Nearly everyone and their uncle KNOW where BDA is… And they also KNOW how expensive a place it is as well!!

NOT ROCKET SCIENCE!!

Not a bad idea… But what about the general cost of a BDA vacation?? Many other destinations can beat what BDA has to presently offer and at a far cheaper price!!

Today’s traveler wants V for M (value for money!!

And there are many retirees from cold climates that would take extended stay vacations in Bermuda during our off season when our hotels are only 1/2 full-if it wasn’t so expensive to do so! The BTA should focus on organising the hotels to tap into THAT untapped retiree ‘snowbird’ market –as Florida has!! Opportunity lost by lack of proper focus!

Bermuda’s ‘high cost of accommodations’ has made us uncompetative with other destinations! That’s at least one BIG reason we have more Cruise Ship visitors +many I know vacation elsewhere! The BTA should focus more on advertising lower cost accommodations(if they exist) to attract land based ‘tourists’(as distinct from business travelers that have to stay on land!)

I have never gone to Orbitz (not even sure spelling) for any of my Int’l travel. I know where to get deals and value for money. Glad to see JetBlue vacations and my favourite Internet site for deals, Travelzoo promoting Bda. You can not attract savvy travelers without competitive deals. People can travel anywhere: how will BTA do better?

This video must be a joke. Is it April already? It oozes old, retirement, country club i.e Hanbury. This is so bad.

More of a retirement Island for the elite.
Imagine going online and punch in Adult nightlife after hours in Bermuda.
LMFAO

I don’t understand, please explain how this is considered as ‘making a difference’ and ‘turning things around’? Bermuda clips, photos, discounts, vacation specials have been advertised on various web sites and through various media outlets before.

When the BTA does essentially the same thing as was done in the past, they are credited with implementing new ideas. But they reality is that there is nothing really new here.

I think such advertisement is a good idea and BTA deserves credit for their work, but to suggest they are doing things that are revolutionary is a bit of a stretch on reality.

Nice but I dont particularly like that word PROPER for this text. Sounds like Bermuda is a very stuck up and snooty place.

Love that they put Art Mel’s in there! But probably shouldn’t have shown cliff jumping at Admiralty…

Too bad no one books on Orbitz anymore.

Great work BTA and Mr Hanbury! You are really making a difference and turning things around.

Now let’s sit back watch the PLP bloggers turn it all negative.

Not sure how they’ll do it, but I’m sure they’ll try.

Pathetic Losers Party.
