“This transfer makes Hon. ‘Etuate Lavulavu the new Minister of Tourism, and Mr. Ringo Fa’oliu continues to be the Chief Executive of all services under the Ministry of Infrastructure”.
“The Tourism Department will continue to use the Tonga Visitors Bureau (TVB) office and other facilities elsewhere”.
