Next Step? Travel Advisory!
The Bahamas may be headed towards a Travel Advisory from the United States Government due to violence directed towards foreigners in the island nation. That would, of course, be the end of the Bahamas economy as the country relies heavily on tourism for its bread and butter.
Yesterday, a long time resident of Cat Island, an American woman was murdered after being mutilated about the body, including her breasts and genital area, while she was still alive.
This is the latest in a long string of crimes against foreigners that has gone unpunished in The Bahamas.
For a country dependent on foreigners visiting their islands for tourism, the Bahamas appears to have a problem ensuring that crimes against foreigners are properly dealt with. Perhaps this is why stay-over visitors to the Caribbean islands are increasingly choosing other countries for their vacations.
