Tracy Taegar Panton, new C.E.O., Ministry of Tourism
There’s word tonight that Tracy Taegar Panton has taken up the job as C.E.O. in the Ministry of Tourism. Panton, who was with the Belize Natural Energy Trust Fund, has reportedly resigned and will return later this month to tourism. After many years in the industry, in 2009, Panton’s contract as Director of Tourism was not renewed but it is known that she worked well with Minister Manuel Heredia, who in fact wanted her back at the ministry. And in the interim, Lindsay Garbutt remains as C.E.O. He is reportedly lobbying for a job with the Ministry of Transport.
