STUART, FL -
Talkin’ Tourism,
a Treasure Coast based radio talk show that airs on WPSL 1590 AM and
streams live over the Internet, will broadcast live from the island of
Bimini in the Bahamas this Friday, December 30.
Show
hosts Gary Guertin and Robin Hicks-Connors will hype New Year’s
activities on the Bahamian island closest to Florida’s coast and explore
the historical, business and cultural connections between Florida and
this particular “island in the stream” famous for its crystal clear
waters and abundant marine life.
“With
over 700 islands and cays—so close to our shores, Florida residents and
visitors don’t realize how close the Bahamas are nor how different the
experiences are from island to island, especially in the Out Islands.
Florida and The Bahamas are connected via the Gulf Stream. Collaborative
efforts with Bahamian resort and marina properties to enhance tourism
in both countries, makes economic sense,” said Guertin. “
Talkin’ Tourism keeps pushing that message forward and folks are listening.”
Guests
for the December 30 show include Bimini tourism officials,
representatives from the Bimini Biological Field Station, the
vice-president of Bimini Sands Resort & Marina—Frank Cooney, Jr.,
spokespersons from the islands two Junkanoo groups—which will be
performing on New Year’s Day, and Bimini Sands Resort and Marina
Activities Directors Grant Johnson and Katie Grudecki, who will describe
the diverse activities and experiences available in Bimini, as well as
Bimini Sand’s annual New Year’s Eve fireworks extravaganza.
The December 30 show is the fourth to air live from Bimini, and the 17th
international location. Previous remotes have been produced from Green
Turtle Cay, Port Lucaya, West End, Elbow Cay, Cape Eleuthera, Marsh
Harbour and Bimini in the Bahamas, and Tortola in the British Virgin
