NASSAU, Bahamas — Minister of Tourism and Aviation Dionisio D’Aguilar told Guardian Business yesterday that the government is looking at a proposal for the redevelopment of Nassau’s cruise port, that was submitted during the tenure of the former Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) administration and recently resubmitted, the Nassau Guardian reported August 14.
D’Aguilar was responding to concerns that the government might have been looking at proposals for the redevelopment of the port without putting the job out to tender. However, he said the Free National Movement (FNM) government rejected this particular proposal when it came to office last year, and asked the entity to resubmit one that was more “beneficial” to the Bahamian people and more “transformative”.
According to D’Aguilar, the government is still in the very early stages of trying to understand what to do with the cruise port to improve the visitor experience. https://thenassauguardian.com/2018/08/14/govt-looking-at-proposal-for-redevelopment-of-nassaus-cruise-port/
