I’m in the Bahamas today pinch-hitting for my good friend Rick DeLuca. Rick was unable to make a speaking engagement, so I’m filling in for him at the Atlantis resort in Paradise Island. This is a resort/casino in a lovely location in the Bahamas where the vast majority of its business comes from the U.S. Upon checking in, I asked the manager a few questions about how business was doing.
“Four months ago we were at 30% occupancy and all the restaurants were empty. Right now we’re at 90% and you better make reservations if you want to get a table!”
This might not be exhaustive research, but vacations in the Bahamas are not necessities, and yet this place is filled with families taking trips in November! For my business and your business, these are encouraging signs. Our job is to keep our head down working, and as our best efforts meet a better economy, we will be rewarded.
It’s a good life!
