That money is better used investing in local entrepreneurs so that tourists spend more money while here, thus better value for money. The fact that I have to explain this to an adult………….

Providing investment, based on a sound business case, to support things that draw incremental visitors to the island or enhance the experience of visitors (increasingly the amount they spend while here, and the likelihood that they’ll both recommend Bermuda to their friends and come back themselves) make good business sense for Bermuda to me.

Would be happy to share the rigorous (and always improving) application, evaluation and results measurement process candidates go through to be sure they’re value for money – just come on in and meet us.

Well done BTA. The funds provide activity which encourage visitors to spend. Can’t wait to see what fallen off the rocks is all about. Again well done BTA.

Wait a minute I forgot the government of the day do not acknowledge the debt. They think they as the government can just print more $$$$$. SMH
