“(The promotion) will showcase The Islands Of The Bahamas as the premier destination in the region for romance – weddings, honeymoons, vow renewals and romantic escapes,” said Minister Wilchcombe. “The 16 islands represent a diverse collection of destinations with distinct characters, flavors and attributes. We expect to generate international awareness that is sustained while inspiring media to write about the variety of cultural and vacation experiences these islands offer.
