And despite misconceptions, Moxey says there is lots to do on the Northern Island.

Manager for Grand Bahama’s tourism office, Nuvie Chotoosingh, says the inaugural arrival marks the culmination of months of hard work that by executive team to ensure that Grand Bahama is welcoming airlift out of major hubs.

He says more airlift is on the way in the coming weeks.
