The Bahamas Ministry Of Tourism Capitalises On Growing Canadian Travel Demand

• The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism is making a strong push in Canada this summer, hosting key trade and media events in Montreal and Toronto to deepen partnerships and capitalise on growing interest from Canadian travellers seeking fresh, accessible, and authentic vacation options beyond traditional markets.
• Leading the mission, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Tourism, Investments & Aviation, the Honourable I. Chester Cooper, will spearhead high-level engagements with airline partners, tour operators, travel advisors, and media. The delegation also includes Director General Latia Duncombe and other senior tourism officials.
• Central to this growth strategy is the Ministry’s success in expanding air connectivity with Canada. Earlier this year, the Ministry announced significant boosts in flights from major Canadian cities to The Bahamas.
• Minister Cooper explained that “Canadian travellers are changing their travel habits, and with expanded airlift and improved accessibility, The Bahamas is well-positioned to capture this demand. This mission is focused on growing our visitor numbers and strengthening partnerships that deliver real economic benefits for our tourism industry.” He further explained that “Airline partners like Air Canada and Sunwing are responding to strong Canadian demand with expanded services. These improvements in accessibility directly enhance our ability to grow tourism business, bring new visitors, and create economic opportunities across The Bahamas.”
• New nonstop services from Ottawa and Halifax to Nassau will launch this winter, while existing routes from Toronto and Montreal to Nassau and Grand Bahama have been extended or made year-round. These increased flight options make The Bahamas more accessible than ever, supporting year-round travel to 16 unique island destinations.
