The PLP and FNM could not see any wisdom in empowering Bahamians to become the largest stakeholders of our economy. Make no mistake, decades of corruption, stupidity, and mismanagement, coupled with Dorian and COVID-19 has laid our country bare in neck-deep do-do!
After decades of Bahamians being denied a piece of the tourism and economic pies by successive governments, their asinine stupidity and insistence on giving everything lock, stock, and barrel, to foreigners have finally come full circle to bite them squarely, deep in the arse!
Only a blind person couldn't see 3 months ago that small hotels and airb&b's would become the catalyst to jumpstarting the tourism industry, regardless if Trump shut down the US economy or not to get Covid-19 under control. Obviously, tourism could only start as a trickle, not a gush, which translates to small hotels and airb&b's "if anything" at all.
Now, the very same small hotels and airb&b's that get no government incentives, and the big hotels wanted to destroy, are now being relied upon to jump-start the tourist industry.
The fact that we will have no more lockdowns is not because we don't need them, but because the government is broke and cannot afford to feed and care for folks under further lockdowns.
MOT "VIP" restrictions are consistent with Jamaica's tourist Covid-19 policy. Jamaica tried a "resilient corridor" concept allowing visitors to traverse certain portions of resort areas. That failed, and they reverted to VIP as well.
The government needs to face the reality that the only possible solution to our tourist_Covid-19 problem, is to implement the new $5.00, 15-minute COVID test, have tourist sign COVID-19 wavers, and let them vacation freely as normal. Nothing else will work.

As "Amused" put it, who wants to vacation in place for 14 days? So, stay in one place for 14 days. Th e small hotels will have little or no amenities. So, let me see, you pay thousands of dollars to quarantine for your entire trip (as most people won't be here more than 14 days). All your meals have to be ordered and delivered to you. You get thr opportunity of looking out a window from time to time. Sounds great!
