ABOUT THE BAHAMAS
5. • Bahamas recorded a total of 7m
tourists in 2019, ranking 57th in the
world in absolute terms.
• Smaller countries regularly perform
lower in a comparison of the abso-
lute number of guests. By putting
the tourist number in relation to
the population the picture beco-
mes more comparable: with 18.44
tourists per resident, the Bahamas
ranked 9th in the world and 6th in
the Caribbean.
• Bahamas generated around 3.61 bn
USD in the tourism sector alone.
This corresponds to 32.05 Percent
of its Gross Domestic Product and
approximately 24 Percent of all
income from international tourism
in the Caribbean.

TAX ADVANTAGES
10. • Although geographically close,
Miami and the Bahamas are diffe-
rent worlds. Just 55 nautical miles
off the Southern Coast of Florida -
a spring and a step away from the
sunny, cosmopolitan city of Miami
- is Grand Bahama.
• Grand Bahama is famous for its
tropical climate, excellent sea-
food, and some of the world‘s most
gorgeous (and relatively untou-
ched) beaches. Travelers can make
the most of this close proximity by
taking a one- or two-day trip from
Miami to Grand Bahama by boat
or plane. So, a visit to the sunshine
state can also mean an idyllic geta-
way to tropical bliss.

11. • When Uber announced its air taxi
venture Uber Elevate (now acqui-
red by Joby Aviation), it seemed
like a far-fetched ambition. But re-
cently many aerospace companies
have started working on delivering
air taxis to serve a certain group of
travelers.
• Unlike ground transport, the in-
frastructure costs for air taxis will
be much cheaper and yet more
efficient. It will help massively in
congested locations and where the
demand to commute is more than
the supply.
• The newest invention in the aero-
space business is electric vertical
take-off and landing (eVTOL) air-
craft.

WE BUILD
28. • To secure the energy supply, Stei-
niger Island should be energetically
self-sufficient and at the same time
generate the required energy for
all consumers including e-vehicles
ecologically.
• Each building will be equipped
with its own photovoltaic system.
This takes over the primary supply
during the hours of sunshine via
its own inverter. This is flanked by
charging stations for 1-2 electric
cars.
• The energy is stored in an outsour-
ced central battery station for all
objects.
• In long-term adverse weather si-
tuations use can be guaranteed for
up to 8 days.
SOLAR POWER
29. • ESG is an acronym defining three
key areas of sustainability that real
estate developers should consider:
environmental, social, and gover-
nance.
• At CPH INVEST all our projects are
fully compliant with ESG values.
• At CPH INVEST we fully finance
all our developments with private
capital. Every stakeholder is com-
mitted to our values.
ESG
30. • Environmental building factors
typically spotlight a property‘s
carbon footprint and address ener-
gy consumption, water usage, and
waste management.
• Real Estate consumes around 40%
of the world’s energy and contri-
butes up to 30% of its annual GHG
emissions. That’s why the applica-
tion of ESG standards is so import-
ant to us.
• Environmental considerations may
also include how well a property
is positioned to handle climate-re-
lated risks like rising ocean levels,
and extreme weather.
• We support the local Coral Vita
Farm to maintain the reef in front
of the island.
ENVIRONMENTAL
31. • Awareness is growing that real es-
tate has a significant social impact.
We build one house for bahamian
people in need for each house we
sell. Together with the Department
of Housing of the Government of
The Bahamas we offer a way to
purchase a government house in a
designated area.
• The mandate of the Minister re-
sponsible for Housing is the encou-
ragement of home ownership by
persons of low to moderate inco-
mes.
• To this end, the Department of
Housing takes applications from
persons of low to moderate inco-
mes interested in obtaining subsi-
dised housing through government
guaranteed loans.
