Celebrating 50 Years of The Bahamas

The Bahamas is celebrating 50 years of independence! Beginning as a British colony, The Bahamas has evolved into a prosperous and diverse Caribbean nation. The people of The Bahamas are a unique mix of cultures and nationalities, including Europeans, Africans, and native Lucayans.

Over the last 50 years, The Bahamas has established strong economic and political ties with the United States, promoting the country as a premier tourist destination. There have been a number of notable events and achievements since 1973, such as the establishment of the Royal Bahamas Defense Force, the introduction of free public education, the launch of Lonely Planet publications for the island, and the country's hosting of international sporting events, to name a few.

As The Bahamas enters its next 50 years, may her future be filled with continued success and happiness.


Happy Independence Day Bahamas,
