The Junkanoo Corporation New Providence Ltd. (JCNP) signed a five-year contract with Carib Tickets at the JCNP Office on Bay Street, Wednesday, October 28.
Minister of State for Culture the Hon Charles Maynard said the Government of The Bahamas is pleased to once again formalize the agreement with the Junkanoo Corporation for the management of the Boxing and New Year’s Day parades.
“This is the third season that we have been in this agreement to share responsibilities,” said Mr Maynard.
“This would be the first year, however, that one of the responsibilities that of securing a ticket agent and paying for it is being done by the Junkanoo Corporation, so we are pleased to see that the corporation is gradually taking on more responsibility and ‘lightening’ the load on the Government in terms of the amount being expended from the public purse for the Junkanoo parades.”
He said this long-term agreement would also provide the ‘continuity’ that is essential for the ‘proper flow’ in the sale of tickets.
“This agreement would enable the company that has been awarded the contract to be more innovative with some of the things they have been doing and to bring some continuity to the whole programme so that every year consumers will not have to be subject to a different pattern on how tickets are sold.”
Chairman of JCNP, Leslie Johnson said this contract synchronizes well with the Government’s decision recently to sign a five-year agreement with seating contractors.
“We thought it sensible to sign a similar agreement with the ticketing company so that we could have those two systems integrated and patrons to the parades can perhaps now buy season tickets,” said Mr Johnson.
During the contract signing the Junkanoo Corporation also presented the Minister of State for Culture the financial statements for the years ending March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009.
“I am pleased to accept these statements in order to see how JCNP has managed the revenues they have received over the past couple of years,” said Mr Maynard.
