The Bahamas has been prominently showcased as a prime investment destination for real estate, tourism, and sustainable development during a major Caribbean-focused investment conference held in Miami this month. The Agency Bahamas organized its annual ‘Exploring the Caribbean Conference’ under the theme ‘Gateway to Growth: Investing in the Future of the Caribbean,’ attracting over 100 developers, investors, and industry professionals from across the region.
The conference served as a strategic platform to expand development pipelines and investment opportunities specifically within The Bahamas. Key discussion areas included real estate development, tourism infrastructure, financial services, digital transformation, and sustainable investment practices.
Danny Lowe, Founder and Managing Partner of The Agency Bahamas, noted the growing international interest in Caribbean real estate, particularly within stable jurisdictions. ‘This highly successful conference enabled participants to reimagine existing opportunities and identify new pathways for growth,’ Lowe stated, emphasizing The Bahamas’ continuing appeal for lifestyle-oriented and long-term investments.
Public sector representatives detailed the nation’s investment framework during the event. Phylicia Woods-Hanna, Director of Investments, highlighted The Bahamas’ investor-friendly environment, supported by robust institutions and clear policy directives. ‘Through the Bahamas Investment Authority, we function as a one-stop-shop to simplify investment processes, evaluate major tourism and commercial projects, and assist both Bahamian and international investors in streamlining business operations,’ Woods-Hanna explained.
Jonathan Lord, Regional Manager of Yachting and Sports at the Ministry of Tourism, Investments and Aviation, identified yachting and sports tourism as emerging growth sectors with significant potential. ‘These represent powerful verticals where The Bahamas possesses natural advantages and considerable untapped potential,’ Lord noted.
The event also featured contributions from regional officials and private-sector leaders, including ministers from Turks and Caicos and executives from The Agency’s Caribbean operations. Organizers confirmed the conference reinforced The Bahamas’ status as a leading investment destination and supports ongoing initiatives to promote Bahamian real estate and development opportunities in global markets.
