Daniel Reece, chairman of the YTB, said: “The YTB, as well as the Bermuda board, recognize that in order for the National Tourism Plan to be successfully implemented, support must be sourced from all stakeholders involved, especially the community at large.

“The members and I are excited and ready to work.

“We want to be a conduit for young people and the community in general to present ideas regarding our tourism product.

“This Spring Break Launch, Student Reception is just one of many projects we hope to develop.”

Maxwell Burgess, chairman of the Bermuda Tourism Board: said: “The Youth Board was formed to obtain the perspective of our young people.

“They know the audience better than any of us and more importantly, they know how to communicate with them.

“I am very pleased that the Youth Board has taken the initiative to host this event, in conjunction with BDOT, as a means to further promote the BDOT Spring Break Programme.

“I am confident that it will be a success.”
