| Bahamas, Caribbean Travel & Tourism Search
The Bahamas is an independent nation of the West Indies and it is located in the Atlantic Ocean, East of Florida in the United States. This unique island has a subtropical climate, moderated by the Gulf Stream, and no wonder that the tourism industry in the Bahamas is second to none. Actually, tourism alone accounts for more than 60% of GDP of Bahamas, though offshore banking has also gained some weight in the recent past.
The major attractions of this island are the places of worship, which are more than anywhere in any other place of the world! If you are the person who likes to know about the various faiths of the world, this is the place for you! It is said that there is something for everyone in Bahamas, as Bahamanian culture is a hybrid of African, European and other indigenous forms and the cultural impacts of African rhythmic music can be felt in the name of junkanoo.
The climate of Bahamas is also good but this is somewhat dangerous in the summers, as hurricanes pass near or through the islands. Though visitors can spend their winters here overviewing the panoromic views of the beaches and tapping their feet to the heartful beats of the music.
