Mr. Philip Miller, Head of Mission at the Embassy of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas in China, Positively Raises Bahamas Profile with Chinese Television  

On Friday, September 22, 2006 The 9th Beijing International Cultural and Tourism Festival Beijing tourism exhibition and photography display was held in the Full Link Plaza in downtown Beijing, China.  This event was a large scale exhibition display of pictures from key tourism locations from around the world.   The purpose of the event was to highlight top destinations and offer an opportunity for both the public to visit the displays and for the media to capture this special opportunity to see so many tourism destinations all together in one place.   

Mr. Philip Miller, Head of Mission for the Embassy of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas in China, was invited to represent the Bahamas through delivering welcome remarks to the people that attended the event.  Numerous Chinese print and television media attended the event, along with representatives of tourism and government officials. Mr. Miller was interviewed by Beijing Television, The Travel Channel, and CCTV, China’s national television network.   

With many destinations present at the exhibition, this was an excellent way for the Bahamas to stand out from the competition.  Mr.  Miller was the only representative of a destination to deliver a speech, and the Bahamas profile was significantly raised in China with this simple, yet effective, event.
