Stressing the need for “the Bahamas to be on it’s ‘A-game'” if it is to win business in an increasingly competitive global gaming industry, a Baha Mar executive said that slow pace of reform is handicapping this nation’s casinos.
Robert Sands, Baha Mar’s vice-president of external and governmental Affairs, told Tribune Business the Government is “certainly not moving as fast as we’d like” when it comes to amending regulations governing gaming in this nation, and allowing casino operators to keep pace with developments making competitors to rival companies more attractive to gamblers.
Mr Sands, former president of the Bahamas Hotel Association, has been a long-standing advocate of reform of this nation’s gaming regulations, having spoken out in late 2009 on the need for “radical change” in this area if the Bahamas is to compete effectively against traditional and emerging gaming competitors.
