For up-to-date information on the status of tourism facilities in The Bahamas, go to the Ministry of Tourism's site or visit CHTA's website which includes links to the Bahamas site and latest posts from airline sites and other destinations which were initially impacted by Dorian and are now fully operational.
CHTA is working with the Bahamas Hotel and Tourism Association and the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism to provide information on how you can help support the immediate needs of the people affected by Hurricane Dorian on Grand Bahama and Abaco where the devastation is considerable. We are also setting up several ways in which hotels, travel industry partners and friends of Caribbean tourism can support the essential long-term recovery needs of the affected areas and will begin to roll out those initiatives separately. Below are details on how you can support IMMEDIATE needs for cash and supplies.
