Sorry but I was under the impression that this event was supposed to be an investment by us to bring tourists to Bermuda and not rely solely on locals attending the event and paying to access a golf course we as Bermudians actually own?!
Maybe I’m confused?
LOL….nope, you got it.
Yeah COVID obviously makes travel pretty tough for anyone right now, but guess what- the same potential tourists will be watching the event on TV and seeing how beautiful Bermuda is. People will still be attracted to come here when they can.
Seriously,
The world is facing a pandemic and any visitor that travels may have to quarantine for 2 weeks.
In the meantime, buy a ticket and support the event until there is a sense of normality.
Besides, the exposure alone is worth the money. People today are still talking about the Grand Slam and the opportunity they had to play either MOC or PR.
Not everything has to be political.
Sorry got kids to feed and land tax and dividend tax to pay in my small business which is killing it!
Golf is just not an option for me or a lot of Bermudians at this time!
well said…always complaining about something
This event will not generate a profit for Bermuda..
Nothing right now is generating profit, but this will set Bermuda up, if pulled off without a hitch, as jumping out of the blocks at the right time and showing our ability to manage this pandemic and still host major events. A win win that will pay dividends in the months and years to come.
How many years do you think this pandemic will last To benefit from hosting an event in a pandemic. As I said, this will not make Bermuda a profit. There a reduced number of tickets which have been sold mostly to residents. Am not sure how you see this having such an impact now or in the future. The pandemic will be a thing of history by this time next year.
We hosted a global event with the ITU triathlon and the Americas cup which were a roaring success. We have proven we can host global events.
It was never meant to. This is nothing more than a photo opportunity for certain people’s vanity wall.
