Kerzner upset with Baha Mar hotel deal
Kerzner International executives and the Prime Minister are remaining tightlipped for the time being on the outcome of a meeting recently held between Atlantis owner, Sir Sol Kerzner, and Mr Ingraham in which the hotelier's concerns about the $2.6 billion Baha Mar development were discussed.
Confirming that a "closed door" meeting did take place recently between Mr Ingraham and Sir Sol, senior vice-president of public affairs for Kerzner International (Bahamas), Ed Fields, said the company had no comment it could offer on the outcome at this time.
Meanwhile, pressed about the result of the Sir Sol meeting and the Government's response to his concerns over the Baha Mar project - including the alleged breach of contract perpetrated by the Government through giving the Baha Mar developer a "more favourable" agreement than Kerzner International got when building Atlantis - the Prime Minister told this newspaper on Wednesday: "Stay tuned!".

New Brunswick Canada government looking to sell off hotel assets
For sale: Larry's Gulch, an exclusive salmon fishing retreat located on an eight-kilometre stretch of the Restigouche River. The property includes a series of cedar-shingled buildings and access to a famed fishing hole, where former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and former U.S. President George Bush Sr. each dipped a line. Asking price: $1.2 million. Potential buyers should contact David Alward, premier of New Brunswick.
At this point, the Alward government fervently insists there are no plans to sell Crown-owned corporations and properties. But recent actions reveal the Conservatives are at least curious about the public's appetite for privatization.

Creditors turn $555m Dubai Holding debt into new loan
Dubai and its government-linked companies have notched another in a series of financial restructurings, with a division of Dubai Holding agreeing with creditors to convert US$555 million (Dh2.03 billion) of debt into a new five-year loan.
Dubai Holding Commercial Operations Group (DHCOG), a unit of Dubai Holding that owns the Burj Al Arab hotel and the free-zones operator TECOM, reached the accord after months of negotiations with banks. The deal was announced in an e-mail late on Thursday. Dubai Holding is owned by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
The $555m revolving loan was originally due last July. With banks reluctant to refinance after the global financial crisis and DHCOG short of cash to repay the debt on schedule, however, the division received a two-month repayment extension as talks began about a restructuring. DHCOG lost about $6.2bn in 2009.
