Bahamas
Black Enterprise, Oct, 2005
The picturesque Islands Of The Bahamas is an ideal destination that caters
to travelers who blend business with pleasure. The tropical retreat is home
to world-class hotels and resorts with state-of-the-art, audiovisual-equipped
meeting facilities that will ensure functions go as smoothly as the sand and
surf that surround the islands.
Whether seeking a mega-resort such as Atlantis, Paradise Island with its more
than 200,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting, convention and banquet
space or the more intimate British Colonial Hilton Nassau with ocean and garden
view boardrooms, The Bahamas has a superior inventory of business facilities
that can meet the needs of any sized group.
Travelers are invited to explore the many islands of The Bahamas and take advantage
of the array of activities each has to offer. Tee-off between meetings on Grand
Bahama Island, the golf capital of the Caribbean, or relax with soothing spa
treatments at The Westin and Sheraton at Our Eucaya Beach & Golf Resort.
The resort boasts 90,000 square feet of flexible meeting and function space
and works closely with destination management companies to develop customized
events and team-building retreats.
For venues in more secluded locales, The Out Islands Of The Bahamas features
the luxurious Four Seasons Resort at Emerald Bay in Exuma with 25,000 square
feet of meeting space, a Greg Norm an designed golf course, and a full-service
spa.

feet in the sand and soak up the sun.

including American Airlines, Continental, Delta, JetBlue Airways, Song, Spirit
Airlines and US Airways.
