The Nassau/Paradise Island Promotion Board’s (NPIPB) chief executive yesterday said its resort members are reporting “record occupancy” for the Thanksgiving holiday period.

Joy Jibrilu told Tribune Business she is “delighted that the destination is experiencing robust arrival numbers and exceptional hotel bookings for Thanksgiving week”.

She continued: “NAD (Nassau Airport Development Company) is expecting between 25,000 and 35,000 [passengers] over the Thanksgiving weekend, which translates into significant bookings for our hotel properties. Our member properties are reporting record occupancy across the board for the Thanksgiving week.

“This success reflects not only the allure of Nassau and Paradise Island, but also the hard work and dedication of our team and all our industry partners. It is a testament to effective marketing strategies, collaborative partnerships and Bahamians providing unforgettable experiences.

“I extend my gratitude to everyone involved in attracting visitors to our destination during this key travel period, contributing not only to economic growth but also to the enrichment of the overall visitor experience,” Mrs Jibrilu added.

“Nassau Paradise Island Promotion Board remains committed to sustaining this momentum by continuing to evolve our marketing strategies, attract new airlift, maintain a strong presence in the global travel industry and foster our partnerships with the Ministry of Tourism, Investments and Aviation, our 18 member hotels, and all those who work in the tourism industry.”
