The Bahamas welcomed a record-breaking 12.5 million visitors in 2025, smashing 2024’s record and blowing past pre-pandemic 2019 figures by more than 72 percent, Minister of Tourism, Investments and Aviation Chester Cooper said yesterday.
But while sea arrivals shot up by 14 percent last year, air arrivals had a slight drop of 1.6 percent compared to 2024 figures.
Cooper, who is also deputy prime minister, touted the statistics as good news for The Bahamas, revealing visitor arrivals grew 11.4 percent year over year.
