Bermuda and Its Elegant Lifestyle
To
maintain its elegant lifestyle, Bermuda has sometimes
been governed as strictly as a dictatorship.
Hotels,
for instance, are limited to the number of rooms they may build at a
particular time.
Only
a certain number of cruise ships may be in port on
a given day.
Automobiles
can travel no faster than 20 mph (35 kph) and cars are for residents
only, one per household. There are no rental cars due to the high traffic volume.
Yet
this strong-handed approach has worked to everyone's
benefit.
Unlike
many Caribbean isles, poverty and unemployment are not a major problem.
Bermuda's
per-capita income is among the world's highest.
