Yvor Nassief, Dominica´s New Tourism Minister

Newly re-elected Prime Minister of Dominica, Roosevelt Skerrit, has appointed local businessman Yvor Nassief as the Minister of Tourism, Industry and Private Sector Relations. He will join the Cabinet in September.

Junior Minister Loreen Bannis-Roberts will act as Minister while Nassief winds down on his business activities in the next four months, said Skerrit.

Former Tourism Minister, Charles Savarin moves to Foreign Affairs.

Savarin is the only Dominica Freedom Party minister in the government - there were two last term (the other being Herbert Sabaroche). The DFP and the ruling Dominica Labour Party contested the election as partners but no one of the DFP won a seat in the 21-seat Parliament.
