened time again all over the world..
Doesn’t matter if 900 or 10 go what matters is the out islands will become synonymous with cruise ships an immediate turn off for current visitors - people that avoid Nassau for same reason...they are big spending repeat customers. If a large portion of that market base decide that it’s over (cruise ships are not for them) the revenue implications will be significantly adverse. Why would the b. Gov gamble with one of its jewels in its tourism product...why risk it.. if it isn’t broke why try to fix it...
Well I think hoteliers and people saying they already serve a different sort of visitor - cruise ship passengers will discourage those visitors who stay for longer and spend more in the community from coming.
Hmmm regatta doesn’t happen 16 times a year...this boat going to harbour island every week for 4 months...can you add it up now? And if you’ve ever attended a Briland regatta you’d know while fun it’s not exactly pretty - unless the market for crowded, garbage covered islands with people pissing and throwing up in behind every corner is in demand...
From what I m reading it’s not just the airport but the dump and well fields...if someone moves into your house and sets up a shop. This boy under your roof making money...but you been paying this kid to look after your property yet your drive ways a mess, the garbage piling up, the water don’t work and lights keep going out...? Meanwhile mister in your spare bedroom is using his business to finance bad decisions all over the neighborhood...? Hmmmm!? This girl know what they is talkin bout..
