Next, Mr Griffith is returning home as he is Bajan. Gus Logie and others came here to Bermuda to raise the profile of Bermudian cricket and ledt in disgust because of ingrained attitudes. In Barbados the motto was “tourism is our business”. Bajans were taught that and practised it. Is tourism Bermuda’s busines? Tourism is about team work not one person necessarily. A guest to Bermuda must be treated like a guest in our own home. Word of mouth is more powerful than any million dollar marketing campaign! The Green family must be commended for their work thus far. Together we can improve and sustain Bermuda’s product.

Did Billy go to Barbados because Barbados Tourism Authority was trashed ?
It seems that the stupid UBP/OBA is one step behind the rest of the competition .

Let’s not forget they pursued the privatization of the DOT’s NYC office, thereby displacing many long serving and dedicated Bermudians, but were the first ones to cry foul when the BTA was introduced even though it’s majority staffed by Bermudians.

They think voters should conveniently ignore Government decision making and accountability from 1998-2012 but miraculously become selective memory savants for the years preceding and following.

PLP – putting the party before country since 1998; one unemployed and debt ridden voter at a time.

No need to wonder why that happened . I have a sneaky feeling that the UBP/OBA in their research knew that the Bermuda Tourism Authority is basically a friends and family package deal , not designed to succeed in the way Bermuda needs it to succeed .

Strange that inna?
