The Bermuda Tourism Private Sector Long Term Strategy final draft was given to Tourism Minister David Allen back in April and he is to present it to the Government soon for their consideration.

Members of the private sector who put the report together may have to present the document to Ministers.

The report details goals for the tourism industry, including increasing hotel occupancy from 50 to 70 percent, adding 1,000 beds by 2003 and keeping cruise visitors at 6,000 a day.

It is anticipated that much of the work will start to be implemented by late this year, in time for the 2001 season.

Mr. Allen, responding to written questions from The Royal Gazette said: "The Director of Tourism has had meetings with the Bermuda Hotel Association, conduit group, departmental executives and overseas sales staff. A final draft of the report is expected to be submitted shortly.'' Meanwhile, it has been revealed that Bermuda's membership of the Caribbean Tourism Organisation will cost around $66,150 a year. The figure is based on the number of stay over visitors each year.
