MISSION STATEMENT
To preserve and promote the sustainability of water based Bahamian Excursion Operators.
OUR MANDATE
To advocate for a business friendly environment for Bahamian operators in which all persons engaged in excursion based commercial activity on the waters are compliant with Bahamian law, whether foreign or Bahamian. This is accomplished by ensuring Bahamian businesses are operating on a level playing field with non-Bahamian counterparts, local laws are enforced, and Government procedures are streamlined. We believe that while The Bahamas is much more than sun, sand and sea, our majestic waters have always been a source of economic bounty, and the participation by Bahamians must be fostered and encouraged.
OUR GOALS
- Advocate for all licenced water based Bahamian excursion operators
- Support the growth of the industry for Bahamian participation
- Assist members with access to information and legislation regarding industry requirements
- Level the playing field between licenced Bahamian operators and non-Bahamian counterparts
- Work with the Government to ensure only licenced operators engage in the business to ensure the safety of crew and guests
- Serve as liaison between the sector, the Government and civil society
- Promote a safe sector for operators and visitors
