\"\"Water sports operators are already thinking about what will become of them when Baha Mar is completed, one seasoned vendor told Tribune Business yesterday, while Baha Mar officials say they haven\u2019t given the activity end of the development any thought as yet.<\/p>\n

Renwick Rolle, president of JR Action Water Sports, said he and the other vendors who service the Baha Mar properties, are hoping for the government to give the project a green light.<\/p>\n

According to him, if the project can generate the kind of occupancies its developers hope to achieve, it will be an amazing increase in business for the 10 or more jetski, parasail and boat rental operators who make their living on Baha Mar\u2019s shores.<\/p>\n

Robert \u201cSandy\u201d Sands, vice president of external affairs for Baha Mar, said while his organisation has not yet broached the issue of the vendors as a part of the development\u2019s final product, \u201cwe will certainly have to address it\u201d.<\/p>\n

Mr Sands said Baha Mar has thus far only focused its resources on the developmental side of the project, which could get started by year end.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe haven\u2019t given that (water sports) any thought as yet,\u201d he said. \u201cWe haven\u2019t been focusing on the operations side of the new Baha Mr as yet.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
