Nassau, The Bahamas - The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism and “Boat 4 A Day” partnered in the first ever, Bahamas Yacht and Travel Show held on June 17, 18 and 19 at Bay Street Marina.
The non-profit three-day boat show promoted all sea travel and guest-related products inclusive of Florida-based travel representatives and yacht brokers. There were a myriad of vendors including chartered yachts and other charter options; hotels, marinas, resort wear, excursions and anything that is marketed to tourists to promote travel to The Bahamas.
The weekend was chock full of family-friendly fun featuring, local talent, live bands, a resort wear fashion show with the Miss Bahamas contestants, a culinary competition and lots of activities for the entertainment of children.
The concept of hosting such a show was birthed from wanting to create a yacht and travel show in Nassau so that small businesses in the Bahamas’ marine industry would have the opportunity to market their products and increase their exposure from The Bahamas to both a local and international audience. The organizers of the event also wanted to generate tourist-based interest in what the Bahamas has to offer, especially focusing on the boutique style of travel in The Bahamas.
