Head of Global Markets at Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc, Petra Roach, is said to be leaving the agency.

Well placed sources tell Starcom Network News that Mrs. Roach has resigned and will be taking up a new job.

Mrs. Roach is a long-time employee of the national tourism marketing agency, formerly the Barbados Tourism Authority, having distinguished herself as head of the UK office, before taking up a similar post in the US and then becoming first acting Chief Executive Officer of the reorganised and renamed agency before assuming her last post.

She leaves at a critical time for the Barbados tourism sector  which is reeling from the effects of the covid-19 pandemic.
