Congratulations to the Director of Tourism, Mrs. Pamela Ewing, Director of the Tourist Board was appointed less than two years ago to head the Government’s promotional and marketing arm of the Tourism Industry- The Tourist Board. This year, the Caribbean Travel Awards, which is in its eighth year, awarded the title of Caribbean Tourism Director of the Year to Mrs. Ewing in recognition of her work in guiding the Turks and Caicos to a successful season despite the COVID-19 Pandemic.
In extending congratulations on this very noteworthy achievement, the Minister for Tourism, Hon. Josephine Connolly, noted that; “the Turks and Caicos Islands was able to remain at the forefront of the industry both pre and during the pandemic. The Turks and Caicos re-opened its borders earlier than most countries and was successful in managing COVID-19 in a coordinated and multifaceted way. Mrs. Ewing led a team that was responsible for promoting and marketing the Turks and Caicos Islands as a safe and healthy jurisdiction, that not only managed the spread of COVID 19, but also had a highly vaccinated population ensuring safety for locals and travellers as well.”
The Minister further commented that she was proud of the Director and conveyed heartfelt thanks to our regional and international partners for recognizing the dedication and hard work of our Director of Tourism. This is a remarkable feature given the level of competitiveness in our region.
This award could not be timelier as it comes at a period when we also celebrate the arrival of new airlines thus new source markets, increased visitors arrivals and opportunities for our people.
