GRAND BAHAMA, BAHAMAS – Following years of delays and economic uncertainty, Grand Bahama is poised for a potential turnaround.

On Thursday, May 15th, the government is expected to sign the Heads of Agreement for the redevelopment of the Grand Lucayan Resort, a move being touted as a game-changer for the island’s economy.

The signing ceremony is expected to be attended by Prime Minister Philip Davis and other high-level officials.

Managing Director of the Pelican Bay Hotel, Magnus Alnebeck, says the development couldn’t come at a better time.

He says the project is expected to bring a number of spin-off opportunities.

Alnebeck believes the momentum from the resort project could also push forward another critical infrastructure upgrade: a new airport for the island.

And with Thursday fast approaching, he says hotel bookings have already increased.

Overall, Alnebeck says the Heads of Agreement signing is a positive move for the island, and he’s optimistic about its future.
