The Department of Tourism is teaming up with a US television channel to offer New Yorkers the chance to win a holiday in Bermuda.

To mark the Island's 400th anniversary, the Bermuda Bound Ticket Giveaway will provide round-trip airfare on JetBlue for two plus three nights' accommodation.

A weekly winner will be picked at random and announced each Friday on WPIX-TV during the months of May, July and November.

From today viewers can log onto the contest page at WPIX.com.

The winner will be announced each Friday during the PIX 11 Morning News plus the Department of Tourism's 'Winners' website page the following Monday.

Director of Tourism William Griffith said: "We want visitors to come and celebrate this fabulous milestone with us and this promotion is a great opportunity in one of our key markets to get the word out."

On-air promotions on WPIX have already started, featuring footage of St. George's, the Crystal Caves and Hamilton, among other sights.

A WPIX television crew will return in June to capture footage of the Tall Ships Atlantic Challenge.
