I think this report was meant to help the Bahamas and let Americans know that the State Department warning was based on crimes not committed in tourist areas.
My personal experience with Bahamians has been this - they are people, a little more pleasant than Americans, but people. All people everywhere fail. The Bahamas is no different than Chicago. Don’t go looking for drugs, prostitutes, or gambling and you are as safe as anywhere.
I was in the Bahamas as a kid and my parents hated it. I went back 30 years later and understand why. For an island that depends on tourism, the locals obviously despise tourists and dont hide it.
I'm betting it's you. Everyone was extremely wonderful to me. But I'm a really nice person so I normally get nice back. It's easy to surmise that you are the problem
@@lissabee49 Sorry I travel the world. Last year I logged 130k miles. I'm in Phuket right now and only in the Bahamas have I had this issue. The fact you're insulting me tells what kind of person you really are.
The United States rapidly growing violent crime is not rocket science… they do NOT punish people for committing crimes so that means MORE CRIME!! Not gun violence!! The gun doesn’t commit the crime,, THE CRIMINAL DOES! wow some people are so out of touch with reality!!
Its a warning not a ban. Plus if an American gets kidnapped or such, the family can't blame US for not warning travelers....some tourists have the "it won't happen to me" mindset!!
This warning is inflammatory. U. Ant say the Bahamas is not safe when they are only looking at 2 islands out of 700. A lot of the out islands are not only safe but a lot of the population is second home owners from the U.S. these are called the family islands. They are almost all larger families of the original settlers. I don’t think Miami is very safe but that doesn’t mean I will not go to Florida
Probably safer than Miami or LA. I work in SF Bay Area, and it can get scary! Especially near the tenderloin after dark. At least the tourist areas in the Bahamas aren't taken over by tweakers!!! Fisherman's wharf in SF is now a crime hotspot. Businesses are closing because the losses are simply too great to bear, even with all the tourist traffic. So yah, I think the Bahamas are still on my travel list. I had a great time on my previous visit, and I look forward to my next!
We have gone to Nassau for over 30 years now. Never had a problem BUT we also Never Go out at night in Nassau. Stay at the resorts at night and don't go far from the port. Just like Miami 😮😮😮
Bless up from Nassau Bahamas 242! I want my government put out a crime advisory that Bahamians not too travel too America where all the crime is happening as well.. 😭😪🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸
State Dept is responsible for issuing travel advisories for Americans before they visit OTHER COUNTRIES, as part of their duties. You've been warned, and now make your decision based on that. Of course, U.S. is as dangerous or maybe even more so than other countries, and it's the responsibilityof YOUR government to warn you about that. Make your decision to visit or not based on that advisory. That's all, so don't get your panties in a bunch, people!
The one time I went to the Bahamas I couldn’t even lay out on the beach because I got harassed by the local vendors. My other half and I had to stay at the pool the entire time.
Hell, I went to Paradise Island in Nassau back 45 years ago as a 23 year old, with my Bride. We decided to walk over the causeway bridge off Paridise Island and into Nassau. Once across the bridge I was bombarded with local thugs trying to sell me Marijuana, Cocaine, fake jewelry, hookers, and even insurance. All I had to do was follow them down an alley to their offices. Lol Recently honorably discharged from the USMC , these clowns didnt know I was a combat veteran of frequent visits to Tijuana Mexico and there as an 18 year old PFC had we had seen it all. Yea sure it wasnt to safe 45 years ago what makes people think its better now.
That’s ashamed, I loved the Bahamas ..one of my best vacations but like anywhere nothing is full proof safe,especially when traveling outside of your unknowns.
Those warnings are crucial since there are always some stupid tourists especially younger ones and some TH-camrs would go into the hoods out of their curiosity then get robbed or get in some trouble.
My girlfriend and I just came back from the Bahamas literally less then week ago. We stayed at the beautiful Atlantis hotel… If you’re going then don’t worry. You’re fine! I spoke with locals, and they explained the violence is gang related between rival gangs. Stay on the resort and if you’re off the resort don’t wear shiny or bougie stuff… Also downtown LA, or other US cities are more dangerous than the beautiful Bahamas. If you’re going to the Bahamas soon, have fun and relax :)
It's called being street smart and stay within the tourist areas or with large groups our country she be ashamed to report this stuff when it's way worse here
Mexico and Canada are safer than the US. We live in one of the most dangerous countries in the world it’s just the US doesn’t allow our travel advisory to be raised because they want to put out a false perception. We have some of the most unhealthy food on the planet too. Our food is killing us all.
Well others see the ATROCITIES plaguing the US. Cognitive Dissonance is truly a mental illness. Other countries need to have HIGH ALERT Travel ADVISORYs for those seeking to travel to the 🇺🇸 USA.
Hey I live in the good ol USA..I’m issuing A travel warning for New York City, Chicago,California,Boston,any border state being overrun by illegal immigrants, level 12.
Give me a break! There should be a warning on tourist coming to the US. This wasn't even worth reporting.
we try to warn them, but they keep storming the borders.
I think this report was meant to help the Bahamas and let Americans know that the State Department warning was based on crimes not committed in tourist areas.
There is
We've been warning migrants but they keep coming. What now?
My personal experience with Bahamians has been this - they are people, a little more pleasant than Americans, but people. All people everywhere fail. The Bahamas is no different than Chicago. Don’t go looking for drugs, prostitutes, or gambling and you are as safe as anywhere.
Comparing Bahamas with Chicago is not exactly a compliment lol
@@hiddenname9809 Maybe not, but I would still gladly vacation in Chicago when it is not hellishly cold.
$hitcago and SAFE do NOT even belong in the same sentence!
Those Kentucky women story needs to be investigated, most women who go through a horrific thing like that never show their face.
“It was a dream vacation until it wasn’t” they still high as hell
It was investigated and THEY LIED!!! Shocker !!
Some tourists appear to be very clueless and very arrogant...... good luck to them.
And you are clueless. There's a travel advisory for visiting the USA duh. You can't be a teacher no way
Travel advisory on the Bahamas but not to cities in the states 🤦🏾♂️
I was in the Bahamas as a kid and my parents hated it. I went back 30 years later and understand why. For an island that depends on tourism, the locals obviously despise tourists and dont hide it.

This just in: Chicago issues a travel warning for Bahamians coming to visit their city. 😂
Other countries do post travel warnings to the US! We're not immuned...
The US Gov't telling us about violence when we're steeped in gun violence is absurd. ABSURD.
I agree. It's so wild United States does this when we are probably worse
If this were true immigrants wouldn’t come here for “asylum” 🤓
People crossing the border missed the memo.
Exactly. In DC, we need a travel advisory as well.

Meanwhile Florida abductions are up sex slaves ! Molesters full force ! What level are we giving Florida cities ? Or Chicago ? Dallas , San Fran ?
What is the travel warning for the United States?
Level 10 Purge
its so bad they have people crossing the border illegally to get there
Even if there is, people are still crossing the border.
Man but the Bahamas is like music videos vibes!!! Blue open skies and transparent water with water-stars and colorful fishes.
Damn Bahamian people
Those ladies were lying! Rosewood all over again smh
you know the wybe .. ugh i hate liars

@@jenc89533 women/tourists have been graped in the Bahamas this year already…
Do you even know about the Bahamas or Jamaica? People are getting their heads cut off right down the road from these resorts 😂
Probably safer?? Yea I want to pay huge amounts of money for probably safer.?? No thanks. I want to go to a lot safer for a vacation.
@@serena9543well then get out of the US. It's not safe anywhere
I was in Turks and Caicos during Christmas and felt safe and never was looking over my shoulder
How about a travel warning to most of the US cities?
We have gone to Nassau for over 30 years now. Never had a problem BUT we also Never Go out at night in Nassau. Stay at the resorts at night and don't go far from the port. Just like Miami 😮😮😮

People come to Florida and make the same dumb mistakes
I mean this is absolutely no worse than most large urban areas in the US.
Back woods people are way worse
You mean Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle and ... Oh you're serious? Sure .
Was in Bahamas and Jamaica a few days ago. Stay with crowds or tourists. Dont get distracted.
Yeah imma try to go anyway 💞🌴🌊☀️
They haven’t been to NY. I live here. It’s literally a dump now.
NYC should definitely have some of the hardest restriction travels. The crimes are worst than all these countries combined.
Went there to an all inclusive resort in the 80’s. The check in people warned us that if we left the resort we would be robbed. Welcome to paradise
These places are safer than your hometown. Just don’t go where you shouldn’t be.
Warn them about where they live
Any update on the Kentucky moms story - 2 months on and it has disappeared from the radar
All of this happens in the USA times 1000. I've seen how certain American women behave in the Caribbean. It's not pretty.
Nothing will be the same..evil is rampid!!!
rampant. not trying be mean jus saying .
Meanwhile in Miami, NYC, DC, LA, Dallas, and other American cities .......
San Fran should issue a don’t visit here warning.
I was there last month on vacation and had a wonderful time, everyone was nice they definitely live by the “island time” but that isn’t a problem
No warning about parades in America ?

It's clearly evident those two women who claimed to be raped, were not.
simply don't accept drinks from other people...
No mass killings in those countries, but a regular occurrence here. Crime is everywhere that you find humans.

Don't get lost there
LOL! Ain't nobody raping 2 dogs from Kentucky!
No reason to travel to the Bahamas. There are many other destinations to visit🌎🌎🌎
Clean up or loose business simple as that
That’s ashamed, I loved the Bahamas ..one of my best vacations but like anywhere nothing is full proof safe,especially when traveling outside of your unknowns.
Couldn’t find a cleaner beach to film on?
NOPE!
Cheaper flights 😍🥰
Nassau. The Bahamas is much more than just Nassau. It’s safe, you’re fine. 😂
Safe up here in mountains.
IMAGINE the US giving warnings on other countries! 🤡 The nerve!
Those warnings are crucial since there are always some stupid tourists especially younger ones and some TH-camrs would go into the hoods out of their curiosity then get robbed or get in some trouble.
Local are not, not going anywhere near the Bahamas.
Didn't happen in "tourist areas?"
Sorry. That's WAY TOO CLOSE for comfort ! DON'T TRAVEL THERE.
So crime in the US... is not TOO CLOSE for comfort?🤣🤣🤣
My girlfriend and I just came back from the Bahamas literally less then week ago. We stayed at the beautiful Atlantis hotel…
If you’re going then don’t worry. You’re fine! I spoke with locals, and they explained the violence is gang related between rival gangs. Stay on the resort and if you’re off the resort don’t wear shiny or bougie stuff…
Also downtown LA, or other US cities are more dangerous than the beautiful Bahamas. If you’re going to the Bahamas soon, have fun and relax :)
Guess I'll change my retirement plans from Bahamas to Chicago
Hmm funny. Have a Caribbean friend who will only go to certain places while in US due to crime. Violence is everywhere.
What about the 15 year old girl who got raped there. Its not safe i was there 2 weeks ago its a dump
The surveillance camera conflicts with the two Beckys claimed. I don't need a camera to tell me that no one would touch the two toads!
Don't Visit = Less Tourism Dollars $$$ - if they can't reasonably Protect travelers . . . Don't Give them your Business $$$
So is chiraq a level 5 ? Asking for a friend 🤦🏽♂️
We have plenty of beautiful vacation spot in the USA. No need to go to other countries.
It's called being street smart and stay within the tourist areas or with large groups our country she be ashamed to report this stuff when it's way worse here
Is it as dangerous as USA?
Been a few cruises. They're not worth it. Check out the Florida keys. Locals are awesome, and it's likely cheaper.
The usa at 100....😂😂😂 BS
no american dollars, no rich bahas
The Bahamas use both money think😒
They do that at all black countries
I'd like to hop a plane and meet Nora in the Bahamas. Such a fox!
Look at Jamaica it was nice till it wasn't cause they loved they money not they safety
Is USA a level 3?
nicer places in the caribbean
The common denominator here is that all countries have a large African population…. Hmmmmmm….
Racist. The common denominator would be poverty. Maybe set aside your racism and educate yourself.
fake news
How so?
@@jordanwolff5243 think for yourself. Bah
No one who says “fake news” will ever say where the “real news” is; because the sources are so ridiculously conspiratorial. Q much?
@@pjesf no
@@Oreomilkcookie Yeah
Lol, afraid of gang violence or killings😂
They will blame Trump I’m sure.
Why, Trump is irrelevant now
Put an OTF switch blade in your pocket, you'll be good.👍
I don’t travel outside of the country at all ever. I’ve seen Canada and Mexico from the confines of my own country, that was good enough.
Mexico and Canada are safer than the US. We live in one of the most dangerous countries in the world it’s just the US doesn’t allow our travel advisory to be raised because they want to put out a false perception. We have some of the most unhealthy food on the planet too. Our food is killing us all.

Mexico I wouldn’t go if you paid me. Canada is fine I’ve been there 5 times. Niagara Falls is great on the Canadian side never had a problem there.
Hey I live in the good ol USA..I’m issuing A travel warning for New York City, Chicago,California,Boston,any border state being overrun by illegal immigrants, level 12.
