The Commonwealth of the Bahamas consists of 29 islands and hundreds of cays and islets and is located in the Atlantic Ocean north of Cuba and Hispaniola (the Dominican Republic and Haiti). The population is about 315,000 people.
The Bahamas gained independence from Great Britain in 1973 and remains a Commonwealth country. The government is a constitutional parliamentary democracy.
The economy depends mainly on tourism, and the financial service sector is also important to the Bahamian economy. In the Bahamas, there is no tax on income and capital gains, and no wealth or value-added tax. The US dollar is commonly accepted.
The Bahamas is a popular vacation spot known for beautiful beaches, beautiful waters, and a mild climate. African and European colonial traditions have influenced Bahamian customs and culture.

Bahamas中的安全性
人身安全
巴哈馬的暴力犯罪猖獗，包括武裝搶劫、入室盜竊和性侵犯，這些犯罪可能發生在該國的任何地方。大多數犯罪發生在新普羅維登斯島和大巴哈馬島的拿騷和自由港。幫派暴力導致謀殺案隨時可能發生，甚至在光天化日之下，而報復性幫派暴力是近期謀殺案的主要動機。雖然 2022 年至 2023 年間嚴重犯罪下降了 21%，重大犯罪從 3,979 起下降到 3,153 起，但暴力犯罪仍然是旅客關注的問題。即使在白天，旅遊區（包括遊輪碼頭和度假區）也會發生扒手和搶包等輕微犯罪。假日和帆船賽期間犯罪率會上升。入室盜竊和盜竊案件增加，犯罪分子有時會在道路上放置物品，迫使車輛停車進行搶劫和劫車。據報道，有人在食物和飲料中下藥，有時會隨後發生性侵犯或搶劫。水上運動產業監管不力，曾有水上摩托車駕駛性侵害的報道，以及因維護不善的水上摩托車導致人員傷亡的報道。如果遭遇搶劫，切勿進行肢體反抗，因為犯罪者通常攜帶武器。
極端暴力
幫派暴力仍然是巴哈馬極端暴力事件的主要驅動因素。拿騷雪莉街以南的「過山車」（Over the Hill）地區幫派暴力活動猖獗，導致的謀殺案主要影響當地居民。報復性幫派暴力一直是謀殺案的主要動機，光是拿騷在2024年初就通報了18起謀殺案。謀殺案隨時可能發生，甚至在光天化日之下的街頭。由於青年失業率高，當地幫派主要吸引年輕人，這些團體也參與向遊客和當地人販賣毒品。當地幫派與參與販毒的外國勢力之間關係密切。雖然幫派暴力主要影響特定社區的當地居民，但因地盤糾紛而導致的暴力和兇殺案升級，造成了危險的環境。巴哈馬的謀殺率很高，但大多數案件發生在拿騷市中心非旅遊區的天黑之後。近年來，槍支彈藥販運有所增加，對該國其他形式的犯罪和暴力行為產生了影響。
政治動盪
巴哈馬是一個穩定的民主國家，政治權利和公民自由普遍受到尊重。集會自由在實踐中受到憲法保障和尊重。 2022 年 10 月，獨立聯盟領導人林肯貝恩和 8 名支持者在警方試圖將他們的抗議活動從議會台階上移開後被捕。 2022 年 3 月，抗議者在英國威廉王子和凱瑟琳王妃訪問期間要求對奴隸制進行賠償。曾發生環保示威活動，包括 2021 年巴哈馬進化黨舉行的集會，要求收回該國的自然資源。該國政治體制穩定，總督由英國君主任命為國家元首，主要具有禮儀性質。總理擔任政府首長。 2021 年 9 月，進步自由黨贏得議會選舉後，菲利普戴維斯成為總理。儘管該國保持了政治穩定，但政府腐敗被認為是一個嚴重的問題。旅行者無需擔心重大的政治動盪，但偶爾會發生和平示威。
應避免的區域
位於拿騷雪莉街 (Shirley Street) 以南的 Over the Hill 地區是遊客應重點避開的區域。該街區幫派暴力頻繁，兇殺率高，主要影響當地居民。這裡被認為是拿騷最貧窮的社區，也是暴力犯罪頻繁的地方。 2024 年 12 月，拿騷發布了關於愛情海灘 (Love Beach) 地區搶劫的旅遊警報。遊客應避免在指定旅遊區外行走，尤其是在天黑之後。在拿騷，請留在市中心的旅遊區、凱布爾海灘 (Cable Beach) 和阿拉瓦克島 (Arawak Cay)，這些地方有警察定期巡邏。避免前往沒有燈光的區域，並在黃昏後結伴出遊。不要步行離開主要旅遊區和海灘，尤其是獨自一人。夜間搭乘當地巴士時，請小心謹慎，遠離主要旅遊區。避免前往人跡罕至的海灘和獨自行走，尤其是在天黑之後。應避免前往拿騷市中心以南的地區。外島 (Out Islands)，也稱為家庭群島 (Family Islands)，其犯罪率遠低於拿騷和自由港。拿騷市中心、凱布爾海灘和天堂島的治安良好，白天在旅遊區通常很安全。
