Old Bahama Bay Hosts North American Group: Meeting and fund-raising event planners participating in a recent Bahamas Ministry of Tourism familiarization trip were hosted to festivities at Old Bahama Bay by Ginn sur Mer.

West End, Grand Bahama Island – Old Bahama Bay by Ginn sur Mer recently hosted a group of North American meeting and fund-raising event planners participating in a Bahamas Ministry of Tourism familiarization trip to Grand Bahama Island.

The 14 participants traveled from Washington D.C., New Jersey, Maryland, Arizona and Texas, and were accompanied by Bahamas Ministry of Tourism representatives, Anika Williams of Freeport, Virginia Kelly of Nassau and Jeannie Gibson of Atlanta.

“This visit allowed us to showcase our existing resort facilities, amenities and new 5,000 square-foot meeting pavilion due to open later this year – an ideal location for incentive trips, executive retreats, corporate meetings and wedding groups,” said Brent Ingraham, vice president of resort sales for Old Bahama Bay. “The group was able to experience our guest offerings firsthand and was pleasantly surprised by what they described as a ‘hidden treasure.’”

Old Bahama Bay treated the meeting and fund-raiser event planners to a welcome reception and dinner, site inspection and a destination breakfast presentation featuring a supplier’s trade show.

After three days on Grand Bahama Island, the group departed for Bimini for the next leg of their familiarization visit.
