Hotels and the Ministry of Tourism have launched a free flight promotion to help attract visitors to the Island from next month.

Tourist who book for five nights through wholesale tour operators will be able to take a companion, who will fly for free.

Hotels will pay for half the flight and the Ministry of Tourism will pick up the tab for the rest, up to $250.

Those who book on the programme will be given a passbook as part of the Compliments of Bermuda promotion, which gives them a $100 voucher to spend in restaurants, shops and amenities.

The promotion can be booked between April 6 and June 30, and travel is between April 6 and October 31.

Another option is for hotels to offer shorter breaks but give visitors a fourth night for free.
