The BTA chiefs are making waaaay too much money. They produced the worst tourism numbers back in 2015/2016 and yet they were given a major pay increase!! They are making more than the premier of the country. The BTA chiefs and its CEO need to go. This is not a private company…..Remember that! Maybe some of their salaries can go towards purchasing much needed trash trucks or even better maybe their salaries can go in the trash with them.

I’m not one of the top 10. I wish. Unfortunately I am just like everyone else but I realize how much people like this make. Look at how much people make in the IB sector. Just because you work for government doesn’t mean you should make less. A Chief Sales and Marketing officer is still a Chief Sales and Marketing officer regardless of whether or not they work in the public or private sector. They do the same job so they should get the same pay.

Considering the fact that their budget is almost $10 million less than the old BDOT and are reaping better returns, I say it’s well deserved. These are typical wages for positions like a CEO, CIO, COO and CSMO. Not only that these positions require lots of education and over a decade of industry experience. That’s how much these positions pay. I’m not defending their wages I’m just stating a fact. These a typical wages for positions such as these. This is nothing out of the ordinary. People aren’t going to work for less than what they’re worth, given the amount of years they’ve dedicated to hardness the skills and knowledge needed to do well in those positions

The way you expressed yourself hmmmmm it’s safe to say 1 of the top 10 is you. If your income was around $115k my guess is that you would die off that low salary.Lets be real as real can be……$120 ok that’s fine but $230 k and up. We tax payers are paying for this. You are making more than the President of the United States.

Are you one of the top 10? Or are you related to someone in the top 10? I find it hard to believe that you are ok with these exorbitant wages when the highest paid person has just over 3 times the amount of the average civil servant’s salary.

They are being paid far too much! Take these salaries and use it to offer free flights for 5+ night stays in Bermuda! That’s how to get the money coming in!

So wait let me get this straight. The BTA is the only government funded sector that is currently growing the economy and you’re complaining about their wages? These people work extremely hard to move this country forward. Why don’t you complain about the wages of the civil service?

You’re wrong. People in those higher positions work extremely hard in both academics and in their career. Those positions require upwards of 10 years experience and also require a high degree of knowledge. Those people deserve to be paid that amount and at the end of the day these wages are no different than any other Destination Marketing Organization. Please get with reality.

Yeah. Screw them. All they’ve done is work their A$$ off for thirty five years. They should be happy to let some lazy a&$ civil servant get paid the same.

Unreal. 6 mln payroll, only in Bermuda. And to top it all off they get another 100k for doing their job. In the real world you get a normal base and then opportunity to earn 100k commissions and we Still havent seen a master plan for growing tourism

I find it unfortunate that the Commissioner has forced disclosure of people’s salaries and names. Top executives, sure, name them. But was it necessary to actually NAME the receptionist next to his/her salary? Jeez. I think the Commissioner is taking this to an extreme.

The audited financial statements do not include a separate line item showing the staff travel expenses, including this dollar amount be included to provide the total staff cost.
