CARIBBEAN ROUNDUP
Skerrit said that saving the lives of
Dominicans was paramount and despite
the challenges, his administration has
continued to provide for all citizens,
particularly the most vulnerable.
GRENADA
Attorney Dickon Mitchell has been
appointed the new leader of the main
Grenada opposition National Democratic
Congress (NDC) during the party’s
recent convention
following former prime
minister Tillman Thomas
and former senior
government minister
Nazim Burke.
Thomas led the party to victory in
the 2008 general election, but in 2013
the party failed to win a seat in the
15-member Parliament — a position it
also repeated during the 2018 general
election under Burke’s leadership.
The NDC convention was held virtually
as the country continues its measures
aimed at curbing the spread of the
COVID-19 pandemic that has claimed
the lives of 198 people so far and infected
others since March last year.
The new leader said the NDC, which
celebrated 34 years in October, will continue
to change the culture of politics
on the island.
Mitchell described his election to the
top post as the first step in transforming
the politics of Grenada, adding that it is
belief that it is the first time in modern
history of the island that so many people
had the opportunity to understand
the importance of democracy.
Mitchell polled 277 votes as against
43 for Phillip Telesford and seven votes
for Terrence Forrester.
TRINIDAD
Caribbean Airlines Limited (CAL) is
the Caribbean’s leading brand for 2021.
The Trinidad and Tobago state-owned
airline was named the
leading brand at the
recent 28th annual
World Travel Awards.
This is the fifth time
that CAL has captured the award.
In a brief statement, CAL said it
was “heartened to receive the distinguished
accolade, which affirms that
the airline is providing value to its
customers as it fulfill its vision to be
the preferred carrier serving the Caribbean.”
Jamaica walked away with the Caribbean
leading airport, leading destination,
leading cruise destination and
leading tourist board awards.
The World Travel Awards was established
in 1993 to acknowledge, reward
and celebrate excellence across all sectors
of the travel tourism and hospitality
industry.
