By LEANDRA ROLLE Tribune Staff Reporter lrolle@tribunemedia.net THREE years after Hurricane Dorian devastated Abaco and Grand Bahama, Prime Minister Phillip “Brave” Davis admitted that progress to have the islands restored to normalcy has been slow and not enough has been done to assist residents with rebuilding efforts. Mr Davis said that there were too many bureaucratic issues hindering restoration efforts and committed his administration to breaking those barriers down. His comments came during the Hurricane Dorian Memorial Service in Abaco yesterday, which marked the third anniversary of Dorian’s landfall. The near four-hour long event - which featured tributes, musical performances and prayers - was attended by a large government delegation made up of the majority of the Davis-led Cabinet as well as members of the opposition, including former Prime Minister Dr Hubert Minnis.

ATLANTIS TO ‘MODERATE’ CRUISE VISIT TOTAL By NEIL HARTNELL Tribune Business Editor nhartnell@tribunemedia.net
ATLANTIS plans to “moderate” the number of cruise passenger day visitors to 60-70 percent of pre-COVID levels, it was disclosed yesterday, with the resort “definitely” set to meet or exceed its 2022 financial targets. Vaughn Roberts, senior vice-president of government affairs and special projects, said the Paradise
ATLANTIS Island mega property has taken “a strategic decision” to control this visitor segment because it had “really impacted the resort experience” for actual guests
staying at Atlantis. The disclosure came as the resort sees “no slowdown in booking pace” through the 2023 first half, which is when it expects to fully return to pre-COVID business volumes. And Mr Roberts said management was “very confident” that Atlantis will outperform budget goals for this calendar year provided there is no major hurricane strike on The Bahamas.
