Tobago Chamber Chairman Anticipates Key Budget Announcements

Ahead of Monday’s National Budget presentation, Chairman of the Tobago Division of the Trinidad and Tobago Chamber of Industry and Commerce, Curtis Williams, says he expects a number of announcements designed to boost Tobago’s economy.

Mr Williams says Tobago’s economy requires renewed stimulus to bolster its sluggish economy, but he is optimistic that key announcements in Monday’s Budget Presentation, including updates on the opening of the new terminal at the A.N.R Robinson International Airport, will be forthcoming.

“With the sod turning of the Marriott and all these things that’s going to happen on the island within this month, that excitement is what’s going to stir businesspeople and other entities to say, ‘Hey, there is a market there that is going to be developed, so let me position myself; let me put my business in a position to take advantage of that market’.”
