One of the oldest calls from businesses in the tourism industry could soon be answered if all goes according to plan for a programme that will make it easier for them to access concessions.Representatives of the Barbados Hotel and Tourism Association (BHTA) have started discussions with the Mia Mottley administration to implement a trusted trader programme that would see tourism industry operators being able to finally access concessions under the Tourism Development (Amendment) Act (TDAA) as intended.A committee has been set up to devise a structure for the programme that would allow eligible tourism industry operators to engage in a level of self-regulation and predictability when dealing with the relevant government agencies, resulting in smoother access to the concessions.Chairman of the BHTA Reneé Coppin welcomed the proposed initiative, stating that “the time for action is yesterday”.
