Why Bermuda
Due to its proximity to the U.S. and Canada, award-winning accommodations and venues and high level of personal service, Bermuda is an ideal destination for meeting and incentive travel. The beautiful island is a 17-time winner of the Pinnacle Award from Successful Meetings and the recipient of the Platinum award from Incentive Magazine. Bermuda is well equipped with infrastructure and technology needed to conduct any type of business, as more than 75 percent of Fortune 500 companies have set up businesses on the island. Additionally, meetings on Bermuda are U.S. tax-deductable, which also appeals to planners. For more information on Bermuda meetings please visit: www.bermudatourism.com/meetings
Just under two-hours by air from the East Coast, it is possible to travel in the morning or afternoon and still hold a meeting that same day. Bermuda’s broad variety of meeting and conference facilities range from intimate boardrooms to state-of-the art, high-tech meeting spaces. Professionals can expect presentations and events to run brilliantly with full technological support including slide projection, multimedia and video services and connection to satellite global access.
Bermuda is a dream destination that blends Old World charm (it’s the oldest British colony) with sunny pleasures and a decidedly professional commitment to business. Bermuda packs a lot of perfection into a small space. The main island is just 21 miles long and no more than 1.25 miles across at its widest point. Unlike many destinations, Bermuda is a place that works well for groups year-round. Its mild semitropical climate keeps the average temperatures between 68 and 84 degrees, and there are only two seasons: the “Golf and Spa” season, which runs from November through March, and the “Beach and Sizzle” season, which lasts from April through October. Even the trip home is smoother when groups visit Bermuda. U.S. customs are cleared in Bermuda for return trips, allowing travelers a faster arrival process at their U.S. point of entry.
