The advancement of Bahamians into senior roles within tourism is not a mere aspiration of mine but a priority. Its time for a paradigm shift. One where our people are not just employees but stakeholders, decision makers and pioneers. Our vision is clear, an industry that benefits not only our valued investors and partners but also every Bahamian. This industry must evolve to improve our competitive edge ensuring that the benefits of tourism are equitably distributed and tangible in every community.”
