The Bahamas was honoured in China as recipient of the “World’s Best Eco Island” Award by Voyage magazine during a special gala celebration in Beijing.
The annual award celebration organised by the top China travel media brought together more than 300 professionals from the travel industry, top journalists and a number of celebrities to celebrate tourism in China’s capital.
The Bahamas was one of only 15 overseas travel destinations to receive an award and the only one in the Caribbean/Latin American region.
“We are pleased to receive this recognition, and it is both an honour and a testimony that our work in China is recognised,” said Tommy Thompson, deputy director general of tourism.
