ACTING prime minister Colm Imbert says that he is happy that 2,000 citizens were able to get jobs with Royal Caribbean International.
He made the comments while responding to questions from the Opposition in the House of Representatives on Monday.
Imbert said he observed that a question from Naparima MP Rodney Charles on this matter contained some exaggerations.
He said Charles’s claim that Royal Caribbean’s recruitment drive was “heavily and massively oversubscribed” was wrong.
He congratulated the Tourism, Culture and the Arts Ministry “for making these opportunities available to citizens of Trinidad and Tobago.”
The cruise tourism industry was one of the first casualties of the covid19 pandemic when it began in 2020. The pandemic also made it difficult for new applicants to seek jobs in the industry.
