The new Tobago Tourism Agency has named its first-ever Chief Executive Officer.

The agency has appointed Louis Lewis, who most recently served as director of tourism in St Lucia, a role in which he served since 2008.

The Tobago Tourism Agency was formed after the decision was made to create a standalone tourism promotion agency for the island.
