The Bonaire Hotel and Tourism Association has announced that it will sponsor DEMAå‘s 7th Annual Dive Travel Conference taking place on October 7, 2003, one day before the kick-off of DEMA Show 2003. A DEMA pre-Show conference, the one-day event will take place at the Miami Beach Convention Center, the same location where DEMA Show 2003 will take place October 8 å- 11.
