Buckhead Coalition president Sam Massell welcomed a Bermuda marketing delegation at the Mandarin Oriental hotel on Wednesday, May 23. The occasion was a dinner hosted for travel agents here by Bermuda's tourism department. Massell, a former Atlanta mayor who once owned a travel agency in Buckhead, met with the group to emphasize the importance of tourism to Atlanta's economy.

"Mutual promotion of the hospitality industry is a natural progression of the Sister Community relationship between Buckhead and Bermuda, and is a two-way trade opportunity," Massell said.
