St. Kitts’ Minister of Tourism calls for CTO overhaul

Addressing a group of tourism experts, minister Astaphan suggested the creation of a Council of Ministers and Commissioners at the helm of the Caribbean Tourism Organization. The CTO’s current board of directors is made up of tourism directors and representatives from the private sector, according to a piece published by the Caribbean Media Corporation.

Minister Astaphan said he would call his counterparts for a meeting in March 2003 in St. Kitts to discuss a number of proposals related to this particular matter. Mr. Astaphan also explained that set of suggestions and proposals was necessary to both reenergize and keep up the CTO and the region’s tourism.
