Preserving Paradise, Celebrating Community
The NPIPB is committed to promoting sustainable tourism throughout the destination, as well as actively supporting local community groups, foundations, and educational opportunities through scholarships.
Sustainability
In addition to promoting the eco-friendly initiatives of our members, the NPIPB actively supports the work of the Bahamas National Trust and Bahamas Reef Environment Educational Foundation.
The Bahamas National Trust is a science-based organization dedicated to effectively managing national parks to conserve and protect Bahamian national resources, while BREEF has been dedicated to promoting the conservation of the Bahamian marine environment since 1993.
