In Partnership With
The Mission
A four-day executive trade mission to Grand Bahama Island.
The Greater Houston Black Chamber of Commerce and the New Orleans Black Chamber of Commerce invite executives, entrepreneurs and investors to a curated trade mission to Grand Bahama Island. With a beautiful mix of boutique hotels, luxury resorts, championship golf courses and some of the friendliest people in the world, Grand Bahama Island is one of the most welcoming business destinations in The Bahamas.
Located just 55 miles east of Florida, Grand Bahama is nestled among miles of powder-white sands, nature preserves and emerald-green seas — the perfect backdrop for high-impact B2B meetings, real estate tours and meaningful cross-border relationships.
Coordinated by PJ Douglas Sands, Founder & Travel Agency Owner of LUXE Worldwide Travel, Meetings and Groups, this trade mission is hosted by the Greater Houston Black Chamber of Commerce — whose 2018 President was Courtney Johnson Rose — together with the New Orleans Regional Black Chamber of Commerce, and convenes under the auspices of Lynden Rose, Bahamas Honorary Consul to Houston, TX.
