This really is the island most visitors erroneously contact Nassau. That's for the reason that it's the web site with the nation's cash, called in 1695 to the Dutch Prince of Orange-Nassau just after he took more than the British throne. Due to the fact about two-thirds in the Bahamian inhabitants lives on the somewhat little island of New Providence, it truly is the mouse that roars.
Recent many years have seen millions of bucks invested in Nassau, Cable Seaside, & Paradise Island.
The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism along with 23 exhibitors promoted all the wonderful things offered inside the Islands. 4 air charter companies were on hand showcasing their aircraft for travel to and from the Bahamas.
Aircraft on display were a Pilatus PC-12, a Citation and Eclipse Jet. The Junkanoo performance and Bahamian lunch was a hit with all who attended.
There was standing room only for the seminars on flight planning, customs procedures and safety for "over water flight" that was conducted by the FAA and Department of Homeland Security, FlightPlan.com, and Bahamas Habitat.
