Bahamas Hotel & Tourism Association

The tourism industry plays a most important role in the Bahamian economy and the hotel sector makes a major contribution in this effort. The Bahamas Hotel Association (BHA) represents the interests of the country's leading hotels and a large allied membership of companies that support the industry.

We have created this Web site to inform the public and prospective members about the BHA and to enhance the organisation by taking advantage of the many community features of the Internet.

The Bahamas must do more to maximize the value for money of its tourism brand through the improvement of its human capital if it is to compete with top regional competitors, according to a panel of local tourism and private sector stakeholders.

As The Bahamas wrestles with implementing a value-added tax (VAT) with ratings and lending agencies looking on, Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) Caribbean’s December Caribbean Economic Report points to a crucial consideration — the already relatively high expense of a vacation in the region.
