The Anguilla Tourist Board has named a new chair of its board of directors, Caribbean Journal has learned. 

The ATB has tapped industry veteran Amelia Vanterpool-Kubisch as chair of its board of directors. 

“Amelia brings a wealth of experience to her new role as Chairperson of the ATB.

I am confident that this team will provide  strong leadership and uphold the highest standards of accountability for the organization.”

Vanterpool-Kubisch began her career in Anguilla’s public tourism sector  in 1978, eventually serving for 16 years as director of tourism. 

“I am deeply honored by the confidence this administration has placed in me to lead the ATB as we navigate the challenges in a constantly changing industry,” she said in a statement. “Our sales and marketing strategies must adapt to the diverse and emerging platforms that now shape consumer behavior. I am fully committed to this role and will dedicate myself to the tasks ahead.”
