I pray that this summit is not held to add further roadblocks to an already struggling tourism economy in Bermuda. I hope that the powers that be do not tax VACATION RENTAL PROPERTIES that accommodate up to 5 tourists. This is the last and only hope for the budget conscious travelers. Because we don’t have budget hotels. We need to be able to have a diverse tourism product and prices. If we tax landlords for hosting tourist at their properties, it will decrease the amount of properties available for this type of traveler. It also takes away from giving that kind of tourist the ‘truly local’ experience that some yearn for. What we need in Bermuda is less red tape, and more relaxation of rules. While there may be concessions for the big fancy corporate hotels, none exists for vacation rentals. We should be encouraging people to put tourists up for a more local experience and without fear of taxation or penalties. BTA and GOVERNMENT roll down your socks, get your hands dirty and stop with the stiff upper lip. Relax, after all we are an island destination, bring back this appeal.
