At what cost to us??
Say it ain’t so! Investors? I thought that the roof was caving in… One of the World’s largest hotel brands will debut in Bermuda…Imagine that
Amazing also, how an international brand can work with my Gov’t but our own residents will make attempts to tear them down at any costs? And watch closely these ones…. They’ll pop up on here shortly with the IF, AND and BUTS…Then say they care for BDA….What they really mean is that they care for themselves.. Bermuda is just the icing on their cake.
Still $45m in the hole and that’s not even including interest! Hahahaha!!
