Tourism is Alive and Well in The Islands of The Bahamas

Posted - March 9, 2020

Nassau and Paradise Island were not impacted by Hurricane Dorian, with the majority of the resorts, hotels, restaurants and tour operators operating normally since the hurricane, according to Bahamian officials.
   
Although locals are still working in the Abaco islands as the recovery process continues, the other Out Islands are open and operating as usual. In Grand Bahama, many of the resorts reopened in October and November. Grand Bahama International Airport resumed international service in November and has also reopened to cruise line passengers. Cruise ships have resumed calling on the island with regular frequency. In 2020, Celebrity Cruises offers two- and four-night cruises from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, while Carnival Cruise Line offers regular departures to the Bahamas from Miami, Florida.
  
And there always seems to be something new going on in the Bahamas. Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line has introduced its popular cruise and stay program to Nassau. Departing from the port of West Palm Beach, passengers can choose from a two- or six-night stay at participating resorts in Nassau, including SLS Baha Mar, The Melia Nassau Beach All-Inclusive, and Comfort Suites Paradise Island.
  
Situated just 55 miles off the coast of Florida, the Bahamas are also an easy flyaway escape from North America. United Airlines will begin offering Saturday-only non-stop service between Denver and Nassau beginning March 7 and continuing through August 15.
  
There are many great reasons to visit the Bahamas – world-class fishing, diving, boating and thousands of miles of spectacular water and beaches. In fact, The Islands Of The Bahamas placed 10th in Condé Nast Travelers’ 2019 Readers’ Choice Awards for the Top 10 Islands in The Caribbean & Atlantic. Despite the trying hurricane season, The Islands continue to be a leader in Caribbean travel, and they warmly welcome visitors.
