Bahamas

I have decided to do my research paper on the Bahamas. The Bahamas have always amazed me when I watch the commercials on TV. This summer I will be going to Atlantis in the Bahamas and I’m very excited to be able to visit there. I thought that the Bahamas would be perfect for my paper for the fact that when I do go down there I will know a lot more about the physical and human area’s of geography there.
The first part of my research was over the population. The population in the Bahamas is approx. 319,000 people. That estimate doesn’t include the amount of people that visit there each month for vacations, which the Bahamas is a very common spot for honeymoons. That means that the population is more then it already is with the people living there. The first settlement of the Bahamas was in 1648 by a group of English Puritans also known as the Eleutheran Adventurers. The first name for the island was Eleuthera but later changed to the Bahamas.
The economy in the Bahamas is based on the tourism. The more the people come to the Bahamas the more that the economy will raise. Tourism is 60% of the Bahamas and provides jobs for more than half the country’s workforce. The Bahamas is like any other place and has a highway throughout the islands. The highway is almost 1,700 miles long. Their biggest transportation is harbors and airports. As you do know, the Bahamas has a lot of tourism and they mainly come to the island by boats and airplanes.
The main recreational activities in the Bahamas would be the resorts. The main resorts in the Bahamas are Sandals and Atlantis. There is many activities that you can do there. For example some things are the waterslides, pools, golf courses, scuba diving, swimming with the dolphins and many m...

... flooded with the rising temperatures of the ocean.
The weather and climate in the Bahamas is a mild climate and the temperatures average around 72 degrees Fahrenheit. It is said that the most time to explore the Bahamas would be between September and May. The temperature then averages 70-75 degrees Fahrenheit. The rest of the year is normally warmer with high humidity in the summer months. The nighttime temperatures are generally 74 degrees Fahrenheit.
I really did enjoy researching the Bahamas. I learned a lot that I would have never know about it. I never realized that the Bahamas is a packed place with families living there plus on top of that all the tourism that they get there. Its very interesting that their tourism is making the island survive. After researching the Bahamas I would recommend people to go there and explore the cultural that they have there.

  • Land Development In Barbados

    1476 Words  | 3 Pages

    Barbados is located in the Lesser Antilles, and is the easternmost of the Caribbean SIDS. It is highly urbanized and has a population of around 300,000 and a landmass of 432 km2. (Rawlins, 2003); (World Health Organization , 2013; Henshall, 1966). The Caribbean is mostly comprised of SIDS and is the island group that is most predisposed to natural disasters and extreme weather events (Pelling & Uitto, 2001). The metamorphosis of the land development in Barbados is closely related to the islands socio-cultural history. On account of their colonial legacy, the Barbados was a rural landscape. The dominance of sugar as a mono crop, therefore, favoured the development of the interior agricultural land. It is only recently that the locus of development has shifted outwards to the coast in order to respond to the tourism demands (Scruggs & Bassett, 2013).
