TESTIMONIAL Bahamas Tourist Offi ce “The Travel & Adventure PH 2019 Showcase has been one of the best comparable to the four years exhibiting. The quality of the attendees that came eager to book and learn about our destination was remarkable. And then, there were those who have completed their research, booked a trip and came by to obtain additional tips on things to see and do. I truly enjoyed every busy moment.
