Over 300 Canadians arrived here on Saturday for the 30th edition of the CHUM FM Breakfast in Barbados promotion.

More than 300 prize winners, artistes and crew have arrived in Barbados for the April 11 – 18 CHUM FM Breakfast in Barbados promotion.
BTMI Director, Canada, Peter Mayers, who was on hand to welcome the visitors, said Barbados continues to enjoy a high repeat visitor rate in the Canadian market but added there was room for growth among next-generation travellers.
“This is the thirtieth edition of Breakfast in Barbados and we’re absolutely thrilled to have reached this significant milestone. It speaks to the strength of our partnership with CHUM and their confidence in the Barbados brand in the Canadian market. As we look to the next 30 years, we plan to make greater use of the digital technologies and other appropriate platforms to ensure that we increase our market share among younger Canadian travellers.”
