NASSAU, Bahamas -- A record number of local drivers and the world's number one award-winning historic Ferrari will highlight the third running of Bahamas Speed Week Revival, the event that fast tracks heritage and sports tourism.
Announcement of the series of events set for December 4th through 8th was made at a press conference at Pompey Square this morning.
On hand was Minister of Tourism Obie Wilchcombe who called the convergence of drivers, cars, local and foreign fans "an annual rite that is becoming an iconic, must-do event in the Caribbean.
"For the past two years, Bahamas Speed Week Revival has successfully and significantly strengthened the nation's offering for visitors to our shores," the Minister said. "To this end, the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism has agreed to fully support the organisers of this event and we extend our financial and promotional commitment to the planners of Bahamas Speed Week Revival. This year, the event will be held under the distinguished patronage of the Governor-General of The Commonwealth of The Bahamas, His Excellency, Sir Arthur Foulkes. Drivers and teams will be headquartered at the renowned British Colonial Hilton - Number One Bay Street.
We extend our unreserved support and commitment with the full expectation that Bahamas Speed Week Revival will be a signature event for our country in years to come."
According to sources at the Ministry of Tourism, the past two Speed Week's coverage brought global recognition and exposure for the country with stories appearing in sports, lifestyle, retail and other publications as well as prompting extensive online coverage in the U.S., Canada, Europe and elsewhere.
