CREATIVE Nassau and members of the Downtown Nassau Partnership unveiled the official UNESCO Creative City logo for Nassau on Friday in Pompey Square.

Nassau obtained its designation as a Creative City of Crafts and Folk Arts on December 1. Director General of UNESCO, Irina Bokova, welcomed Nassau as a member of the prestigious Creative Cities network, which comprises 69 Creative Cities around the world.

Creative Nassau co-founder Pam Burnside said the UNESCO designation after six years of application was “an amazing accomplishment for the City of Nassau as well as for all of the citizens of The Bahamas who can benefit from the development of a creative tourism model”.

Bahamas Revisited, a new Bahamian boat excursion company headed by young entrepreneur Steven Cartwright, was also officially launched.
