Bermuda ‘Ambassadors’ Interview: CBS Radio

The Bermuda Department of Tourism [BDOT] hosted CBS Radio with the support of the Fairmont Hamilton Princess June 27-29, 2011.

While on-Island, a representative from the network conducted interviews with more than a dozen Bermudian ambassadors, from hoteliers to taxi drivers and tour guides.

The Minister of Business Development and Tourism Patrice Minors said, “This partnership presents a very exciting and important opportunity, and we are thrilled to have such an enthusiastic group of Bermudians interested in serving as ambassadors for our Island. We want CBS Radio’s many listeners to hear these stories and catch an authentic glimpse of Bermuda and truly connect with our people.”
