Minority Leader Kelvon Morris Accuses Tourism Secretary Of Knowing About A Shortfall In Maxi Taxis Long Before 1st Cruise Ship Arrival
Scarborough, Tobago – Minority Leader Kelvon Morris has publicly chastised Tashia Burris, Secretary of Tourism, Culture, Antiquities, and Transportation, following recent disruptions in Tobago’s cruise tourism sector. During a press conference, Morris expressed deep disappointment over the cancellations of bus tours for cruise ship passengers that occurred last weekend.
Morris’s criticism centers on his belief that Secretary Burris failed in her duty to properly coordinate with bus drivers, leading to an inability to meet the demand for tours. He reinforced his concerns by presenting a letter he previously penned to Secretary Burris, which specifically highlights persistent challenges with available tour buses since last year.
This ongoing issue with tourism transportation in Tobago could significantly impact the island’s reputation as a cruise destination. The Minority Leader’s intervention underscores the urgent need for a robust and reliable ground transport system to support the growing number of cruise ship arrivals.
