BTA Tourism Ideas Investment Opens In Sept.
The Tourism Experiences application process for the Bermuda Tourism Authority’s [BTA] investment in home-grown ideas reopens September 3rd, 2015. From that date applicants will have one month to submit their home-grown ideas to grow the tourism industry.
The new process will be for tourism experiences that take place between January 1 and December 31, 2016. The BTA funds entrepreneurs’ ideas for visitor experiences up to $75,000.
“Also on September 3rd, the BTA will host a free, voluntary workshop designed to educate potential applicants about creating successful tourism experiences. The workshop, to be held at Elbow Beach Bermuda, is split into a morning session [8:30am-10:30am] and an afternoon session [4:30pm-6:30pm],” the BTA said.
“The same content will be shared at both sessions so applicants should only attend one session. Tourism industry trends and marketing strategies will be among the agenda items covered. The workshop will also walk potential applicants through the online application portal.
