Mission: Bahamas - A Paradise for Trade

A WORLD OF TRADE OPPORTUNITIES EXISTS JUST OFF OF OUR COASTLINE.

Join our delegation as we venture to the scenic islands of the Bahamas under the careful guidance of the US Commercial Service and other international business development experts.

Meet with Ambassador Ned Siegel, Bahamian business leaders, and tour the key infrastructure elements that make the Bahamas such an ideal trading partner.

This landmark Trade Mission is not to be missed, as it is certain to increase the business and cultural exchange between South Florida and our next-door neighbors to the east.
