Support The Bahamas

95% of the 700 Islands in the Bahamas are totally unaffected by Hurricane Dorian and are as beautiful as ever.

On September 1 2019, Hurricane Dorian gravely affected The Northwestern area of The Bahamas which included the Abaco Islands and Grand Bahama Island.  Hurricane Dorian was the strongest hurricane in history to hit the Bahamas with winds up to 185 miles per hour or 295 kilometers per hour. But what the media did not mention was that 95% of the 700 islands in the Bahamas were completely unaffected and are seriously in need of our support.

The 700 islands of the Bahamas are spread over 100,000 square miles of ocean and are home to 400,000 people. The distance from the most northerly points of the Bahamas which include the affected Abaco Islands and Grand Bahama Island to the most southerly point of the Bahamas which include Duncan Town, Crooked Island and Pirates Well is over 600 kilometers. It is important to understand the geography of the region and the huge distances between the north and south islands so that potential visitors will feel secure in booking a trip to the Bahamas for their vacation this year.

For those looking to travel to the Bahamas, the good news is that almost every airport is open for both commercial and private flights except for those in Abaco and Grand Bahama. “All other airports throughout The Bahamas are open and operational,” the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism said in a statement. Check out our guide on getting to the Bahamas.

Following on from the terrible devastation of hurricane Dorian, many people are thinking about how they can help this extremely beautiful part of the world. There are two ways that we can help.

The first is by keeping tourism flowing to the unaffected areas. Tourism is by far the most important factor to the Bahamian economy, and without tourists, it could spell further disaster for the area.  Now more than ever, The Bahamas needs our support.
