The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism and Sandals Emerald Bay in Exuma joined forces for live radio broadcasts reaching millions.

Approximately 3 million radio listeners, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter users across key markets in North America were reached when the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, Investments & Aviation (BMOTIA) recently partnered with Sandals Emerald Bay in hosting the second live radio remote of 2023 at the resort in The Exumas. The live radio remotes aimed to reach a wider group of travelers and drive vacationers to The Bahamas.

From April 2-April 3, 2023, radio personalities from 15 radio stations in the U.S. and two from Canada broadcasted live on their popular programs and social media sites about The Islands of The Bahamas and Sandals’ luxury amenities as the ultimate vacation spot.

Hosting media partners provided a grand opportunity for BMOTIA to connect with listeners in various key markets while showcasing The Bahamas as a prime destination for visitors and inspiring travel.
