THA Minority Leader Kelvon Morris has accused Secretary of Tourism, Culture, Antiquities and Transportation Tashia Burris of using the typical July-August influx of domestic visitors to Tobago to mask what he claimed is the island’s decline in international arrivals.

He was responding on September 1 to a newspaper article which quoted Burris as saying that Tobago’s tourism sector was performing well despite the ongoing state of emergency.

Burris attributed the sector’s success to the division’s focus on what she called “positive press” and the fact that the island was still open for business.
