Contracts not renewed for BTB execs.
Turning to the tourism industry, major changes are expected to take place at the Belize Tourism Board. It involves the replacement of the Executive Director, Tracy Taegar, who has held that top post for a more than ten years and Evan Tillett, as Director of Finance. Both Teagar and Tillett were informed today that their contracts which expire at the end of the year will in fact not be renewed. They are both expected to proceed on vacation immediately which will carry them through the end of their contract on December thirty-first. The reason for the non-renewal has not been specified, but sources in the industry say that Taegar was not seeing eye to eye with some the hierarchy in the Ministry of Tourism. Taeger was unavailable this evening for comment.
