GRAND BAHAMA, BAHAMAS – NETO Bahamas, formally known as the National Eco-Tour Operators Co-Operative Ltd., was founded out of necessity when small Grand Bahama tour operators needed to pool resources to access the tourism market.
President Rudy Sawyer says the cruise industry’s insurance requirements forced small operators to find a collective solution.

“This was a matter of survival. We had to come together to make it affordable.”
Since its inception, the co-operative has expanded across the islands, helping small operators benefit from rising tourism numbers.
Sawyer points to major developments, including Disney’s project in Eleuthera, as evidence of the group’s success.
He says while tourism growth is positive, its benefits are not always evenly felt.
