“Beginning January 16, 2015 at 1600 hours, 16 couples from the United States (America) will get married on 16 Islands of The Bahamas. “The campaign, launched earlier this year in the United States when couples were invited to enter a competition to have an all-expense paid wedding in The Bahamas.

Hundreds are expected to benefit from the campaign that is Bahamian conceived and produced including hotels, bakeries, beauty salons, musicians, photographers, stylists, transportation service providers and many others.
“The Bahamas is in fact the only country in the region that could launch such an innovative campaign, that the Ministry of Tourism will launch the same in Canada next year. “The success of this campaign is evidenced by the fact that all our Canadian potential partners that include airlines, bridal stores, jewelers etcetera have approached us with a view to participating,” said Jibrilu.
With less than four weeks to go before the couples, which have already committed their hearts to each other say “I do”, the director general revealed excitement builds among all in the Ministry of Tourism.
Every sector of the ministry wishes the 16 couples the very best and looks forward to the bolstering of the country’s economy especially as beginning Christmas Eve and throughout 2015, a series of mega events and initiatives will be introduced to bring about a lovely future.
