The Bahamas is under-recovery from the effects of the hurricane Dorain that hit the Bahamas in September 2019, the nation is resurfacing from the effects of the hurricane and is emerging as a tourist heaven and now the Grand Bahama claims that over 84 per cent of its resorts are now open again and are ready to welcome tourists.
It is noteworthy that The Bahamas attracted around7 million tourists last year and has been having an increased number of tourists since the past decade.
The Bahamas is a group of 700 islands and has a variety of things to offer for the tourists from its multiple shores to the archipelago, from beautiful resorts to inexplicable adventures.
The Travel Agent Academy, working alongside The islands of Bahamas has created a Bahamas specialist training program which aims at giving knowledge about different islands and their stories which can be used by the travel advisors to boost their sales.
The course covers everything from the favourites such as Grand Bahama and Nassau to the out islands such as Bimini, Eleuthera and Harbour Island and Exumas. Alongside these, it also gives information about some off-grid islands such as Mayaguana, cat island and ragged island.
Every part of this vast nation has its own attractions like on one hand, Nassau/paradise has exquisite nightlife, casinos and junkanoo parades. Great Bahama has history and elegance to show. The cat island has a pink sand beach and a cuisine which is a bliss for the taste buds. The ragged island has earned itself a reputation of being a phenomenal spot for bird watching.
On the other hand, Mayaguana features some exotic experiences such as fly fishing and footprint-free beaches. Acklins and crooked island have a surreal tropical oasis.
All in all The Bahamas has a lot to both the tourists as well as the tourist advisors.
