St. Lucian with a new minister of tourism
Wednesday, December 20, 2006
The St. Lucian prime minister, Sir John Compton, named the hotelier, Allen Chastanet, as the new minister of tourism and civil aviation. Therefore, Mr. Chastenet will assume the chairmanship of CTO. In naming his choice, Sir John said: “In our drive to diversify and modernize our economy we’ve invested heavily in tourism, both by the private and the public sectors. This area will, in the foreseeable future, be the lead sector in our economy, providing not only jobs, but also impacting on our social and economic life.”
“It is therefore important that we have at our disposal, persons who have the vision, the knowledge and the experience to guide us in this important area of the economy. I have therefore invited Mr. Allen Chastanet to serve,” added Sir John.
“Mr. Chastanet has demonstrated the vision to see the road ahead and to prepare us for the challenges which we will inevitably meet in this fiercely competitive world. St. Lucia may be beautiful, but we must realize that we are not the only pebble on the beach, and to meet the competition we must mobilize the best brains and our resources. Mr. Chastanet will be backed by a team of men and women who have excellent track records in this field. His own interest in this field is no conflict but an incentive from which the entire industry will benefit. He also has the portfolio of civil aviation so he can bring in the planes to fill the hotels,” concluded Sir John.
Mr. Chastanet is owner of Coco Kreole and Coco Palm in St. Lucia.
