(Trinidad Express) Cabinet has agreed to the reconstitution of the Board of Directors of Tourism Trinidad Ltd.

This after the Board effectively collapsed last week after four of the eleven members resigned.

The resignations came in response to the decision to fire CEO Camille Campbell, a position defended by its then chairperson Janelle Penny Commissiong who said it was a Board decision.

However, several members of the Board disagreed.

On Wednesday, the Tourism Ministry disclosed in a press statement that a new Board of Directors had been appointed for a period of two years and will be chaired by Howard Chin Lee, a former Minister of Tourism.
