NEW YORK -- A delegation from the Grand Bahama Port Authority, in conjunction
with the Ministry for Grand Bahama and the Grand Bahama Chamber of Commerce,
along with private sector partners, paid a courtesy call to the H.E. Dr. Elliston
Rahming, Bahamas Ambassador to the United Nations and Permanent Representative
to the Organization of American States (OAS), and the Hon. Forrester J.
Carroll, Bahamas Consul General to New York, on Friday, June 19, 2015, at
Bahama House, 231 East 46th Street New York, during which they had the
opportunity to meet with the consulate staff, conduct a site visit of the
facility and discuss matters relative to promotional and business opportunities
for the island of Grand Bahama.
The delegation traveled to New York to attend the International Franchise Expo (IFE),
with the focus of exploring franchise opportunities and promoting Grand
Bahama's Free Trade Zone. The Ministry for Grand Bahama is mandated to work
closely with the Grand Bahama Port Authority to promote the island of Grand
Bahama and this Expo was one of many initiatives that both entities have
jointly attended to achieve this mutual objective.
The IFE, which took place at the Javits Center in New York City over a three-day
period, was the perfect forum to expose Freeport’s Free Trade Zone and tax-free
incentives to the franchise business industry.
