Keep culture apart from tourism


THE new Government has yet to appoint a minister for the Tourism and Culture Ministry. We are not sure whether the Prime Minister will retain the ministry’s present structure.

It is time to do the right thing – separate tourism from culture and the arts. It is an insult to have culture attached to tourism in a ministry that seemed unable to excel in either.
