		<description><![CDATA[More cruise ships increases the ratio of cruisers vs. air arrival visitors and goes against the BTA’s own reports on the number of cruisers the Island’s infrastructure can handle.  Various studies over decades have come up with approximately the same ratio of 60% air arrivals &amp; 40% cruise ship passengers.  Residents and air arrival visitors have been complaining ,for decades, about the large number of cruisers increasing the demand on buses, taxis, ferries, beach space, etc.  Over the past 3 or 4 years the cruisers have been complaining about the same things too.  
I know people who were regular return (air) visitors for years who no longer come back because of overcrowding. Some have joined the cruiser ranks because of the cost and knowing how to navigate the island they can deal with the overcrowding to get their “Bermuda Fix” for 80% less, but instead of returning yearly they cruise back every 2 to 4 years.  It’s obvious The Minister of Tourism and Transport and the BTA are ignoring the fact that cruiser overcrowding is having a direct affect on air visitor arrivals.  
Zane and the BTA are just like all politicians, dancing around the decline in air visitor arrivals by pointing out the number of flights cancelled due to Humberto and looky looky at increase in numbers of cruisers for 2020.]]></description>
