ANDROS BUSINESS OUTLOOK EYES NATURAL CAPITAL FOCUS

THE 11TH Andros Business Outlook conference will focus on issues impacting the island’s tourism, commerce, sustainability and stakeholder engagement when it is held next Thursday, June 15.

The hybrid forum, which will be open to in-person as well as virtual attendees, is one of eight annual business conferences comprising TCL Group’s Bahamas Business Outlook brand.

“Last year we were pleased to arrive at a significant milestone in the history of Andros Business Outlook, where we celebrated a decade of facilitating important national conversations about Andros and neighbouring islands. This year, we are honoured to continue that tradition as the nation looks to celebrate 50 years of independence,” said Joan Albury, president, TCL Group.

“Aptly so, the theme for this year’s conference echoes our national motto: Forward, Upward, Onward. Together. Attendees will receive an up-to-date view of the socio-economic, cultural and environmental landscape of Andros, focusing mainly on relevant community-based initiatives directed towards capacity building, marketing and product development to increase investment, business development and employment, while promoting conservation of the fabulous natural capital of our country’s biggest island. With such well-placed conversations, our audience will see how our largest island is also a giant in national development.”

Two moderators will lead the day-long forum. The morning session will be spearheaded by Mark Daniels, associate principal for the environment with BRON Ltd. Benjamin Pratt, senior manager in the Ministry of Tourism, Investments and Aviation’s sustainability department, will lead the afternoon session.

The keynote address will be given by Leon Lundy, parliamentary secretary in the Office of the Prime Minister, and MP for Central, South Andros & Mangrove Cay. Other presenters include Rory Major,
