Mid-sized and smaller boats will be a big boost for tourism<\/h3>\n

Some yachting business is returning to The Bahamas for Thanksgiving, though not in the numbers Association of Bahamas Marinas (ABM) President Peter Maury told\u00a0Guardian Business\u00a0yesterday he\u2019d like to see, adding that while bigger boats are coming in, the return of mid-sized and smaller boats will be the big boost needed for tourism.<\/p>\n

He said while the US Thanksgiving holiday is showing promise, there\u2019s no indication yet what the<\/p>\n

December holiday season will look like.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now, everything looks pretty good,\u201d said Maury.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got some big boats cleared into the country and I think we got a good shot at making some people happy.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not a whole lot of business, but it\u2019s business.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maury said a few big boats came into Nassau recently to receive their clearance, take on fuel and purchase groceries. They are now headed to the Family Islands with their guests.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got a couple of boats, it\u2019s not quite the numbers we were hoping for, but I\u2019m not complaining too much,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got about four big boats we put guests on today and they\u2019re going down to the Exumas or wherever they\u2019re going for the holidays. So, it\u2019s a start. We just need to keep progressing in that direction.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think if we can keep the boats moving\u2026 they\u2019re buying fuel, they\u2019re going to the grocery stores, spending money in the restaurants. Obviously, all of that helps to get the tourism industry back up.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Maury, business from mid-sized to smaller vessels trickle into communities, as those often call for their passengers to rent hotel rooms and vacation homes when they arrive at their island destinations.\u00a0He said the return of that business will be a good sign for the industry.<\/p>\n

There is misinformation about The Bahamas\u2019 opening status<\/h3>\n

Maury said while there is still a lot of misinformation about The Bahamas\u2019 opening status, the ABM and Ministry of Tourism are continually updating public information and setting the record straight.<\/p>\n

However, he said the best kind of marketing happens when guests go back home and recall their vacation in The Bahamas to others.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m doing whatever I can every day and obviously the Ministry of Tourism as well,\u201d said Maury.<\/p>\n
