‘ From The Bahamas With Love ‘ – virtual romance expo

NASSAU — The Bahamas, one of the world’s leading destinations for weddings and honeymoons, is gearing up to host two virtual events – From The Bahamas With Love  – to showcase the vast offerings for romantic escapes throughout the destination.

The expo will bring together industry leaders, partners, hotels, venues and services for a truly unique and educational experience for trade and consumer participants.

The virtual events will kick off on Wednesday, March 3, 2021, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. EST, with an afternoon planned specifically for trade professionals, including travel agents and event planners.

The second day of events will be Wednesday, March 10, 2021, from 4.p.m. to 7 p.m. EST, and is open to consumers, including soon-to-be engaged or recently engaged couples, future brides and grooms, bachelorette party planners, honeymoon do-over seekers and more.

The pandemic has caused many couples to postpone or reimagine their romantic getaways over the last year, and the destination wants to ensure future planning is made as seamless as possible in 2021. From The Bahamas With Love will feature a diverse series of panel discussions with experts from across all romance industry sectors, along with opportunities to network directly with partners. Those attending will enjoy a literal “taste” of  The Bahamas from home.

Director General of the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism and Aviation (MOTA) Joy Jibrilu said: “With intimate, secluded cays, unmatched turquoise waters and pink and white-sand beaches, it’s easy to understand why The Bahamas is considered one of the world’s most romantic destinations.

“With so many offerings available, we are thrilled to connect consumers to experts across a number of industries through our virtual romance expo experience to ensure the ease of planning a romantic Bahamian getaway, especially after so many plans were upended this last year.”

There will be prizes and giveaways on both days, as well as bridal fashion shows and a “Taste of The Bahamas” culinary experience. But  on March 10  lucky couples will have a chance to win one of 16 romantic experiences, including an all-expenses-paid romantic getaway to The Bahamas and a destination wedding or vow renewal
