If you’re in the US or with access to NBC’s TODAY Broadcast on Feb. 9 and
10, tune in at 10:00-11:00 am ET (TODAY fourth hour of broadcast) to see hosts
Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb broadcast from the Bahamas. More details on the broadcast here. The TODAY show will be
shooting from Atlantis Resort in Paradise Island, but they’ll be doing quite a
bit of touring of the neighboring islands.
This is a good chance for you guys out there to check out different
attractions and activities here in the Bahamas.
The story I mentioned emphasizes something I tell many of our clients: the
islands and cays that make up the Bahamas have a special character of their own.
Its different islands will appeal to different people and fit different kinds
of lifestyles, whether you come here for work, intend to start a business,
retire, or just spend part of your yearly vacation time here with family or
friends.
You may wish for the exclusive lifestyle of the Exuma islands, exemplified
by famous denizens like Johnny Depp, Janet Jackson and Demi Moore. If you seek
to do business, you may find properties on the cosmopolitan yet old-world,
colonial-style waterfront of Nassau more appealing. You may be in the Bahamas on transient business; consider it a worthwhile stopover before
heading to places like South America, now more accessible via flights from our
airport.
Still looking for info? The Bahamas Ministry Tourism, which has been
promoting us with its slogan “It’s Better in the Bahamas”, has got a
promotional website at www.bahamas.com –
another good starting point for getting to know us. Do take note of significant
improvements at Nassau’s airport – Phase I of a $400 million expansion project
is nearing completion – as well as the improvements to Nassau Harbor completed in late 2010. The
harbor project was worth $44 million and now accommodates mega cruise ships
that have increased the amount of tourism business our islands enjoy.
We hear the weather’s been stuck at 42-45˚F in areas like New
York, while here in Nassau, New Providence we’re basking in 79˚F weather, more or less what
we experience the rest of the year. Have you been pining for warm weather
instead of the height of winter?
Do tune in. We’ll
be watching.
