Royal Caribbean exec: Homeporting will help reinvigorate Bahamian economy
NASSAU, BAHAMAS Calling homeporting a “win-win” for the country, president of the Bahamas Hotel and Tourism Association Robert “Sandy” Sands this week lauded the potential of Royal Caribbean’s plans to homeport in Nassau this summer.
Sands declared it would boost airlift, help fill hotel rooms and provide opportunities for professional services, jobs, vendors and an uptick to a comeback economy.
“We welcome homeporting; this is very good news for The Bahamas,” said Sands, who was speaking on the inaugural ZNS-TV and radio show Direct Talk with host David G Wallace.

NASSAU, BAHAMAS The Royal Caribbean Group and Access Accelerator Small Business Development Centre have launched a financing program to support micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSME) in the tourism sector of The Bahamas.
Royal Caribbean Group will provide a $250,000 donation to the Access Accelerator to establish a fund that will soon be providing small businesses on Grand Bahama, the Berry Islands and New Providence the necessary financing for expansion of the Bahamian tourism product.
Access Accelerator Executive Director Davinia Bain said: “This partnership has the potential to be the largest linkage between Bahamian MSMEs and the global market. It gives local entrepreneurs direct access to expand their offerings to cater to millions of visitors who vacation in The Bahamas, including those sailing with one of the largest cruise companies in the world.”
