Learn about business opportunities on Grand Bahama
Island, one of the only
places on Earth where people are encouraged not to pay taxes.
When Christopher Columbus visited our island in 1492 he called it Gran Bajamar - 'Great Shallows,' from which the name Grand Bahama was derived. However, the name of the island's capital city, Freeport/Lucaya, is probably better known to the world today than the name of the island itself.
That's where this web site comes in. Grand Bahama Island is more than just Freeport/Lucaya, more than just casinos, resorts, and tropical entertainment. Outside the city is an entire island filled with gorgeous beaches, natural wonders, including one of the world's largest underwater cave systems, three national parks, and an incredible resource of marine life. There are small towns that seem to sleep in time, and they hide a history unlike any other in the Caribbean.
Most of all, the purpose of the site is to encourage you to get out and see the island as a whole, to meet its warm and friendly people and learn about all the options Grand Bahama Island offers. You can even encounter a local family at church and get married island-style!
