The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, Investments & Aviation (BMOTIA) is headed to Atlanta, September 13-15, to showcase the destination’s vibrant culture, tourism offerings and developments, and meet with key film and tourism industry leaders, partners and media.
The Global Mission will be led by the Honorable I. Chester Cooper, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Tourism, Investments & Aviation. He will be accompanied by Latia Duncombe, BMOTIA’s Director General and other senior executives.
The events of the “Bringing The Bahamas to You” Global Tour aim to heighten awareness of The Islands of The Bahamas brand, drive tourism business to the destination and honour The Bahamas’ longstanding on-screen legacy, which has deep rooted connections in the market.
“Atlanta is a destination that is diverse and rich in culture, much like The Bahamas, making it the ideal place to conclude our successful U.S. tour.”
Deputy Prime Minister Cooper added: “The city is an extremely important market to us and one that is seeing rising demand. We have been working to continue to increase travel accessibility to meet those needs. Stopover visitor numbers from Atlanta for the first half of 2023 saw a 34 percent increase over the same period in 2022, and we hope to continue to see strong growth through end of year in this market.”
