Fixing Carnival

Tourism Secretary Tashia Burris Says The T.h.a. Is Committed To Working With The Tobago Mas Bandleaders Towards Developing Products For Both The National And Tobago Carnivals.

Secretary of Tourism, Culture, Antiquities and Transportation, Tashia Burris explained that some of the frustrations expressed by the mas fraternity were a result of miscommunication, an issue she aims to rectify.

They do not receive financial support from the National Carnival Commission, a matter that Burris said she needs to address in conversation.
