FREEPORT,
Grand Bahama Island – The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism continues to
receive support from its industry partners as relief efforts remain in
full gear in aid of the central and southern Bahamas.
South
Florida partners, Balearia Bahamas Express and AD Nation advertising
agency, which has coordinated Grand Bahama’s newest advertising campaign
for the South Florida market, have teamed up in response to the call
for assistance sounded by the Minister of Tourism through Director
General of Tourism Joy Jibrilu.

Together, the two industry
partners donated a total of 4,000 pounds of relief items, which arrived
on Grand Bahama Island via the Balearia Bahamas Express on Friday,
October 23rd, 2015.
Director for the Ministry of Tourism, Grand
Bahama Island Betty Bethel said the exercise “speaks to the strength and
depth of the relationship that the Ministry of Tourism has with its
industry partners and shows the value that they have towards our
destination”.
Other partnering entitles inclusive of The Bahamas
Red Cross remains actively involved in the distribution of the relief
items to the affected islands.

The Red Cross Association
continues to galvanize partnerships with organizations, namely Wide
World Forwarding and The Mailboat Company that are intrinsically
involved in the logistical coordination of the relief efforts.
Bethel
added, “The Ministry of Tourism along with its international allies
recognize that while Grand Bahama Island serves as their primary
partner, it is equally important for assistance to be given to the wider
Bahamas.”
