NASSAU, The Bahamas - The Bahamas is open for business following the passage of Hurricane Irene.

Bahamas' Minister of Tourism and Aviation Vincent Vanderpool-Wallace said: “All 28 Government owned and operated airports including the 16 international airports are open and operating. Most resorts suffered only minor cosmetic damage but some of the smaller ones will remain closed for the near term.

All main arteries to and from the airports are cleared so we declared ourselves “open for business” as of midday today (Aug. 27).”
