I am equally proud of the go getter leadership of Director of Tourism, Ramon Andrews and the entire Board. Not at least I am proud of the efforts of our renown Minister of Tourism who is more than capable of leading this vital sector. This is true partnership at work and this level of participation, collaboration towards one end goal sets this sector as the Poster Child for what the country must do in order to recover and rebuild stronger than ever before”, said Premier Robinson.
