So you noticed how successful we were getting people to come here. That’s good.

Yup, and much of that sports tourism they have been promoting involves young people… young people that now have a taste of Bermuda and provided we left them with a good taste, they will want to keep coming back. Course it isn’t up to the BTA to provide a good product, that falls on each and everyone of us to live up to that goal.

Since the BTA took over, I’ve seen a higher presence on social media than by any previous tourism body… but I guess you think they are on there to target the older market…

What the BTA is not telling you is that during March 2016 we had many sporting events, business conventions, college kids for spring break and lets not forget Easter Weekend.

Ask them to compare March 2016 to April 2016. The loads will be less!!

Well done BTA!! With all the unnecessary criticism and ridicule you have had to endure this is excellent news. Clearly you know what you are doing. We haven’t seen an increase like this in many years. Let’s see if the Opposition give you the credit you deserve. Good luck sustaining these numbers.

Also these persons become heads of corporations and bring them back for conventions…
Very dynamic

They arent marketing to young people. Its a coincidence.

Sound marketing strategy, getting younger people to fall in love with this island today, increases the odds of us being the choice for their destination wedding and/or returns for their 25th or even 50th anniversaries and/or somewhere to bring their families tomorrow. We do need more focus on adventure activities for these early travllers though, but that is more of an entrepenuer initiative that the BTA can only be a part of in a peripheral way.
