Bermuda

A tiny island, a global impact.

APEX Bermuda Destination Management is a local DMC in Bermuda, based in Southampton and led by Rochelle Quinn and Darren Chichester, who bring more than 60 years of combined hospitality experience. Rochelle, who was born in Bermuda, designed the DMC department at the Fairmont Southampton. Darren ran Discover Bermuda DMC there for over eight years, after a national operations role with Kuoni Destination Management in Las Vegas.

Their team handles transport, staffing, tours, amenities, golf, dine-arounds and customised events, so a group deals with one company from arrival to departure. Bermuda is only about 21 miles long, which means a group can play a round of golf in the morning, snorkel over a shipwreck in the afternoon and finish with a bonfire on the sand.

The island packs more than 400 years of history into that small space, from the cobbled streets of St George’s to the Royal Naval Dockyard. Seven golf courses, more than 300 shipwrecks to snorkel over and some of the most photographed beaches in the Atlantic give planners plenty to build a programme around.

APEX’s approach is “We Listen, We Collaborate, We Create”: they start with the brief, then build the programme around it. Contact APEX Bermuda, your local DMC in Bermuda, to start planning.
