Bermuda beckons
visitors to its shores

The Bermuda Tourism Authority
(BTO) visually transported vacationers
to the tropical paradise, where drinks
and eats were plant-based, and the
décor exuded tropical flora, during a
colorful and creative island reception,
titled “Bermuda: Always
in Season,” at the NoMo
Hotel, Manhattan.
The Feb. 27 event that
invigorated the mind,
body, and soul, and beckoned
visitors to Bermuda
— named “Best Trips” by
the National Geographic
Traveler in 2016, attracted
tour operators, hoteliers,
media, and most of all,
tourists.

Bermuda allure, was an
alternative, to “your depressing NY winter,”
adding, that the British Territory in
the North Atlantic Ocean, is 90 minutes
from New York, offering bright flora,
and ripe with year-round vacationing
potential.
He called on guests to take advantage
of the 21-sq-mile island that has different
stories to tell, and a spectacular
view of 10,000 whales, stating that 2018
was a phenomenal year for Bermuda
that welcomed a record high number of
visitors to the island.
Bermuda has seen the highest air
arrival in 20 years, outside of the summer
months, said Dallas, noting that
the BTO is delighted with its well-established
tourism recovery.
The event, attended by Zane S. J.
DeSilva JP, MP, minister of tourism and

and island soul. It is
intriguing and inviting,
with a way of life, elegantly relaxed
and genuinely warm. It celebrates culture,
and revel in nature. Its pink-sand
beaches, historic towns and year-round
experiences, will bring back tourist to
its shores, said the tourism guide.
