Dear Minister Richardson – Hodge,
The Board of The Anguilla Hotel and Tourism Association representing the collective voice of the owners and operators of a significant element of Anguilla’s Tourism Plant and ancillary services, wishes to register our position in respect to the proposed Draft Labour Code review process.
We respectfully request a fair and more feasible timeframe before the passing of the bill to review, dialogue and digest the contents of the recently publicized updated draft, so that we can compile a well-considered and meaningful response to ensure the sustainability, performance and success of our most important industry.
We believe that a 30-day extension on the time-frame from this date will allow us to provide a well-informed response.
Thank you for your kind consideration.
Delroy Lake
President Anguilla Hotel and Tourism Association
