NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Prime Minister Philip Davis making a 180 as it relates to supporting Royal Caribbean International’s Beach Club on Paradise Island.

Press Secretary in The Office of The Prime Minister, Clint Watson, explains, what was agreed to by Davis, is a different, more scaled down proposal than what he originally disapproved of when he was in opposition.

Watson says the beach club also has more benefits for Bahamians.

According to Watson, this project will be the first to allow the government to have an equity stake in an investment and ground is expected to be broken in the near future.
