Government on the future of the tourism industry will speak in Bermuda next week.

The Monitor Group's Joseph Babiec will address guests at the Bermuda International Business Association's annual general meeting on December 3 at the Princess Hotel.

BIBA deputy chairman Glenn Titterton said: "BIBA is firmly behind the Ministry of Tourism's relationship with this organisation as the Island tackles the challenges facing our tourism ministry.'' The Massachusetts-based Monitor Group has worked with other governments including Holland, Peru and New Zealand, to identify attributes that differentiate their countries from their competitors.
