If sailors and their crews are to be charged $250 to stay for three months then Bermuda has to make them feel welcome.This is the view of Shadow National Security Minister Michael Dunkley who said the new Government charge would have to provide “good value for money.”Yachts can now dock in Bermuda for up to three months as opposed to just 21 days. But to do so every yacht passenger and crew member must pay the $250 fee.The fee under the Government Fees Amendment (No.3) Regulations 2011 was unanimously passed in the Senate but not before a debate about what the sailing crews would get for their money.The new law is a way to create and generate revenue for Bermuda during the economic downturn, as well as boost the profits of local businesses.Mr Dunkley, the One Bermuda Alliance Senate leader, said: “Everyone looks to get something for nothing but we understand the appropriate fee has to be in place.“Now we just need to ensure that we give good value for money so these sailors can go back to where they came from and talk about Bermuda.“We want this to be a great opportunity for businesses to take advantage off. There is so much potential here.“This is an untapped resource that we have to tap into.”Mr Dunkley added that he would like to see Bermuda doing everything it could to make sailors “feel welcome and encourage them to come back.”He said: “As the world changes more people are trying to get away. We can cater to what they are looking for here.”Independent Senator Walwyn Hughes said the new law was “long overdue” adding: “I don’t know why we have made it so difficult for so long.”Sen Hughes said: “Anyone who wants to stay and spend money and is a reasonable citizen should be encouraged.“If these people have got enough money to travel around on a yacht then they can help our economy.”
