In this case, this platform is based on tourism generating benefits for all, in the first report "Bahamas must «get real» over tourism re-opening",  the Minister of Tourism of the Bahamas  calls on the tourism sector to reopen their businesses, innovate because they must learn to live with the pandemic.The following report "Facilidades de Bahamas a cruceros dan resultado y se suman compañías", indicates the strategies of the Bahamas for cruise ships to resume operations.Both news arise despite the fact that previously the rapid intention to open its borders meant a new wave of contagion. However, both focus on the fact that tourism contributes almost 60% of the national PIB, meaning that its base is the country's economy.

Second - Cautionary Platforms
On the other hand, the second platform contradicts the first, mentioning a little the negative aspects of tourism. Big Major Cay (Pig Beach), this place in the Bahamas that has been affected by the visits of tourists who over the years have ended up with some local species.

Third - Adaptancy Platforms
Finally, the third platform focuses on sustainable tourism. The Bahamas has created an innovative idea from the covid-19 crisis. "The Bahamas inspires with 360º virtual trips" it is an idea that focuses on doing tourism digitally, which in addition to overcoming the economic crisis is a good option to make sustainable tourism.An innovative idea that can serve as an example for new ways of doing tourism.
