Changing the face of Tourism

By HADASSAH HALL

At the tender age of 17, her quest is to change the perception of Bahamians towards the service industry. And for the next year she will have the opportunity to do just that as she assumes the role of the country’s Junior Minister of Tourism.

Ryan Albury, a 2005 graduate of St. John’s College is already on the right track. She has strong views on the tourism industry and the positive outlook which some Bahamians have of the nation?s number one sector.

Visitor Relations

The Visitor Relations Unit was established in 1972 to handle visitor complaints. The Unit has taken a proactive approach to monitoring customer interactions and identifying corrective measures which industry partners can use to alleviate complaints. The Unit works closely with industry partners, especially in the immediate area of Prince George Dock. This includes the Straw Market, Braiding Centre, surreys, scooter rentals, and downtown merchants.
