News Concepts For Bahamas Tourism
The Bahamas government has come up with all sorts of hair-brained ideas to promote our dwindling tourism industry.
They were going to promote "religious tourism" until they realised that religion in the Bahamas is basically a scam, with most pastors using their pulpits as a way to enrich themselves at the expense of their congregations. Look at Neil Ellis and Kaz Brozozog for example.
Then, there was going to be an emphasis on "black tourism" but they realised that black Bahamians treat other black people like dirt, especially Haitians and Jamaicans. Clearly, that wasn't going to work.
However, I've got an idea that is sure to work because it plays on the Bahamas' strengths.. financial crimes.
Financial scams are what we do best in the Bahamas. Not a week goes by that we don't see an international news story about some financial scandal in the Bahamas.
From hiding terrorist's funds - to money laundering - to ponzi schemes - to investors getting ripped off - to financial companies not following regulations... it just goes on, and on, and on, like an evil Energizer bunny.
BTW - The Bahamas only has about 300,000 people. I mean how many financial crooks can a little third world banana republic have? Probably the same number as we have lawyers/politicians.
And what does the government do about this? Nothing! They feign regulation and sign treaties, but on the home front they do nothing but protect their own little band of financial crooks.
So, let's do what we do best by promoting financial crime tourism. Criminals from all over the world could come here to launder money, set up ponzi schemes, rip off investors... and enjoy the sun, sand and sea while doing so.
What?
Sorry, my editor just reminded me that we already have criminals from all over the world coming here to do just that.
Oh, well, I guess the government beat me to this great idea.
