That’s because Bermuda is too expensive for the majority of people! Middle class Americans can not afford to come unless they cruise. You have shut out most of the population of America due to high cost of living! It’s a no brainier. They can go to all inclusive resorts all over the Caribbean for a whole week for the price of a plane ticket to Bermuda.

Point is. If you throw that much money at anything, its bound to have some positive effects.

Bermuda could have spent 64 million on free airline tickets for visitora and had a similar effect. Stop overstating the event.

With all the above said, 3000 people canceled their vacations because they got Barbuda mixed up with Bermuda and 75 percent of the world still don’t know where Bermuda is located. What a sacrificial waste of money.

Yup they will never understand either because they don’t or because they won’t so let it rest. I thought it was incredible and thank you and others for making it possible. When I tell friends from abroad how politically charged the whole thing had become they shake their heads and ask how could anybody complain about it.

You should know – you have two exUBP Leaders in the PLP, plus other MP’s who are now Ministers. Shows the lack of personal commitment to Bermuda’s best interests rather than their own.

Thats right criticize but you know the truth Bermuda gained …proven fact and there isn’t a single project handled under the PLP that
A stayed anywhere near Budget
B Returned a profit
C didn’t stink
a yes we only have 12 seats but you will soon be wishing we had a few more ….it won’t be long the inadequacies of this group you voted in will soon come to light ….and then there will be the struggle for power from within

Simple if you think about it? The government education system educates a little over 60% of the population, and the plp had the support of about 60% of the population! Do you need further explanation??

Because Bermudians would rather believe and listen to misinformation and false propaganda than actually do their own research to determine what is true and what is false.

You mean like bus drivers, ferry captains and crew, taxis, construction workers and companies as examples? Far more Bermudians of all of Bermuda benefited from AC35 than from the PGA, Faith Based Tourism, or Global Hue. Name an event put on by the PLP, remember they had 14 years, that provided benefits to the people you and the PLP say did not benefit from AC35. One event is all that’s needed.

MD: the very low level of real and intelligent comment here says it all. So stop bothering to make the point on this one. Anyone with a few brain cells already knows how great AC35 was for Bermuda. As for the rest let them stumble on in their ignorance. Time and God will do the rest.

The AC wasn’t a silver bullet but it helped my company pay the taxes it had to. Bermuda WILL NOT SUCCEED with the economic structure it has right now. OBA, PLP….they won’t fix it. They can’t simply cuz of the tribal and political climate.

Bermuda needs foreign investment just like the last 400 years. It can’t go no place without it because NO ONE IN Bermuda has the resources. Do you lot hear that?

Hey PLP/Bermuda….get with the times. For god’s sake.

Americas cup was a gift. It was exciting and innovative.
A rarity. I thank those responsible for it.
I did feel though that New Zealand were judges favourites… In particular to Swedens’challenges… Judges kept telling Sweden they had to slow down and let Nz catch up and lead… Nz would not have beaten Sweden if not for those pathetic penalties bestowed them!

The PLP Government is filled with hate, and to much pride to congratulate such a successful event. They talked bad about the event before and after and now that the facts are in they are quiet. The PLP is garbage and is out to ruin Bermuda.

Dunkley benefitted . Grant benefitted . Butterfield and Vallis benefitted . A few landlords and preferred estate agents greatly benefitted .

Filling in the potective waters of the South Camber at H M Royal Naval Dockyard in my opinion was a big mistake,they could have made better use of the materials from the North channel . Filling in the waters Castle Harbour is another big mistake ,period
