The Tourism Development Corporation is charged with developing the local tourism product by enhancing, rejuvenating and diversifying the touristic offerings. Our mandate is to create sustained linkages and collaborative partnerships that will enhance the visitor experience, reduce economic leakage, increase economic viability, and ultimately grow the Bahamian economy.

Our success is realized when your business grows and expands and The Bahamas regains its position as the benchmark for tourism development.
The Tourism Development Corporation proudly presents the W.I.N. Entrepreneurial Summit, a free high-impact event designed to empower Bahamian entrepreneurs and innovators across the blue, orange, and green economies.
This dynamic summit brings together marine and maritime enterprises, cultural and creative businesses, entrepreneurs, and environmentally focused innovators for strategic conversations, practical insights, and real growth opportunities within The Bahamas’ tourism sector.
The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, Investments and Aviation is seeking to engage a retail management company to bid for management of its “islands of The Bahamas” Logo Store located in the Nassau Cruise Port. The selected company will also be responsible for the merchandising and sourcing of retail products.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Tourism, Investments and Aviation Chester Cooper yesterday tabled the Tourism Development Corporation of The Bahamas Bill, 2023 which among other things, seeks to establish a tourism development fund.
The bill codifies the Tourism Development Corporation to be the primary entity concerned with resilient and sustainable tourism development in The Bahamas. Its board would control the fund.
The fund would receive monies from parliamentary allocations, fees, monies charged on tourism activities and services in respect to the act, income from investments of the corporation, grants, donations, bequests or gifts, and contributions from certain tourism-related enterprises.
