In a bid to further elevate its status as a top-tier travel destination, the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, Investments and Aviation (BMOTIA) has launched an exciting new advertising campaign at New York's bustling Penn Station. This month-long brand campaign is set to captivate the hearts of American travelers with the allure of the tropical paradise that is the Bahamas.
The campaign features the strategic placement of 200 eye-catching Bahamas posters throughout Penn Station, the busiest rail hub in the United States. Located just outside midtown Manhattan, Penn Station is a transit hub for over 600,000 commuters daily from New York City, Long Island, and New Jersey. This makes it an ideal location for reaching a vast audience in the US northeast, which is the largest source market for visitors to the Bahamas, contributing over 360,000 visitors annually.
In a unique twist, BMOTIA has partnered with JetBlue Vacations to run a sweepstake that complements the poster campaign. The grand prize? A three-night air and hotel package to the Bahamas, including roundtrip tickets for two. This sweepstake adds an interactive element to the campaign, inviting potential travellers to envision themselves basking in the sun-drenched beaches of the Bahamas.The goal of this campaign is clear: to enhance the visibility of the Bahamas during the peak travel season and to drive increased visitor traffic from the US northeast. The Hon I Chester Cooper, Bahamas Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Tourism, Investments and Aviation, expressed optimism about the initiative. “Our tourism business is in robust growth mode. Having welcomed an unprecedented 8 million plus visitors in 2023, our aim for 2024 is to continue this upward trajectory in visitor arrivals,” he stated.
BMOTIA Director General Latia Duncombe highlighted the surge in demand for a Bahamas vacation experience, noting, “In 2023, we witnessed a surge in demand for a Bahamas vacation experience. Our diverse offerings of 16 unique islands, coupled with the hospitality of our people, continue to attract travellers from around the world to our destination.”
This campaign by the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism showcases a proactive approach to marketing, merging strategic location selection with engaging promotional activities. As travellers in the US northeast hustle through Penn Station, the dream of a Bahamian getaway now beckons closer than ever.

Following the release of the visually striking trailer of the Bollywood entertainer Tu Meri Main Tera, curiosity around its breathtaking coastal backdrops has surged among Indian audiences. From turquoise waters to sun-drenched decks and high-energy yacht parties, the film’s sailing sequences have quickly become talking points online.
Yacht Week has now confirmed that these iconic scenes are not cinematic fantasy. The sailing lifestyle, vibrant social moments, and the much-talked-about circle raft parties featured in the trailer are part of its real-world experience and Indian travellers are officially invited to join.
Shot along Croatia’s stunning Adriatic coastline, the film showcases destinations such as Hvar, Vis, and Brač. These islands form the core of Yacht Week’s legendary Original Route, a carefully curated sailing journey that has long been popular with travellers from around the world.
For Indian audiences, this marks a chance to step beyond the screen and experience the lifestyle themselves. Yacht Week combines island-hopping, sailing, and immersive social experiences that closely echo the companionship, romance, and freedom portrayed in Tu Meri Main Tera.
The week-long journey mirrors the spirit of the film, taking guests along the same Adriatic waters, stopping at historic coastal towns and hidden bays. Days are spent soaking up the sun on deck, swimming in clear blue waters, and enjoying relaxed seaside meals. Evenings transform into open-air celebrations, culminating in the iconic Circle Raft, a signature Yacht Week moment where yachts connect in the middle of the sea to create a floating celebration, just as seen in the trailer.
Despite its global reputation, Yacht Week is positioning the experience as accessible for Indian millennials, couples, and groups of friends. Flexible instalment plans are also available, allowing guests to secure their spot with an initial deposit.
Commenting on the growing interest, Sahil Wahid, Director, Revel Travel — Official Travel Partner for India, said,
“We were thrilled to see Bollywood bring the energy of Yacht Week to the big screen with Tu Meri Main Tera. The trailer perfectly captures the spirit of friendship and freedom that defines our global community. We know Indian travelers have a deep love for travel and cinema, and we are ready to welcome them to live the journey they've fallen in love with on screen — real yachts, real people, and the real Adriatic summer.”
Bookings are now open for the upcoming summer season, offering Indian travellers the opportunity to experience the exact route, lifestyle, and energy that made the film’s sailing scenes go viral.

PRISM, the parent company of OYO, has announced a full refund policy for guests who could not check into their hotels between December 5 and 15, 2025 due to the widespread flight disruptions across India. With more than 1,400 flights cancelled over the weekend and multiple delays crossing four hours, thousands of travel plans were affected at the peak of the wedding and holiday season.
Under this policy, guests who booked through the OYO or CheckIn apps will receive automatic refunds once they submit valid proof of cancellation or delay. PRISM is also coordinating closely with its hotel partners to ensure the process is smooth and does not burden small and mid-sized properties that depend heavily on seasonal business.
Sharing more details, Varun Jain, Chief Operating Officer, PRISM Asia, said, “Our early estimates indicate that significant bookings across our hotel network may be affected by the ongoing flight disruptions. Coinciding with the peak wedding and holiday season, both leisure and business travel plans are being impacted. Our decision to offer full refunds is guided by empathy and a sense of responsibility to ensure our guests are not financially burdened by circumstances entirely beyond their control.”
PRISM today operates 13,000+ hotels under brands such as Townhouse, Sunday and Palette across India. To support the increased volume of queries, the group has also expanded its customer service team to help guests with refund requests and clarity on documentation. The company will continue to monitor the situation and extend the refund window if required.
Guests can access detailed policy information or raise requests through the CheckIn policy page or contact the dedicated support helpline.
