Good old PLP doing everything they can to make the Bahamas as uncompetitive as possible.
They honestly seem to think that tourists don't have other options. They may not be quite as good, but if they cost half the price, where are people going to go on vacation?

positive economic impact is that there is more money distributed amongst workers rather than employers gaining larger profits. Which is to say the common person should have more spending money (or atleast enough to cover current expenses, especially since Cost of living goes up, and now VAT on top of that). As for the Bahamas being competitive??? It's not $ value that makes bahamas competative, as it is if it is not the most expensive vacation destination in the region, it is absolutely amongst the most expensive already. People come here because it's close, and it's an English speaking country that is NOT Jamaica. With the crime situation, hand in hand with so many other issues here currently, the competitiveness of our geography may not be enough. Cuba is also not Jamacia and truss me people will go there instead. Canadians have long favoured Cuba over Bahamas due to it being cheap as hell

If Atlantis can't make it because it has to now pay a measly $210.00 per week to its lowest paid employees, then I would suggest they shut the place down! What good does a big resort do for anyone if it needs to starve it's employees to survive?

What information did he supply to suggest positive economic benefit?
Shane Gibson speaks on a lot of issue it seems but never really delivers support.
