“I believe that the Ministry of Tourism’s creation of a Road Relay is a brilliant idea to keep people conscious of exercise and the Tourism market here on the island,” commented the Premier.

The Tourism Road Relay race will took place in and around the streets of Charlestown from 3:30pm.

Tourism Development Officer, Ms. Nicole Liburd said that based on building the 2011 Tourism Week theme,” Tourism, Our Treasure” the Ministry wished to focus on the valuable human resource assets within the industry in a fun and motivational way.

Liburd thanked tourism partners on the island for making the event a success.

The route took participants around the Charlestown area. Those involved were mainly drawn from Primary schools, Tourism Partners Relay and Tourism Invitational Relay.
