The Commonwealth of the Bahamas received an open letter of endorsement and support from the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) as a regional leader in tourism.
The letter was presented to Prime Minister Perry Christie by UNTWO Secretary General Taleb Rifai in a ceremony at Government House, during the Small Island Developing States conference held earlier in the month in Nassau.
In accepting the letter, the Prime Minister called on the region to continue to share its resources with each other in order to create the feeling of one destination and one Caribbean.
