NASSAU, Bahamas — The Bahamas “exceeded our initial goals and expectations” at the 2018 World Routes Conference in Guangzhou, China, the ministry of tourism’s airlift chief believes, The Tribune reported October 1.
“Geographically, The Bahamas is located thousands of miles away from China, but our presence at this conference, strong networks and our accessibility to these airline operators made the location of the conference itself inconsequential,” said Tyrone Sawyer, senior director of airlift development for the Ministry.
The conference brought together hundreds of airline executives from the Far East, Europe, Canada and North America to meet, develop and create business opportunities with vendors from various destinations.
Mr Sawyer said The Bahamas held meetings with representatives of China Southern Airlines, as well as China Eastern Airlines, on improving service connectivity between its US and Canadian alliance partners to “open the gate” for this nation to receive more Chinese stopover arrivals. http://www.tribune242.com/news/2018/oct/02/bahamas-exceeded-goals-at-major-airlift-conference/
