| Bahamas is back!

THE Bahamas’ Minister of Tourism Chester Cooper has signalled cruise tourism numbers are nearing pre-pandemic levels once more.

Cooper noted the Bahamas has been seeing up to six cruise ships in the harbour at a time of late.

He said the addition of Royal Caribbean International’s Wonder of the Seas, now the largest cruise ship in the world, will put those tourism numbers over the top.

“We anticipate that at the end of the year…we are going to rival pre-pandemic levels,” Cooper said.
