The campaign,\u00a0launched earlier this year in the United States<\/a>\u00a0when couples were invited to enter a competition to have an all-expense paid wedding in The Bahamas.
\n\u201cAt the time, we were told a great outcome would be to have 400 people enter the competition however, the Ministry of Tourism is delighted to say that over 3,000 couples entered, which we had to narrow to 16 winning couples,\u201d Jibrilu revealed. According to the director general, the popularity and quality of the promotion is well-known and regarded as the most innovative campaign launched by the Ministry of Tourism.<\/p>\nHundreds are expected to benefit from the campaign that is Bahamian conceived and produced including hotels, bakeries, beauty salons, musicians, photographers, stylists, transportation service providers and many others.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Bahamas is in fact the only country in the region that could launch such an innovative campaign, that the Ministry of Tourism will launch the same in Canada next year. \u201cThe success of this campaign is evidenced by the fact that all our Canadian potential partners that include airlines, bridal stores, jewelers etcetera have approached us with a view to participating,\u201d said Jibrilu.<\/p>\n
