MACO features the Caribbean on two new Travel Channel shows

When MACO Magazines was first started, the aim was to showcase the Caribbean. We wanted to show that you don’t have to look outside of the region to find beautiful homes, resorts, or travel experiences. There are so many exotic places that many of us haven’t seen, and you know what… we should. It’s been nine years now since we’ve started the MACO line of publications, and we can happily say that we’ve achieved that dream and more. Recently, our Editor-in-Chief Neysha Soodeen appeared on the Travel Channel’s special for the world’s 21 sexiest beaches, championing the beauty of seven of the Caribbean’s most beautiful beaches. Bearing on the heels of this comes some more exciting news. Neysha has been chosen by New York television production company, City Lights Television, to work with them on two series to be aired on the Travel Channel later this year, and another currently being aired. The producers were so impressed with Neysha’s performance on 21 sexiest beaches that she was kept on and will be a presenter for two other shows, “21 Hottest Bars in the World” and “21 Greatest Escapes of the Caribbean.” “To have an entire show dedicated to the Caribbean would not only promote the islands as a destination, but also gives me the unique opportunity to include some of MACO’s top advertisers such as new real estate developments and hotels,” says Neysha. “The show also gives me the opportunity to showcase islands which would not normally be featured on a travel show such as Trinidad, St. Vincent & The Grenadines and Grenada.” The producers found us after purchasing a copy of MACO Destinations at a Barnes & Noble store in New York. How fairy tale-ish is that? This is another great opportunity to advance Caribbean tourism, and we feel blessed to be able to keep meeting our objective. MACO’s aim has always been to showcase the Caribbean on a world stage, and the Travel Channel series featuring Caribbean destinations provides “incredible PR” for the region in these trying times. Dylan Edgar, who works with City Lights Television, says Neysha has been a wonderful asset to the show’s cast and a source of helpful information, adding a lot to the content of the programme. He described The Travel Channel as the single most popular and best resource for the American viewing audience to get both inspirational and concrete information about planning trips. We’re just glad that to help out. Go Neysh! To check out more of MACO magazines, visit www.macomag.com
