Tourism briefing for High Commissioner London

London was appointed weeks after demitting office as Chief Secretary of the Tobago House of Assembly (THA) and also as Political Leader of the Tobago-arm of the ruling People’s National Movement (PNM). Davidson-Celestine is a former Secretary of Tourism in the Assembly who also was not selected by the PNM to contest any seat in the recent THA election.

The objective of the briefing, conducted by Ethlyn John, Acting Permanent Secretary of the Ministry and other senior tourism executives, was to sensitise and equip this country’s overseas representatives with information that would assist them in promoting destination Trinidad and Tobago in their assigned countries.

In her welcome remarks, John committed to strengthening the Ministry’s existing ties, and collaborating even more closely, with this country’s Overseas Missions as the local tourism sector continues to play a key role in the economic transformation of Trinidad and Tobago.

Comprehensive PowerPoint presentations were made on the National Tourism Policy, other sub tourism policies as well as TT’s Convention Bureau and the recently launched Go TrinBago mobile application.

Among the many areas discussed were visitor safety and security and optimising the use of our Diaspora in terms of investment and marketing destination Trinidad and Tobago.
