“As The Bahamas rebuilds, it’s a privilege to work together with the Bahamas National Trust to support and shine a spotlight on a nation whose economies are benefited by tourism,” said Chris Lehane, senior VP of global policy and communications of Airbnb.
“To continue these efforts, we’re also pleased to sign a memorandum of understanding with the Ministry of Tourism to promote tourism to the country through Airbnb even beyond the Bahamas Sabbatical.
"This is a special place and anyone who has spent time on any of the islands that make up the nation is moved by the air, the sun, the beaches, the food, the communities and most of all the people.”

The sabbatical will involve helping to restore the coral reefs in Andros, supporting ethical fishing industries in Exuma, and engaging with traditional agriculture in Eleuthera.
And although the trip might sound like everybody's dream job (because it is), the sabbatical is designed with the locals in mind, directly benefitting communities and promoting the country's heritage.
All the while giving you the experience of a lifetime too, yeah.
The sabbatical runs from April 1 to May 31. Applications must be received by February 18, 2020.
