FREEPORT, Bahamas – Due to Hurricane Matthew, Culinary Fusion Expo 2016 is now set to take place Saturday November 26th, 2016
at Grand Lucayan from 4pm to 9pm. The organizers are pulling out all
of the stops to make this fourth annual event an even more memorable
one.
This year, MOVE Marketing has partnered with Immerse Bahamas, BTC, the
Ministry of Tourism, the Grand Bahama Port
Authority and The Bahamas Weekly to stage the finest food and beverage
expo ever on Grand Bahama Island.
“Attendees this year will experience the best dining Grand Bahama Island
has to offer – all in one night. Equally important is the wonderful
opportunity restaurants, cafes, bistros, bakeries, hoteliers and
cocktail lounge owners have to showcase their specialty items to
patrons, who may not be aware of the variety of offerings on the
island.”

Project Manager Karen Ferguson-Bain spoke of the diversity of the
Culinary Fusion experience each year that brings together chefs, cooks,
mixologists, breweries, bakeries, restaurants and hotels.
“It is our desire to wow you with impeccable savor from renowned
restaurants on Grand Bahama. We truly appreciate the support that we
received last year, with over 800 attendees and 22 excited vendors who
dazzled guests with savory dishes, delectable desserts and sexy
cocktails,” said Ferguson.
LaShawn Dames, Grand Bahama Port Authority Business Services Manager,
said that for Invest Grand Bahama Small Business Bureau partnering with
MOVE Marketing was a no brainer since the impetus behind Culinary Fusion
fuels entrepreneurship in the food and beverage field.
“We’re excited that it is a great opportunity for small businesses in
the F&B field to get that added exposure, whether that is locally or
nationally,” Dames said.
Having reaped positive reviews from previous Culinary Fusion expos,
Ministry of Tourism Communications representative Brooke Grant noted
that the ministry is pleased that the specialty event has driven the
culinary tourism dollars to the destination and is looking forward to
hosting visiting journalists from North America, Canada and even as far
as Europe this year.
The amount of attention the articles published by local and
international journalists have already drawn to the island, coupled with
the exposure mileage the event derives from the Ministry’s half a
million-plus followers via its social media pages, Travel Bahamas and
Tourism Today Bahamas.
