June 14, 2022 | Colin O. Jarrett | Chief Executive Officer of Bermuda’s Tourism Authority, BTA Charles Jeffers II has left his post after just over a year in charge.
Chief Administration Officer Tracy Berkeley has been appointed interim CEO.
The Shadow Tourism Minister said Jeffers’ departure was alarming and came as the island was working to rebuild its tourism industry after being battered by the coronavirus pandemic which has left 138 people dead on the island.
Jeffers took on the post of CEO in April 2021 after a worldwide search. His departure is one of several in recent months, the last being a key officer of the marketing team.
