BRIDGETOWN, Barbados--Barbados has negotiated an air services agreement with Germany that could see the island expanding tourism as well as trade links with Europe.
Minister of Tourism Kerrie Symmonds made the announcement on Sunday when he welcomed the inaugural Eurowings flight of the Lufthansa Group to Grantley Adams International Airport.
He said his government had managed to get a concrete arrangement for an agreement which had been languishing at the discussion stage between the governments of the Federal Republic of Germany and Barbados since 1993.
Symmonds explained that government had recently taken decisive action to bring about an agreement in just about “two or three weeks”, and this was being “provisionally and administratively applied” while the formalities of signature would soon follow. ~ NationNews ~
