Premier reports growth in stay-over tourism sector
(CNS Business): As well as being the country’s premier and finance minister, McKeeva Bush is also responsible for tourism. Wearing that hat on Thursday, he reported some improvements in the industry’s fortunes to stakeholders at a special lunch at the Marriott. Acknowledging the disturbing but expected decline in cruise tourism, Bush had better news for the industry when it came to stay-over figures. “Despite very challenging economic conditions that persist in the global economy, our tourism sector has been holding its own,’ he said. “I would venture to say that we are doing more than that – we are thriving at a time when things could have been otherwise.”
