Message from The President of the BHTA re the COVID - 19 virus

As private sector representatives of the Tourism Sector, assigned to the National Coordinating Committee on COVID – 19 (NCCC), the BHTA will continue to provide input and insight on behalf of the tourism sector to help achieve the committee’s mandate;  to work together to combat this threat to our health, our economy, our way of life.  We are bolstered by the fact  that we are all together in this endeavor; that many brilliant people, agencies, institutions, organizations in every possible segment of the public and private sector, are coming together; collaborating to achieve a common end.

While the tourism industry has not been significantly impacted by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the Bahamas Hotel and Tourism Association (BHTA) said advanced hotel bookings have “slowed” following the global outbreak.
