WASHINGTON, DC - The Bahamas Trade Mission to Washington, D.C. in day two, March 6,  addressed the DC Chamber of Commerce including a number of DC companies -- technology and tourism organizations, and a logistic company specializing in free trade zones, among others.

Presentations were made by the Ministry of Tourism, a Grand Bahama real estate firm, the Grand Bahama Port Authority, and the Bahamas Chamber of Commerce.

Leader of the delegation, Minister of State for Grand Bahama Kwasi Thompson addressed the gathering on the government's investment push and benefits of investing in The Bahamas -- in particular, Grand Bahama.
