 Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. Perry G. Christie issued the following statement regarding the passing of Mr. William Saunders:
“I wish to offer condolences in my capacity as Prime Minister and on behalf of Minister of Tourism and the Government and people of the Bahamas to the family of Mr. William “Bill” Saunders on his passing. Mr. Saunders who for many years was the owner and operator of Majestic Tours was a pioneer in the tourism industry for more than 50 years and through his prodigious efforts contributed to the growth of the industry.
It may be recalled that his company Majestic Tour was built from scratch and through hard work, careful planning and sound management grew to become one of the larger tour operators in The Bahamas. His company was a perfect example of private /public sector collaboration and co-operation as he always made himself available to accompany the Ministry of Tourism on its various promotional tours throughout the world. The late William Saunders was dedicated to the development of Tourism and through his strong personal relationship with suppliers all over the world, particularly in Europe, Canada and the USA, he brought thousands of visitors to The Bahamas thus bringing untold dividends to the tourism sector and those who work in it.
He was a loyal Bahamian who recognized that by building a strong company, he was helping to build a stronger Bahamas. His contribution to Tourism will long be remembered.
Once again, I wish to express condolences to his family and to the employees of Majestic Tours on his passing.”
