Hi Everyone,
I received this press release from the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism and thought it would be of interest. If you have missed any of my news' postings, they are available on my web site. Best regards, Ray LIGHTHOUSE TRAVEL 800-719-9917 or 805-566-3905 http://www.lighthousetravel.com The Islands of The Bahamas Bounce Back from Hurricane Frances Nassau/Paradise Island Suffer Minimal Damage; Nassau International Airport Re-Opens Sunday, September 5, 2004 at 5:00 PM AST ALERT #5 NASSAU, Bahamas, Sept. 5 Tourism facilities in The Islands Of The Bahamas fared considerably better than predicted after Hurricane Frances passed the 700 island-nation. Hurricane Frances rolled in as a Category 4 hurricane and left as a Category 2. The Nassau International Airport resumed full operation as of Sunday, September 5th as have airports in the southern Bahamas. Cruise lines are scheduled to return to the Port of Nassau on their regular itineraries within the week. The major hotels and resorts in Nassau, Cable Beach and on Paradise Island, including Atlantis, Paradise Island, British Colonial Hilton, Radisson Cable Beach and Wyndam Nassau Resort & Crystal Palace sustained minimal cosmetic damage, are fully operational and are accepting reservations at this time. Hotels report no injury to guests. Preliminary reports from Harbour Island, North Eleuthera, Spanish Wells and Exuma indicate minimal property damage with most tourism facilities returning to normal service. Full assessments are still pending of Grand Bahama Island, Abaco, Andros and Bimini. Interviews with Vincent Vanderpool-Wallace, Director General of the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, are available upon request. To schedule an interview, contact Alice Diaz of Weber Shandwick at 917-375-5514. For frequent updates on The Islands Of The Bahamas, visit http://www.bahamas.com. |
