H/NAS/Baha Mar

·         They have stated that they are accepting new reservations for travel September 8, 2015 (released in the trade above) but are not yet relocating August and early September arrivals.  This decision will be revisited with them the first week of June as they are still working to determine the official opening date of the resort. 

·         We have closed their inventory out until January 16, 2015 to avoid taking any new reservations.  The opening of this complex has been delayed multiple times so far and until we have more concrete information we have elected not to take any additional bookings.  Relocations remain in effect only for June and July travel at this time.
