Minister of Tourism and International Transport, Richard Sealy, is predicting a bumper winter tourism season ??? a much needed boost for the island???s number one income generating sector.

He expressed this optimism following a parade from Jubilee Gardens through Broad Street that ended with a mini concert at Heroes??? Square, The City, with a Royal Police Force Band Concert.

The Minister said: ???All the reports reaching me indicate that we have good reason to be optimistic about improvements in long-stay arrivals and also for increased benefits to the cruise sub-sector.

So, we are quite happy going into the winter season and will continue to work hard to ensure that we can make it through all the challenges.???

Tourism Week began on Sunday, December 8, and ended on Monday, December 16.
