St. David’s Primary Students Tour Hotel
Wrapping up a week that saw students from Cedarbridge Academy and Sandy’s Secondary Middle School touring the property at the Fairmont Southampton, on Friday students from St. David’s Primary were given the opportunity to be hosted by the South Shore hotel.
Director of Learning Greg Meszoly said, “This has been a busy week at the Fairmont Southampton hosting almost 100 students from different Bermuda public schools. For us as a hotel, this has been an invaluable experience and we hope that it has had a positive impact on their future career choices.”
The tour with St. David’s Primary’s P4 class was arranged as part of the school’s Social Studies class on the history of Tourism and Trade Industry in Bermuda and covered the history of the hotel and the various departments of the Fairmont Southampton.
Mr. Meszoly added, “At the Fairmont Southampton, we love when we have the opportunity to open our doors to students. Showing them how the hotel operates and how they can play a role in one of the primary pillars of Bermuda’s economy is a fantastic experience. The thing that makes these tours extra special is that they also get to meet and interact with the men and women who contribute so heavily to our success.”

This reminds me of Tarzan (meaning white skin) by Edgar Rice Burroughs written in 1912.
Tarzan is marooned in the African Jungle and becomes King of the Apes.
The storyline is similar to these ideas that are being perpetrated in the above story, expat managers/directors being marooned via modern jetliner to the jungles of Bermuda to save the hospitality industry.
Just recently an expat manager was promoted to Maitre d’banquet (Master of banquet), now this person had no experience in management before arriving some years ago on Bermudian shores.
I’m for upward mobility! I just do not understand why the upwardly mobile or those swinging from the trees in a state of euphoria have to be Tarzan and Jane.
