Gov’t efforts paying off – Premier


“That’s impressive,” asserted Premier Fahie while re-emphasizing that the government’s efforts to boost tourism are paying off.

The Premier pointed out that territory has progressed in bringing back economic activities especially in the hospitality and tourism industries amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, he admitted that his government has a lot more to do, “we don’t have all the monies now, but we are going to do the really crucial things first.”
