Freeport, Bahamas

Freeport is a city and free trade zone on the island of Grand Bahama Island. The city of Freeport has grown to be the second most populous city in The Bahamas (26,910 in 2000) after the capital, Nassau. Grand Bahama International Airport handles nearly 50,000 flights each year.

Tourism complements trade as a revenue earner in Freeport, with over a million visitors each year. Much of the tourist industry is displaced to the seaside suburb of Lucaya, owing its name (but little else) to the pre-Columbian Lucayan inhabitants of the island. The city is often promoted as "Freeport/Lucaya." Most hotels on the island are located along the southern Atlantic Ocean shore. Primary shopping venues for tourists include the (mostly closed since a hurricane and labor issues closed the nearby hotel) International Bazaar near downtown Freeport and the Port Lucaya Market Place in Lucaya.
