Tourism means travelling for pleasure. Most people, at least once in their lifetime, get an opportunity to travel and become a tourist. The fact that millions of people from all over the world are able to travel makes tourism very important to every country. We here in T&T or should I say the present government (and those of the past) look at tourism as "cable brakes," which either make or break.
The people who are involved in the tourism business complain that the government keeps changing the minister of tourism and that change interferes with the smooth flow of planning for the future.What we need is someone who is passionate and dedicated to T&T to be the minister of tourism. Let us admit, whether you like him or not, the Minister of Sport is very passionate when it comes to sport in this country and we need someone like him as the minister to push tourism in this country.
