The Ministry of Tourism and its industry partners participated in 2014 World Routes, an annual forum held at different cities around the world, where airlines, airports and tourism promotions officials come together to discuss new route development opportunities.
The 2014 World Routes forum was held in Chicago, Ill.
Attending the event were participants from the Nassau Airport Development Company, the Nassau/Paradise Island Promotion Board and the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism.
Ministry of Tourism Senior Director of Airlift Development Tyrone Sawyer said: "World Routes is, for us, a very cost-effective way to strategize with existing airline partners who already serve the islands of The Bahamas. Additionally, there is an opportunity to explore new route development opportunities with other airlines not presently serving The Bahamas."
"Baha Mar, in particular, generated tremendous interest at World Routes. This was a very good opportunity to share a more up-to-date report on Baha Mar and to give an update on new resort developments taking place on Grand Bahama Island and the Out Islands which would require increased airlift support in the future," Mr. Sawyer said.
Sawyer hinted at more airlift developments to follow.
