AWARDS AND RECOGNITIONS

Freeport is commonly known for sun-and-fun, bluewater fishing, world-class diving, 5-star dining, shopping and, of course, casinos. It is also the Bahamas’ eco-tourism center, offering incredible cave systems, nature tours, national parks and botanical gardens.

Grand Bahama / Freeport has recently won several significant travel awards, including a “Top 5 Island Getaway” from Yahoo! Travel (easily beating Jamaica and Cozumel!) and, on 2 May 2008, a Best Destination Top 25 Latin America/Caribbean Destination by TripAdvisor® in the 2008 Travelers’ Choice® Destinations Awards by the good people at TripAdvisor (owned by Expedia). TripAdvisor’s sites make up the largest travel community in the world, with more than 25 million monthly visitors providing 15 million reviews and opinions. 

Determined by millions of travelers, the Travelers’ Choice Destinations Awards are unique because they single out not just popular places but truly exceptional places that enthrall travelers and keep them coming back.
