Minister of Tourism Edmund Bartlett, says despite being delayed by the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, the pension scheme for tourism workers will be introduced on January 1.
Mr. Bartlett said the introduction of the scheme is also coming at a time when the tourism sector is at a stage of rapid recovery and where workers can again look forward to a future that is filled with optimism.
He reminded that legislation giving effect to the scheme was approved by Parliament some two years ago, but that implementation was delayed with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
