You’d be hard-pressed to find many people — other than Barbadians, perhaps — who’d agree with that statement. Bermuda is simply a more sophisticated domicile with a consistently better reputation than Barbados.

And when it comes to work ethic and service in Barbados the quality is top notch and Bermuda just can’t – or won’t – compete.
The only thing Bermuda really has to offer is that we are less than two hours away from New York City by plane.

Despite the TIEA agreement we need to ask ourselves: What is Barbados’ work permit situation like? How do they treat their guest workers and visitors? What else can Bermuda do to better ourselves and attract more customers?

Face the facts: Barbados is bigger and it’s better and it has way more to offer tourists and international business.

No matter what Barbados is a far more desirable destination than Bermuda at present time.
