A former government MP has resigned as chairman of the board of the Bermuda Tourism Authority.

Wayne Caines’s departure was confirmed by the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport, which thanked the former Progressive Labour Party MP for his service.

The Government said Mr Caines, who was appointed chair of the BTA during the pandemic, took on his role “during one of the most challenging periods in Bermuda’s tourism history”.

It said: “Under his leadership, the BTA navigated the uncertainties of border closures, shifting travel restrictions, and the long road to recovery.”

The Government said it looks forward to working with the BTA’s leadership and stakeholders to support the long-term success of the island’s tourism sector.
