The BVITB will facilitate two informational meetings for tourism-based businesses on Thursday 22 July on Tortola and Virgin Gorda.

Deputy Director of the Board and Business Development Manager, Malcia Smith Hamilton, said the meeting is an opportunity for businesses to learn more about available resources in the region.  “In these informative meetings, business owners will learn how they can secure development opportunities from CTCS such as the use of professional consultants to evaluate their business modules and make recommendations, group workshops and attachments at similar businesses in the Caribbean for learning exchanges.”

Interested managers and business owners are invited to Thursday’s presentation at Fishlock Hall in the J.R. O’Neal Botanic Gardens from 9:30am and at 1:30 p.m. at the Virgin Gorda Administration Complex in Valley, Virgin Gorda.
