Why tourists come to the Bahamas?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Tourism provides jobs and income to the Bahamas.

Some advantages of tourism is , we have lovely beaches and we are one of the few places that stay warm during the winter and for people who are in snow al the time would spend as much money as they could to spend time in a place like the Bahamas. We have a tropical and relaxing feeling to our island and we also are very welcoming but w can also find some disadvantage in the Bahamas like the few unreseanable local workers and the trashdispue on the island. We alsao have a racing crime rate and a number of crimes that hapen at one time. We are not always tourist ready because with the economy going down , and the way we depend on the United states, we bearly have money to fix up and renovate our supplies and accomidations. -
