Athol Is. activists complain
Concerned Paradise Island tour operators have requested a meeting with Minister of Financial Services and Investments Vincent Peet in a bid to protect Athol Island and its surrounding sea gardens.In a letter faxed to Minister Peet, tour operators said they turned to the government official after they were told that the Energy and Environment Ministry had forwarded to Mr Peet's ministry a final Environmental Impact Assessment on Athol Island, the site of a new golf course for the third phase of the Atlantis development.
"We urgently request a meeting to have our minds put at rest that our government will make the right decision to save Athol Island, protect our coral reefs and the livelihood of all the tour operators," the letter read. "Do we have to remind all our Ministries that the number one industry in The Bahamas is Tourism?"
The Athol Island controversy was sparked earlier when word got out that work on the proposed golf course for the island would begin before the end of the year.
Kerzner says Bahamas project gives it edge for Sentosa resort bid
BAHAMAS : US resort operator Kerzner International is counting on its success in the Bahamas to tip the balance in its favour in the race for the Sentosa integrated resort. The Kerzner-run Atlantis resort was seen as instrumental in pulling the Bahamas out of a six-year-old recession and turning tourism into a key pillar of the economy. Kerzner, together with CapitaLand, is one of the key contenders for the Sentosa integrated resort. It believes that its success in the Bahamas may give it the much-needed edge against rival bidders. There are three key similarities between the Atlantis and the upcoming Sentosa integrated resort. The Atlantis resort is built on the small Paradise Island, very much like Sentosa, and also connected to the mainland via a bridge. Secondly, the casino is a very small component of the resort, occupying 55,000 square feet or just slightly more than 1% of the existing property.Thursday August 31, 2006 - 13:55 EST

One Year After Hurricane Katrina Devastated the Gulf Region, Displaced Children and Dolphins Connect for the Future
It has been one year since Hurricane Katrina ripped through the Gulf States and changed the lives of thousands of families. It has also been one year since the former Gulfport, Mississippi residents of the destroyed Marine Life Oceanarium, known the world over as the "the Katrina Dolphins", were rescued from the Mississippi Sound by their trainers and dozens of volunteers. Of the many who were relocated after the storm, seventeen children and their families came together at the dolphins' new home, Dolphin Cay at Atlantis, Paradise Island resort in The Bahamas, to adopt the Katrina Dolphins, during what was both a moving reunion and unforgettable experience. These special dolphins have become a symbol of hope, having adapted wonderfully, living in their new home on Paradise Island in The Bahamas and exploring a new life.
