20, 2007
Ginn Resorts today announced the purchase of Old
Bahama Bay Resort & Yacht Harbour located at
West End, Grand Bahama Island. The agreement puts
Ginn in control of the resort's operations, sales
and development.
Old
Bahama Bay is a 228-acre resort community featuring
home sites, 73 luxury rooms and suites, and a 63-slip
marina. It abuts the property being developed into
Ginn sur Mer.
Resort
amenities and services include: an oceanfront swimming
pool, dockage at the state-of-the-art marina, fitness
facility, casual and fine dining venues, spa services,
complimentary water sports and snorkel trails. Ginn
will also assume responsibility of the resort's
175 employees.
"The
addition of Old Bahama Bay will add great value
to the future development of Ginn sur Mer,"
said Bobby Ginn, President and CEO of Ginn Resorts.
"This management agreement allows us to further
deliver on our promise to create not only a world-class
resort destination, but a revived economy for the
West End community."
The
purchase of Old Bahama Bay may result in a modification
of Ginn Resort's construction plans. Originally,
the company had planned to develop several different
areas of Ginn sur Mer simultaneously. Now it will
likely begin developing the project in the location
of the Old Bahama Bay and begin moving east.
