Former Chief Executive Officer of the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Tourism
Authority (SVGTA) Glen Beache is set to be the new head of the investment
promotions agency for St. Vincent and the Grenadines Invest SVG.
This was confirmed by Prime Minister Dr. Ralph Gonsalves during a call to WE
FM’s Issue At Hand program on Sunday.
Prime Minister Gonsalves noted that there had been several applicants for the post
and following the appropriate process Mr. Beache was chosen.
“It is true that Glen Beache has resigned as the CEO of the St. Vincent and the
Grenadines Tourism Authority, but the reason why he had to resign is that he
applied for a job to head Invest SVG, and there were several applicants and a
process was done, several persons were shortlisted, they were interviewed by the
independent process and he scored the highest and was offered the job and he has
settled terms with them, so he can’t hold twp jobs, so he has to resign from the
Tourism Authority,” he said.
Prime Minister Gonsalves said he had been advised by Minister of Tourism Carlos
James that an individual will come as CEO of the SVGTA during a transitional
period.
Glen Beache, earlier this month announced that he will demit office next month.
Mr. Beache told state media that September 8, 2023, will be his last day as the
CEO of the Tourism Authority.
