NASSAU, Bahamas — Bahamasair is eyeing expansion into Central and South America and is also seeking ways to satisfy the growing demand of Asian travelers to The Bahamas.
CEO of Bahamasair Holdings Tracy Cooper said the move is a part of the airline’s expansion strategy into markets that are not “main markets into the Caribbean”.
“We, like everybody else, are making special inter-airline agreements, but we are trying to do it more so not on them coming to The Bahamas, or the Caribbean, but more so that we’ll meet you in Miami or Fort Lauderdale. And we are really trying to figure out how we can expand that as we move towards even the South and Central American markets and we can get to one or two of the hubs there as well,” he said yesterday during the aviation session at the Caribbean Tourism
Organization’s State of the Tourism Industry Conference at Atlantis resort.
Cooper is convinced that expanding to Central and South America would improve The Bahamas’ tourism product, which gets about 6 million people per year – of which 80 percent come from North America. https://thenassauguardian.com/2018/10/05/bahamasair-eyeing-expansion-to-central-and-south-america/
