Enclosed are comments made by Mr. Archie Nairn, Permanent Secretary of Ministry of Tourism & Aviation to the 3rd Annual Security Symposium.

"We all know that the world is completely obsessed with safety and security today. In this post 9-11 environment, we get a healthy dose of that obsession every time we try to board an aircraft.

We are screened and re-screened. Sometimes we are searched and moments later, searched again. It is all a part of a new set of security protocols with which we have all learned to live.

As unpalatable as these security measures are, we have come to accept them as a way of life. We take it in stride because there is nothing more important than safety to the traveler as well..."

Grand Bahamian residents and professionals (inside and outside of the hospitality/tourism industry) can be a part of fulfilling the vision for Grand Bahama Island, that is of being the preferred destination for easily accessible “island experiences”, with modern amenities that facilitate relaxation, enjoyment, and memorable experiences.

A brand is a customer experience represented by a collection of images and ideas; often, it refers to a symbol such as a name, logo, slogan, and design scheme.  “The Grand Life” is the new brand for Grand Bahama Island. The Grand Bahama Island Tourism Board and The Grand Bahama Ministry of Tourism feel  that the new brand creates a much stronger identity for Grand Bahama Island, and their public/private sector partnership is committed to rolling out this brand in the months and years ahead. A brand becomes tangible and real when its essence and promise are delivered as an experience to a customer....

Summer Festival delves deeper into culture - Jun 19, 2008 - 1:06:41 PM
Junkanoo Summer Festival will avoid the heavy rains of June and take the shape of a music and heritage festival July 12 – August 2, celebrating the roots of Bahamian cultural activities.

The Ministry of Tourism and Aviation, the principal organizer of the annual event, has delayed the start of Junkanoo Summer Festival in order to begin during a time that normally provides more favorable weather. This decision was taken due to the festival being marred several times last week by torrential rains.
