Diving

The Bahamas is a world-famous diving resort near the Caribbean. Diving here is divided into blue hole diving, reef group diving, shark diving and shipwreck diving. The blue hole refers to the underwater cave, and Andrews is the center of diving in the blue hole, where diving does not require high technology.

Transportation and expenses: In terms of transportation, it takes a long time and costs a lot to travel from China to the Bahamas via London, England or new york, USA, which will undoubtedly become an obstacle for China tourists to travel. In this regard, the director of the Bahamas Tourism Bureau, Venice. When Woking visited Beijing last year, he said that the market for promoting the route was targeted at high-spending people, especially China tourists who went to Britain or the United States. In the Bahamas, there are commercial flights, charter flights, cruise ships and ferries between islands and reefs; Traffic on the island mainly includes taxis, car rentals, motorcycles and bicycles, and some islands have buses. Visitors with valid driver's license can rent a car and drive on the left. The maximum speed limit is 45 mph, and some designated streets have special speed limit requirements.

Bahamas is a world-famous holiday destination, so we can consider connecting with Cuba or Venezuela. However, because it is far from China, the transportation is inconvenient and the cost of organizing a group is high, the estimated price is around 3, yuan. In addition, the popularity of its tourism resources in China is relatively low, so the tourist market is not expected to be too big for the time being.
