TOBAGO Hotel and Tourism Association (THTA) president Reginald Mac Lean has described the decision of the government to declare a state of emergency (SoE) as “unfortunate.”

But he is optimistic that the island’s tourism sector will survive its potentially negative effects.

The association and other tourism and business associations are expected to meet with members of the THA and Tobago Security Council on July 20 to examine ways in which the assembly can offer additional support to the island's security apparatus during the SoE. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 1 pm.
