LONDON – Bermuda’s Premier Brown is in London this week principally for the Overseas Territories Consultative Council’s annual meeting and several related meetings. While in London, Dr. Brown is also taking the opportunity to meet with other individuals and groups who can strengthen Bermuda’s twin pillars of the economy: tourism and financial services.
Today, the Premier met with Mr. Willie Walsh, CEO of British Airways. After the meeting, the Premier said: “I thought the meeting went very well. I found Mr. Walsh willing to work with Bermuda to strengthen our relationship. We agreed to try some innovative approaches to marketing, including an emphasis on golf and spas.”
Tomorrow, the Premier flies to Copenhagen to add Bermuda’s voice to those of the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) and CARICOM to ensure recognition that Climate Change is a planetary emergency that threatens the survival of many small island countries.
