Someone’s lying! Penn says gov’t contradictory on cruise MOU

Leader of the Opposition Marlon Penn has said someone is not telling the truth as to whether the government and the cruise industry recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) as cruise ships prepare to return to the BVI.

The question was recently put to Premier and Minister of Tourism, Andrew Fahie at a press conference and he denied signing any MOU. He described those reports as a rumour and the most ludicrous thing he has ever heard.

The Tourism Minister said he recently went to Miami to attend his daughter’s graduation and took it upon himself to let the cruise industry know the BVI is still open to cruise tourism.

Fahie said he just had casual talks with them.

However, Penn does not believe the Premier’s explanation.
