After a rather long day at the tourism summit I think overall it was a good event, a nice thing to see done in Bermuda with many positive signs and aspects.  Ultimately though I am left with mixed feelings as to how successful the end results will be.  It was kind of like a pep rally, it was inspiring, empowering and made you feel like tourism was definitely going to turn around, but after the euphoria fades it is kind of hard to see the next steps.  The sessions I attended were heavy on talk, ideas and information but rather light on real explanations, especially on how to put ideas into action.  As suggested, it was a good event, it is just hard to know if it and the larger strategies will deliver on the hype.
