Overall, from hotels to food to taxis, Italy is far more expensive than Cuba. From Bermuda, airfare is more expensive to Italy than to Cuba. Yes, millions of tourists go to Cuba to avoid expensive Bermuda just to irk you to make an irrelevant comparison.

It was as expensive as the same amount of time in Italy.

Millions may go to Cuba, but not because it is cheap.

Pre covid, one million Canadians preferred Cuba over Bermuda. Why is that? Canadians are the #1 visitors to Cuba. Even Bermudians vacation in Cuba.

“At the height of the 10 months of the year (2023), Canada led the list of sending countries with 748,976 visitors. The northern country experienced an increase of 208.6% compared to 2022.” – On Cuba News

Just like the BGC, a total waste of money, yet nothing will be done to make them accountable.

A LinkedIn search comes up with a long list of past and current BTA employees. BTA outsources work to third parties and takes credit for every visitor without using any means to track people to advertising campaigns like a code. Remember the famous Cliff Jumping campaign? I guess none of our hotels advertise their existence. How much money has BTA spent on “influencers” and how many tourists came because of influencers? I love that word, it is right up there with “robust.” But I digress.

To answer your quandary, click on the Marcomms’ Most Influential list link on the story’s first line. Then click on the photos of Jamari Douglas and Kiwan Michael Anderson. Read “Career Highlights” and you will see a common thread. Also note that out of 45 winners, only 13 (28.9%) are men. Interesting.

On a side note, look over the list of names and find companies you have heard of. Click on the photos and read the write-ups. Have you ever seen any of the ads? How many of the companies have you never heard of like the MUSEUM OF ICE CREAM?

In my humble opinion, Hazel Clark, BTA’s Director of Sports & Business Development, does not get enough media coverage, credit, and awards. What she does is demonstrable with clearly visible results. I have spoken with her several times at events and socials. She is awesome.

If our BTA is winning awards, what are the tourism authorities of other countries winning..the ones who are breaking records and having increasing air lift?

Christ, it’s like the Golden Globes on Valium.
