Simmons’ appointment comes after the retirement of founding Chairman David Dodwell.

Telford is currently the managing director at Rosewood Tucker’s Point; he has served on the board of the Bermuda Tourism Authority since 2014.

“I am excited to accept this appointment at a time of great opportunity and optimism for tourism in Bermuda,” Telford said in a statement. “I look forward to leading the Bermuda Tourism Authority through the next chapter of its existence and working with Minister Simmons and the Government on our shared priorities.”

Bermuda has reported a significant increase in tourism arrivals in 2017, driven largely by its hosting of the America’s Cup tournament.
