Nowadays the major agribusiness is citrus from two huge farms which export their crop to Florida. Abaco has developed its tourist industry slowly and effectively and has a high employment rate. It has the major airport about three miles from the town and is the commercial centre of Abaco. As you drive in from the airport you pass government offices, supermarkets and lots of churches and liquor stores. Many Haitians have since been repatriated however.
Shops are varied and well stocked and international banks are represented.
The only traffic lights on the island are outside Barclays. Batelco is a yellow building off Queen Elizabeth Drive. The Tourist Office is nearby. The Bahamas Family Market on Front Street sells mainly fruit and vegetables grown on Abaco. All rights reserved.
