Ua pale aku kekahi luna mākaʻikaʻi kiʻekiʻe i nehinei i ka hoʻoholo ʻana o ke aupuni e hoʻolimalima ma kahi kokoke i ka hapalua kakini cays i hoʻololi ʻia i paradaiso mokupuni pilikino e nā moku holo moana nui.
Ma ka pane ʻana i nā hopohopo hou i hōʻike ʻia e kekahi poʻe kamaʻāina ʻo Abaco, ka poʻe i hauʻoli ʻole i ka hoʻolimalima ʻia ʻana o kahi moku ma waho o kēlā mokupuni iā Disney Cruises, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Luna Nui o Tourism Vernice Walkine ʻoiai ʻo ka manaʻo nui e kūʻai ʻia nā cays no ka loaʻa kālā hoʻokahi. , ʻo ka hoʻolimalima ʻana i nā mokupuni pilikino e pōmaikaʻi nui i ka ʻoihana helu ʻekahi o ka lāhui.
"No kekahi manawa i kēia manawa ua loaʻa iā mākou nā laina holo moku i hoʻolimalima maoli i nā moku kūʻokoʻa i loko o nā mokupuni o The Bahamas," wahi āna. “No laila ʻaʻole ia he mea hou iā mākou.
"ʻO ke kumu o kā lākou hana ʻana a me ke kumu e lawelawe ai i kā mākou pono no ka mea he laina holo moku nona nā kuleana e hoʻohana i kahi moku kūʻokoʻa ma The Bahamas, hiki iā lākou ke hoʻomohala no kā lākou poʻe kaʻa, kākoʻo maoli i nā moku holo Bahamas."
Wahi a Walkine, i ka manawa e hoʻolilo ai ka laina holo moku i nā miliona miliona i ka hoʻololi ʻana i kahi mokupuni, ʻoi aku ko lākou makemake e hoʻolilo iā Bahamas i ko lākou wahi hoʻokahi.
Ua hoʻohui ʻo ia i ka hapa nui o kēlā mau moku, e lawe ana i nā haneli he nui, kū i kahi awa ma New Providence a i ʻole Grand Bahama ma mua o ka kipa ʻana i ka mokupuni pilikino.
"He kanahiku pakeneka o nā moku holo moku e kāhea ana i The Bahamas he mau moku holo Bahamas wale nō," wahi a Walkine. "ʻAʻohe wahi ʻē aʻe i loaʻa kēlā ʻano kūpaʻa ma ka ʻaoʻao o nā laina holo moku no ka mea ʻaʻole lākou i loaʻa ka pōmaikaʻi kokoke i loaʻa iā mākou.
"ʻO ia ke ʻano o ka hāʻawi ʻana iā mākou i ko lākou kūpaʻa, no ka mea he waiwai kā lākou i ka ʻāina no laila e hoʻohana lākou a hoʻonui i kēlā. No laila, ʻo ia ka pōmaikaʻi maoli o kēlā mau laina holo moku e komo i nā mokupuni pilikino ma The Bahamas.
Wahi a nā luna mākaʻikaʻi, aia i kēia manawa he ʻelima mau moku e hoʻolimalima ʻia nei e nā laina holo moana nui: Castaway Cay, kahi i hoʻokele ʻia e ka Disney Cruise Line; ʻO Coco Cay, i hoʻokele ʻia e Royal Caribbean International; ʻO Great Stirrup Cay, i hoʻokele ʻia e Norwegian Cruise Line; ʻO Half Moon Cay, e lawelawe ʻia ana e Holland America Line a me Carnival Cruise Line; a me ke Kamāliʻiwahine Cay, i mālama ʻia e Princess Cruises.
Ua hoʻolaha ʻo Norwegian Cruise Line i ka pule i hala aku nei e loaʻa i kāna mokupuni pilikino, ʻo Great Stirrup Cay kahi hana hou he $20 miliona e hoʻopau ʻia ma ka hopena o 2011.
ʻO nā hana hou, e hoʻopau ʻia i ʻelua mau ʻāpana, e komo pū me ka ʻeli ʻana a me ka hoʻokumu ʻana i kahi ala komo hou no nā tenders, a me ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ke kīʻaha marina a me kahi e hōʻea ai me kahi hale hoʻokipa e lilo i kahua no nā pae ʻana a me nā uka hou.
Eia kekahi, e hōʻike ana ka mokupuni i nā cabanas mua kahakai i hoʻohui ʻia i nā moku moku holo moku ʻē aʻe i nā makahiki i hala.
Hōʻike nā ʻikepili hou loa i ka hōʻea ʻana mai o nā moku holo moana ma waena o Ianuali 2009 a me ʻOkakopa 2009 me 2,601,321 mau malihini kipa e hōʻea ana i nā kahakai Bahamian.
