From The Front Line JOHN DIXON
Chairman and Managing Director, Prestige Holidays “The single and most
pressing difficulty the island faces is a lack of awareness in the British market place. The destination is not on most people's radar and unfortunately the impression many travel agents have of Bermuda is rather out of date. They describe it as
“Several
operators have negotiated savings with the hotels they feature”
old fashioned and expensive but it provides the perfect location for families with young children, honeymooners and older couples wanting to spend quality time in a truly romantic setting.”
LINDA BELLIS Director, Caribbean Mexico, Bermuda and USA, Lusso Travel
“We were delighted with our Bermuda sales for 2011 and have added another four hotels to our portfolio for 2012 to offer a wider range of properties to suit all tastes and budgets. “We have seen an increase in clients
requiring a USA city stopover and Bermuda beach 'shop and flop' twin- centre. With the addition of the luxurious Rosewood Tucker's Point and several other hotels upgrading, Bermuda is certainly a destination agents should recommend. The tourist board is working closely with the hotels and travel trade offering great incentives for visitors to stay on the island. For example, US$500 for every five nights’
stay can be deducted from our already attractive contracted rates and can often be combined with hotel offers for greater savings. There has never been a better time to visit!”
CAROLINE BECKETT Product Manager Elegant Resorts “Bermuda bookings have
been strong over the last year with 2011 showing significant increase on the year before. This year has started strongly and we are positive that we will see a further increase, especially with the late booking patterns we are seeing currently. It is an area we are keen to focus on and grow over the coming years. “As a destination Bermuda can be a
little forgotten about, especially as it has totally different seasons to the rest of the Caribbean, so we just need to constantly remind people what a little gem it is.”
Getting There British Airways offers the only direct service from the UK with daily flights in
summer and five times weekly from November to March. Flights depart Gatwick around 15.00 and arrive soon after 18.00 – just in time for dinner!
