It was my understanding that a professional operator was going to take , over. The baggage handler indicated that many of the poor performing retail stores had &#8220;connections&#8221; and there was some hesitance in making that change for fear of losing their locations.<\/p>\n<p>My poor wife&#8217;s mother had to go to one of those disgusting bathrooms at the airport and became very ill at the stench inside. My wife insisted that I contact my company, which is a member of the Florida Chamber (of Commerce), and e-mail an alert to all members of this situation; which I did.<\/p>\n<p>How can the tourist department of the Bahamian government allow this to continue?<\/p>\n<p>On another matter I was reading The Tribune and had to chuckle at the local government airline Bahamasair, which apparently closes their reservations at 4:30 pm! No wonder that outfit loses as much money as they do. What was even funnier was when Mr Woods was asked by a reporter from The Tribune about this policy he said: &#8220;We are going to change it to 7.30 pm!&#8221; Apparently they have never heard of a call centre!<\/p>\n<p>Thank goodness for a free and Democratic Press!<\/p>\n<p>By: JOHN SMESTAD<br \/>\nFlorida<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Visitor complains about filthy Nassau Airport and alerts others in the Florida Chamber of Commerce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"facebook_10223285771444175_51037792744":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-243230","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243230","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=243230"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243230\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=243230"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=243230"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=243230"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
