IN ORDER to encourage notable investments to drive the local economy, we must develop a new marketing message for the Bahamas--one that highlights the synergies of business and leisure opportunities.
As the debate about land usage and crown land continues, it is clear that our governments must seek to use the land to attract native (and foreign) investors to invest in boutique hotels, luxury apartments, housing estates, shopping centres and office premises. In promoting economic diversification and moving towards first-world developmental status, the government and all economic stakeholders throughout the archipelago should set aside industrial development zones that cater to blossoming economic ventures such as fisheries processing, information technology (IT), eco-estate projects, research and development, and so on.
