Don’t be deceived…..Bermuda and the people of Bermuda are the package deal that tourist come to visit. Value for money will always be sought after. If we continue to chase the dollar first, and ignore the social constructs that made Bermuda another world……then all you have is another beautiful location where no one feels comfortable. Put Bermudians first and the Tourism product will be marketable. If you alienate a people, everything is destroyed. No one feels safe in a place where everyone is fighting for survival.

Isn’t it about all of us. Meaning…..per ca-pita…..we should all partake.

Serving is not servitude.
Anti LGBT hyperbole was a billion dollar self inflicted wound. Stop denying it, yes it was Now lets attend to the bleeding.
Sports tourism should be nurtured.
Bermudians are not “the friendliest people the world” Yes they are very pleasant as a rule, but this oft quoted claim creates a deluded sense of self worth.
Evert year dozens of new destinations spring up vying for tourism dollars. Rest on your laurels at your peril.
Tourists read the comments section………OJ
Lets not forget that tourism is a distant second in the economic engine of Bermuda to International business (for now)
International Business massively props up and disguises the dire truth of the pure tourism figures.
The natural beauty of the Island are its attraction and the likes of ATV rides while fun for a few will degrade the overall attractiveness of that natural beauty.
I could go on.

I loved tourism when we had it. Unfortunately, we priced ourselves out of the market over 30 years ago. That is why we could not accommodate the 5,000 or so people who came here for the Island Games in 2013. We have lost all of the beds and Bermudiana Hotel, Castle Harbour Hotel, Lowes Bermuda Beach/Club Med, Sonesta Beach, Palmetto Bay Hotel and most of Elbow Beach in the last 30 or so years.

So called “business Tourism” is not tourism. It is people coming here for meetings, not for the sake of Bermuda.

This is a waste of time. Most Bermudians will say Tourist come to visit the friendly people here which is utter nonsense. Visitors come for sun, surf & sex along with our beautiful clean, free, pink sand beaches etc.

As long as Jamahl stays out of the picture and let’s the BTA take care of our product I think we should be fine.

To start with we have got a one sided Government.

The success or failure of this island is solely dependant on the Government as it is in every country.

The sooner both parties learn to work together the better.

In other words “Up your game “.

GIve our visitors 10,000 reasons for coming here. not one in a million.
