Bahamas Out Island Promotion Board offers incentive for Private Pilots to Island Hop Money Saving Promotion for private pilots to enjoy “another day, another island” To promote the variety and diversity of its 700 archipelagic chain to private flyers, The Bahamas Out Island Promotion Board has announced a creative, unique and value driven promotion that invites private pilots to realize real savings while Island hopping and experiencing a multiplicity of The Bahamas Islands. The Promotion, created by BOIPB for its member properties, provides a $150.00 instant credit savings on a two night consecutive stay at any participating hotel for those general aviation pilots travelling to multiple Out Islands on the same flight itinerary. “Private Pilots have a better opportunity than most to visit more than one Island at a time, and have expressed to us that they enjoy the experience of, “Another Day, Another Island,” and so we wanted to make it even easier for them to enjoy venturing out,” Valery Brown-Alce, Sr. Director Marketing, BOIPB said.” She said that by visiting more than one Island, the private pilot is exposed to the different culture of each Island. “One of the (BOIPB) Board’s key goals this year is to get more pilots exploring further into the Central and Southern Bahama Islands – Islands like Acklins, Crooked Island, San Salvador and Long Island to name a few,” Brown-Alce said. The promotion is valid for bookings now through June 26th and for travel through June 30th, with no black-out dates. The offer is redeemable by a licensed private pilot only. At check-in the pilot should present a copy of the Bahamas customs stamped C7A receipt in the name of the travelling party. The offer is limited to one instant savings per reservation and a maximum of two rooms per reservation; it is not combinable with any other fuel credit offers, for group reservations or private flights operated by resort properties. Chief Aviation Specialist for The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, Mr. Greg Rolle, said that “Private Pilots love exploring the less travelled Islands of The Bahamas, and it is visionary of The Bahamas Out Island Promotion Board to create this money saving opportunity to benefit, Island hopping general aviators, ” “This is yet another indication of The BMOTA and its marketing partners making it easier for private pilots to fly in and around The Islands Of The Bahamas,” Rolle said.
