  ABOUT THIS EDITION OF BAHAMAS HANDBOOK
The Bahamas Handbook is well known as the best source of information on the country. Well researched and filled with comprehensive information, entertaining stories and colourful photos, it is a must-read for anyone interested in investing, doing business, living or travelling in The Bahamas.

In the 2006 edition, find out about Howard Hughes and his connection to The Bahamas. Read about the people who lived, and still live along the eastern foreshore, the new relationship between China and The Bahamas and the first blacks to arrive in the country.

Learn about a clever plan to sneak valuable cows into the US through Eleuthera and meet the Masons, a group of men who aren’t as mysterious as they seem. In the Family Islands section, find out why Inagua should be the hottest ecotourism destination in the region and learn about the self-sufficient Island School in Cape Eleuthera.

In the business section, look into the future of financial services, discover how hydroponics is boosting the agriculture industry, find out why exchange control is disappearing and learn about the top financial products for foreign investors. As always, this year’s Handbook covers developments in business, construction and the economy.

Government listings provide the most up-to-date information on the people in power, from Members of Parliament, the Senate and Cabinet to public service officials. And of course, the A-to-Z blue pages offer concise information on everything from accommodations and investment incentives to wildlife preserves.

All this and much more await you in the 2006 Bahamas Handbook.
