Mario Bowleg stated ( about Paradise Island ) : “During the month of November, I do not know if persons are aware but The Bahamas is now becoming the greatest and the biggest sporting destination for basketball at Thanksgiving. There will be about 40 NCAA teams in The Bahamas between New Providence, Paradise Island and Bimini. The ministry will also be looking to have a Thanksgiving basketball tournament in Grand Bahama with American high school teams. We are going to continue to add to that. We are happy to advance and enhance our ‘Sports in Paradise’ brand through basketball,”

Dawn Staley said ( about Paradise Island ) : “This was great. The atmosphere was great. To have us here for a women’s tournament – the first time that we’re having a women’s tournament here, is a great feeling,” “We’ve been missing out on this kind of atmosphere for 10 years. It’s good to measure yourself against the best, and to be here is a great feeling. Paradise met my void, and that was a great experience”

Dionisio D Aguilar said ( about Paradise Island ) : “You would have heard of a project on Paradise Island that Royal Caribbean is looking at too, once again in a population center, to try and impact as many Bahamians as possible. And while there may be naysayers that say ‘oh why aren’t Bahamians doing that’, they had to buy the land for $50 million-plus, they have to build an attraction, probably another $50 million-plus, so that’s $100 million,” “And I tell everybody we need projects of scale in Nassau to accommodate these 10,400 passengers a day. And right now, the only other project of scale is Atlantis and that is not owned by Bahamians. So that is what we are attempting to do”
