GRAND BAHAMA, BAHAMAS – A 60 percent jump in visitor arrivals up to November 2022, recorded in Grand Bahama, according to Deputy Prime Minister And Minister Of Tourism Chester Cooper who revealed the figures during the opening of the newly renovated domestic terminal Grand Bahama International Airport.
