An increase in air arrivals for the first 2 years they were hired before the recession hit. Not so much complaining then.

‘Unprecedented’, ‘never before’, ‘I’, ‘I’, exclamation marks all over the page, the writing here is the story. What energy these guys have!! Wow! Kazam! Maybe it is the Golden Age of Tourism! Anyway, its been 15 long years of pretty much nothing and lies so I guess Wayne has to have his try. And he is trying, please understand that. We may lack the professionalism of most places which spend millions of dollars on international marketing, but he can work a Westjet PA and hey, that’s got to be part of the battle! But this idea is good, so Wayne I am with you all the way here. Now, get that new Banana Beach ‘motel 6′ up and running and we’re right back where we started! Don’t you just love the good old days!

He’s trying to do something. And for once it’s not simply copying something that previous ministers showed wouldn’t work.

OK what happens when the US is hotter than Bermuda to rain here or our inability to go above 85. Great to have the name Bermuda, but a I wish I was in Bermuda tagline would be far more effective at sticking in minds.

The UBP leader may have some critisisms but at least he his trying different stuff. I’m gonna give him some credit for his effort – but why does it take the UBP leader to be the hardest working guy within the PLP? I can’t understand that one! Someone please explain..

“We are about to undertake what I believe is an unprecedented opportunity. Never before has the Department of Tourism engaged in a venture where Bermuda will receive the exposure I am about to share,” said Minister Furbert.

Does anyone know what we got for all of that money that was spent on Global Hue?

Really? C’mon this isn’t at all new, at various times in recent history BDOT has entered into agreements such as this with BBC and or VSB as affiliates of their respective parent US Networks.

This isn’t free it’s negotiated advertising or better yet an advertorial, now I’m not knocking Min. Furbert for signing the check but it surely isn’t the first time this has been done and it’s not some new out of the box initiative.

I swear there is something wrong with us!! Maybe the Department of Tourism doesn’t know that historically Bermuda’s Spring Weather lags behind the east coast. Example: During April & May Bermuda can top out at 75 Degrees while the East Coast will be hitting 80!! Now if we did this promotion in Oct, Nov, Dec then it may have an impact as the east coast weather cools very quickly. Novel idea but wrong time of year!

I thought we were trying to trick tourists into thinking it’s warm here year round with our Spring Break ads. If we show them the weather every day, then won’t they know the truth? It’s actually warmer in NYC than it is here today!

This seems to be a good idea, but I wonder how much tourism it will actually generate. The timing of the morning news is primarily aimed at the average person who has it on in the background before work. What do we have to offer that person? For the cost of visiting here, perhaps money would have been better spent advertising in things like The New Yorker magazine, Forbes, etc.
