Introduction to Nassau
|
|
| |
Nassau, the capital of New Providence Island in the
Bahamas, is a majestic, scenic adventure that you do not want to miss. This is
one of the premier cruise sites in the entire world, and as a result, tourism to
this island is growing every year. New Providence has become the priority of all
of the political officials who control the region, because this pink-sand beach
marvel is emerging as the number one hot spot in the Bahamas. Only about one
hundred miles from Miami, New Providence, and Nassau in particular, is a
wonderful choice to enjoy a glorious vacation. The Bahamas is in fact the most
geographically complex nation in all of the Atlantic. A coral-based series of
islands, it is made up of over700 islands, 2,000 cays, and hundreds of rocky
masses that have brought destruction to sea going vessels in the area for
centuries. New Providence is a significant portion of the 100,000 square miles
of dry land that comprises The Bahamas. Each region in the vicinity is
separately governed, and this applies to New Providence, as well as the Turks
and Caicos Islands. In 1964 Great Britain granted The Bahamas internal governed
rule. After many centuries of colonial rule, The Commonwealth of The Bahamas
took control in 1973, and at that time the fledgling nation drafted its own
constitution but remained tied to Britain to a certain extent. The island has
remained in the Commonwealth, and the British monarch still holds as its head of
state. The Bahamas keeps a two-house Parliament, and this also remains in
accordance with the policy of Great Britain. A Bahamian general, appointed by
the Queen, represents the Crown. The citizens of New Providence, and especially
Nassau, are friendly and quite helpful as you travel throughout the area. Be
certain to ask them any questions you may have about their wonderful beaches,
extravagant dining facilities, and wide array of water sports. |
