"Our goal will be February. That could change, but that’s the goal for us. We feel very confident in our safety protocols," Baha Mar President, Graeme Davis told news outlet Tribune Business.
"It’s an opportune time to open. The US elections are hopefully going to settle down soon, and it certainly catches the festive season. But, most importantly, it’s that time when people are thinking about their winter break; thinking of February, and their children’s Spring Break."
