B’dians urged to band together to solve problems

No single individual can solve all the issues this island is currently facing, and the vastness of our problems calls for each of us to band together to think of a solution.

This is according to Chairperson of the Barbados Hotel and Tourism Association (BHTA), Roseann Myers, during their quarterly meeting at the Hilton Resort yesterday morning.

Myers highlighted that the purpose of the session was to discuss vital issues and look for constructive solutions to help move the sector and country forward.

Sitting on the all female panel was Stacia Howard, Managing Director of Antilles Economics, who set the stage with a big picture which looked at the economy; Toni Moore, General Secretary of the Barbados Workers’ Union, who
noted that the human resource factor is our most important assets; and Donna Wellington, President of the Barbados Bankers Association, who addressed the matter of financing and revealed some strategies that the banks are using to assist the sector.

Myers noted that these presentations were meant to be used as a tool to generate discussions and aid persons in identifying the different avenues that they may need in helping to grow and develop the tourism sector.
