UBP: No Beyonce for You!
No Beyonce. No Alicia Keys. No Bermuda Music Festival. That's the UBP's ridiculous plan to deal with an international economic downturn from which Bermuda's not immune. What's next UBP? A dance ban?
There's lots of things Bermuda can do to soften the blow of the international economic downturn. We're engaging in a platinum period revitilisation of our tourism product to improve Bermuda's attractiveness to vacation and business tourists alike. And, under the steady leadership of Deputy Premier and Finance Minister Paula Cox, we're ensuring that our regulatory environment continues to be one that cultivates our IB sector.
We've faced difficult economic times in the past. The aftermath of September 11th dealt a blow to our tourism industry, but, we recovered and grew the industry. For nearly a decade now, the UBP has played on your economic fears - and they've yet to be proven right. We are capable stewards of this economy and, contrary to what the UBP says, it's not necessary to ban fun to protect our economy.
