We're #1! Bermuda Receives Top Conde Nast Ranking
The Platinum Period revitalization of our tourism product is continuing to pay dividends. Bermuda was named Top Island in the Caribbean and Atlantic in the 2009 Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards for the first time. Premier and Tourism Minister Ewart Brown commented on the honour:
Although the world is facing economic challenges, there are still people traveling, looking for special destinations and unique experiences.
It is clear that Bermuda has proven to the readers of Condé Nast that we are special.
This award indicates that Bermuda tourism is on firm footing and our outlook is optimistic after the economic challenges are behind us. It also reaffirms the consumers' endorsement of the Bermuda tourism product and is a true testament of all the dedication and hard work put in by all the workers in this industry.
Discerning travelers read Conde Nast. It's even more special that this award comes from readers - discerning vacationers who appreciate the Platinum Period tourism product that Bermuda has to offer. This is a great honour and the kind of well respected, independent validation that will put more heads in Bermuda's beds.
