Bahamas -

For travelers seeking a slower, more authentic slice of Caribbean life, the Out Islands offer untouched natural beauty.

The Bahamian economy is heavily dependent on tourism, which accounts for approximately 50% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and employs roughly half of the workforce. Each year, the country welcomes over one million stopover visitors and about three million cruise passengers, the vast majority of whom come from the United States. The financial services sector is another pillar of the economy, contributing nearly 20% of the GDP. The Bahamas has a tax-neutral environment, meaning there is no income, corporate, capital gains, or inheritance tax, making it an attractive destination for business and investment. Bahamas
