Nassau, Bahamas -  On Sunday, February 20th, the eve of the much-anticipated groundbreaking of the $3.4 billion Baha Mar resort that is expected to transform Cable Beach, officials and partners gathered for a celebratory dinner Sunday at the Sheraton Nassau Beach Hotel. More than 450 persons, including a high-ranking delegation from the Export-Import Bank of China and China State Construction Engineering Company, are scheduled to be on hand Monday for the official turning of the shovel on the 1,000-acre world of hospitality that is being billed as “the only development of its magnitude in the Western Hemisphere.”
