Rasheeda Burgess of the Bermuda Tourism Authority has been recognised by an international programme which spots young marketing talent.

Ms Burgess, 28, was named in Destination Marketing Association International’s “30 Under 30” list — identifying future leaders in the field of destination marketing.

She has already been picked out for great things by the BTA, where she works as an assistant product development manager, having been enrolled in a rotation programme several months ago.

This summer, Ms Burgess will work at a marketing organisation in Washington DC, before attending the DMAI Annual Convention in Minneapolis then visiting New York City to work with the BTA’s sales and marketing team.

“30 Under 30” is now in its sixth year. For full details of the honorees, see www.destinationmarketing.org/dmai-30-under-30.
