citizens do not need visas for short trips to The Bahamas for tourist/<br />
business purposes. It is important to note that, although <strong>the</strong> Bahamian<br />
government only requires proof of citizenship and identity in order to<br />
enter The Bahamas, <strong>the</strong> U.S. government requires that Americans have<br />
a valid passport in order to fly home. Most airlines will not permit a<br />
U.S. citizen to fly to The Bahamas without a valid U.S. passport and risk<br />
getting stranded.<br />
