A new $2 billion resort in the Bahamas is expected to compete with the long-established Atlantis on Paradise Island.
The project represents the largest single-phase development in the Caribbean.
It represents an "unprecedented joint venture," said Hotel Online, that will create a "unique metropolis in its setting, design, operation and services."
Baha Mar Resorts Ltd. says it finalized an agreement with casino operator Harrah's Entertainment Inc. and hotelier Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. to build the resort.
Baha Mar will be a mixed-use project on a 1,000-acre site in Nassau.
"They have done a good job, and they are a big project sitting on Paradise Island," Baha Mar Resorts President Don Robinson told Reuters. "We provide an alternative in the Bahamas other than Atlantis."
"This ... will only add to the overall tourism draw to the region," said a spokesman for Atlantis.
Ahhhh yes...the age old question. "Who is TuesdaysTraveler.com?" The answer is quite simple really. We are who you make us. We are a small team of people who love to travel and thought there should be a site where others who enjoy traveling can share their own personal travel reviews and book their next adventure.
Let us bottom line this for you. We will only be as good as you make us. We want to be a true community "where travelers talk." Like that line? We do too...in fact we get a little misty eyed just thinking of the possibilities that this site has.
