“It is vitally important and the expressed view of the collective members of the BHA that as a tourism destination, we must continue to ensure the revitalization of the important hotel sector of our economy.
“Specifically, it must continue to grow and move in a positive direction, and this should be achieved in tandem with everyone supporting the efforts and progress being made by the entire team at BTA.
“On behalf of our BHA members, we very much appreciate Kevin’s efforts and accomplishments and wish him all the very best in his future professional endeavors,” Mr. Morrison said.
