The new appointments comes as the Bermuda Tourism Authority is undergoing a so called culture review following a slew of resignations from the organisation in the last two years.
It was just last week that TNN broke the story on two more resignations. A report in the local daily today confirming that one of those was Hazel Clark the authority’s director of global business development and partnerships.
To date, TNN has not heard back from Wayne Caines who remains Chairman of the BTA Board about the apparent ongoing upheaval at the BTA, which has been describes as a toxic working environment.
