week for some Island entertainment and a sales pitch from representatives of the Bermuda's guest properties and special interest groups.

Tourism Minister David Allen led the delegation to the Bermuda Marketplace event, which is also held in the UK each year in a bid to drum up business.

Also attending were St. George's Town Crier E. Michael Jones and local Police constables Kuhn Evans and Na'imah Bean.

The travel agents watched a short audio-visual sales presentation before being hosted to a reception featuring Bermuda style cuisine and entertainment by local band Legacy.
