“Grand Bahama tourism relies heavily on the culinary experiences we provide, and part of that is our food quality and presentation, and courteous service,” said Johnson. “We want Grand Bahama businesses to show us what they’ve got!”<\/p>\n

Johnson is encouraging growers, manufacturers, bakeries, ice cream parlors and caf\u00e9s, food and beverage product providers, event and catering companies, meat and fish distributors,\u00a0 hotel organizations, financial institutions, packaging supply companies, shipping and transportation companies, social organizations, and all related ministries and government institutions that touch upon this vast area to come out.<\/p>\n

“Anybody, big or small, who sees themselves, or their business associated with excellence and top class service, will find this the perfect venue to further establish their brand. It’s also a chance for us to experience various dining and catering options before we make reservations, or perhaps even find the perfect compliment to an upcoming wedding, office or Christmas party,” said Johnson.<\/p>\n
