Mélange Travel & Lifestyle Magazine January 2020 | Page 6

The Editor says . . . We welcome the year 2020, and look forward to the many exciting things that will be unfolding during this decade in various fields, including the fields of technology, medicine and of course, travel. We recently read about a Dementia prevention vaccine that is now ready for human trials, and are pleased to know that these and so many other solutions for life’s pressing concerns are going to be making their appearance in this decade. So exciting . . . Exciting too, is the reminder that the Bahamas is open for business after 2019’s devastating Hurricane Dorian, which severely affected two of the country’s northernmost islands, Grand Bahama and Abaco. It is heartening to know that Grand Bahama Island is now rebounding, with visitors already arriving by cruise ship and ferry, and many of its major hotels and attractions are open, so too is its international airport. The Abacos face a longer road to recovery, but the country remains resilient and steadfast in its commitment to help the island rebuild. Travellers are encouraged to plan a visit to the Islands of the Bahamas in 2020 and take a trip to more than one island. Among other things, they offer world-class fishing, diving, boating and thousands of miles of the earth’s most spectacular water and beaches. With over 700 islands and cays, and 15 of the 16 unique island destinations open for business, families, couples and adventurers are invited to explore all the islands have to offer. Familiarize yourself with them by visiting www.bahamas.com, Facebook, YouTube or Instagram and discover why It’s Better in The Bahamas. Happy reading!
