The Bermuda Tourism Authority is owed a total of $34,822 in arrears for BTA fees, Tourism Minister Shawn Crockwell told the House of Assembly.

The statement came in response to parliamentary questions by Opposition MP Zane DeSilva.

There are a total of 47 licensed hotel properties in Bermuda.

Mr Crockwell revealed that Cambridge Beaches owes $19,072 to the Authority, Surf Side owes $10,000. Brightside Guest Apartments owe $1,750; Dawkins Manor and Granaway both owe $1,000; Clearview and Sandpiper still owe $750, and the Hamiltonian Hotel owes $500.

According to the Minister, Elbow Beach paid off its arrears on Thursday, along with a small property whose name he could not recall in the House.

Responding to further Opposition questions, Mr Crockwell told MPs that the other Thursday payee had not been The Reefs.
