The To­ba­go Ho­tel and Tourism As­so­ci­a­tion (TH­TA) says it is ea­ger to meet with new­ly ap­point­ed Min­is­ter of Trade, In­vest­ment and Tourism, Satyaka­ma “Ka­ma” Ma­haraj, to dis­cuss ways to grow the sec­tor.

In a state­ment re­leased last night, the as­so­ci­a­tion con­grat­u­lat­ed Ma­haraj on his ap­point­ment and said they wel­comed his “ear­ly recog­ni­tion of tourism as a vi­tal pil­lar for eco­nom­ic growth.”

“We look for­ward to the op­por­tu­ni­ty to meet with him soon to share these in­sights and to col­lab­o­rate on strate­gies that will strength­en and sus­tain the tourism in­dus­try,” it said.
