Tourism has been the vehicle which has enabled The Bahamas to make the transition from a simple economy based on fishing, privateering and a failing sponge industry, to a sophisticated modern economy. Tourism, accounting for as much as 70% of national income, 50% of total employment and 40% of government revenue, is the bedrock of the Bahamas economy. For five decades, The Bahamas has been the regional model in tourism. This publication attempts to trace the development of tourism from the arrival of the first visitor, Christopher Columbus, in 1492 up to the beginning of the 21st century. The story of Bahamas tourism is presented against the background of world tourism and regional trends. It highlights the marketing and product initiatives of outstanding visionaries who have led the industry since the establishment of the Bahamas Development Board and the Ministry of Tourism. It also discusses the outlook and challenges facing the region in the next decade as well as the socio-economic impact of tourism on the local community, including some of the negative impacts suffered in the Bahamas as a result of the concentration on tourism as the main industry. Comprising 12 chapters and 12 appendices with comprehensive statistics as well as a Glossary of Travel Terms, it is the most complete documentation of Bahamas Tourism ever written. It is illustrated with over 300 photographs. It is no doubt the most authoritative publication of its kind. "Mrs. Cleare has chronicled with details the effect on the Bahamian community of the income from tourism which over the years has become the major industry of The Bahamas, and has from being viewed with skepticism by the greater Caribbean been embraced with regional enthusiasm. A unique feature of the History of Tourism is Ms. Cleare's list of those whom she calls Tourism Giants and Stalwarts of the Twentieth Century, who contributed to the place which the industry holds in the economy, its social life and its politics. Mrs. Cleare has made a major contribution to the History of The Bahamas for which we all should thank her." -Hon. Paul L. Adderley-

BAHAMA SAGA is a chronicle of the human presence on a unique archipelago of the Americas. The story takes its title from a few invented characters and the romantic and beautiful country of seven hundred sub-tropical islands. The confetti of Bahamian islands has, at different times, been a locus for the three races of the planet. After the original Amerindian inhabitants perished, the Bahamas remained uninhabited for nearly 150 years until people from Bermuda - largely of English and African stock - re-settled the islands commencing in 1648. Not long afterwards many more Africans were brought to the Bahamas in bondage. Their descendants today hold the destiny of the islands in their hands. The geographical location of the Bahamas allowed the islands to play a brief, but important part in the history of the modern world. The eastern islands protrude out into the Atlantic Ocean so as to make them one of the nearest parts of the Americas to Europe and it was here that an explorer from Europe made a historic landfall at what, for him at least, was a 'New World. It was just over five hundred years ago that Christopher Columbus in 1492 sailed the ocean blue. The islands on the western side are a mere 50 miles from the United States. Throughout time, events on the North American continent have had a major affect upon the history of the Bahama Islands as this well-written and intriguing story relates.
