Bahamas real estate resort development report

The country has been urged to move away from its focus on traditional mega resort projects as an economic growth/development tool in the development of Bahamas real estate.

The Planning Abaco report, produced by students from US-based Andrews University's School of Architecture with the support of private sector professionals, explores Abaco real estate development, along with development of real estate in the other islands of the Bahamas.

New Providence, upon which the capital of Nassau sits, has been increasingly defined by its dysfunctional settlement patterns with tourists visiting resorts that are effectively “artificial islands” far removed from the people of the Bahamas and their culture, the report says

It suggests the Bahamas readopt the model of traditional resort settlements which typically feature large hotels, a closed environment, golf courses and so on for more eco-friendly hotels.

The report on Bahamas real estate development was sanctioned by Minister of the Environment Earl Deveaux.
