England, Windies test tour package feature
taking in the Fourth Test between England and the West Indies next April.
The tour will depart the Island April 7 and return on April 16.
Included in the package are direct private flights between Bermuda and Barbados, hotel accommodation, tickets for the match and transport between the airport and various hotels in Barbados.
There will also be a flight only and flight plus Test only package for those wishing to make their own arrangements in the eastern Caribbean Island.
Easter is the traditional peak of the Barbados tourist season and with the Test coinciding with that accommodations are at a premium.
"The hotels on the Island usually enjoy very high occupancy during the two weeks either side of the Easter weekend,'' said a press release. "And this may seriously diminish the extra number of people to be accommodated for the Test.'' Hence what makes the aforementioned travel package all the more alluring is the inclusion of hotel accommodation. The travel agency has secured rooms in a variety of hotels in the St. Lawrence area, convenient to Kensington Oval, beaches, restaurants and other tourist facilities.
It was also noted that Barbados' Minister of Tourism, Wes Hall, himself a former West Indies cricketing great, took time out to welcome the tour from Bermuda saying: "We (the people of Barbados) look forward to enjoying the company once again, of so many of our Bermudian friends during the Test Match.'' Plans are also underway for a social gathering as part of the package.
