Youth hold the key

The effort being made to develop young people in the tourism sector who can truly live out their passion is laudable.

This is the view expressed by Chairman of the Barbados Hotel and Tourism Association (BHTA), Stephen Austin. He delivered remarks yesterday during an event which served as the final media update and announcement of the members of the Barbados Culinary Team, who will be heading to Taste of the Caribbean 2018 in Miami from Thursday June 21st to Wednesday June 27th, 2018. The event took place at Divi Southwinds Hotel, Dover, Christ Church.

“I think the development of people is critical in the tourism industry and we need to honour our passion because everyone in here that is going to the competition on Thursday, they know that this is their passion and this is what they want to continue to do for the rest of their lives,” he commented.

“This development by (Manager of the Barbados Culinary Team) Henderson Butcher, the hard work and dedication put in, I believe we will come back with gold and we look forward to welcoming this team home with all gold medals,” he said, as he expressed full confidence in the team and each member’s capabilities.
