Because of you, Bermuda maintains its reputation as the Jewel of the Atlantic.”

Good stuff Minister Campbell and MP Caesar.
What good stuff? What did they actually bring to the table of value here?
Two more useless elected muppets you will never find.
A Joke.
Tourism has been decimated by the actions of the PLP. There is a Minister of Tourism and the BTA headed by an MP. Why? It seems every year the BTA tries to rebrand Bermuda into another place it is not, numbers are down but they praise themselves for a job well done. Burt is more interested in promoting his entry level jobs in Fintech, a drop in the ocean compared to the number of jobs that can be created in tourism if there was less interference from the PLP. Start with listening to the stakeholders, hotels and cruise ships, and get rid of the needless and useless TAF and $40.
You hit the nail on the head. It’s all about control. The PLP were livid that the OBA created the BTA to prevent political meddling and corruption. Livid. No more GlobalHue, Playboy mansion trips and donations to fake charities in California.
It hired industry professionals, no-one with a political axe to grind. When the idiots regained power in 2017, it’s effectiveness was severely hampered, it’s charter weakened and political interference guaranteed. Yes men were hired, and those that “didn’t fit” were elbowed out.
It’s the PLP way, and another example of why Bermuda is circling the drain.
The TAF is simply the icing on the cake. Pricks.
*It seems every year the BTA tries to rebrand Bermuda into another place it is not*
“feel the love” LOL
Tourism will never improve in Bermuda until the TA forms are eliminated and all those wearing face diapers such as those in the pics at Rosewood that never have worked, stop that nonsense..
The world has moved on, and yet Bermuda is still stuck on stupid…
