The Elbow Beach resort this week hosted an event to honour and thank the Island’s taxi operators for their work supporting Bermuda’s hospitality industry.

Around 100 taxi operators attended the Taxi Appreciation event, held on Tuesday, where they were offered breakfast and entered into a draw for a weekend stay at the resort.

Director of Sales and Marketing for the hotel Rehanna Palumbo said: “We wanted to thank the taxi drivers for their continued partnership with Elbow Beach. They work extremely hard, perform an invaluable service and are representatives both for our hotel and the island. We really appreciate what they do and planned this event so we could tell them in person.”

Ed Burns, representing the resort’s owners, said it was a pleasure to meet the taxi drivers, calling them the hotel’s extended sales partners.

“We really appreciate everything they do for us,” Mr Burns said. “It was a perfect opportunity to connect with them.”
