NASSAU, Bahamas — The Islands Of The Bahamas continues to dominate tourism in the Caribbean. So says Caribbean Journal, which bestowed on the destination two key awards in its Caribbean Travel Awards 2018 : Best Caribbean Destination and Best Caribbean Tourism Minister. Caribbean Journal is the world’s largest website covering Caribbean travel and tourism.
Editor and Publisher of Caribbean Journal Alexander Britell said, “The region’s tourism offering has never been more diverse or more energetic. It’s a message to the world that the Caribbean isn’t just back — it’s better than ever.”
But it is better in The Bahamas, and according to officials, the destination had the most impressive growth in the region.
“While several destinations have had particularly strong growth in 2018, none has been more impressive — or more broadly impactful — than The Bahamas,” officials said on the destination’s website.
“That’s because while the destination has seen surging airlift growth (and a powerful increase in arrivals, thanks to the full-fledged debut of the Baha Mar mega resort), this year has seen something unique for the destination: universal growth. That means growth that has been felt beyond the traditional pole of Nassau and New Providence. Indeed, islands across the Out Islands (and, crucially, Grand Bahama) are seeing strong growth — a clear sign that The Bahamas’ tourism growth is being realized across 700 islands and cays. And that’s a very powerful thing.” http://www.tourismtoday.com/news/islands-bahamas-snags-two-top-best-caribbean-awards
