It’s one of the wider region’s most popular destinations, and the Bahamas remains a tourism power in the Caribbean. That’s because the Bahamas isn’t just a single destination — it’s a multitude of destinations from the urban appeal of downtown nassau to remote, exotic getaways like Cat Island and Andros.  So with our inaugural Bahamas Travel Awards, we’re celebrating the best and brightest in the 700-island destination’s travel industry, from the best hotels to the hotelier of the year. Here are the first-ever Bahamas Travel Awards.
