The president of the Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association (CHTA), Nicola Madden-Greig, said the passing of Hon. Obediah Hercules Wilchcombe was a great loss for the entire Caribbean tourism sector.

In addition to his distinguished service to the government and people of his beloved Bahamas, Minister Wilchcombe also worked tirelessly to create enabling environments for private sector participation in the region’s most important economic sector, tourism, said Madden-Greig.

So it is with profound sorrow that they say farewell to this great son of the Caribbean, whose legacy will long be remembered, she stated.

A former Minister of Tourism of the Bahamas, Minister Wilchcombe was serving as Minister of Social Services, Information and Broadcasting, and Leader of Government Business in the House of Assembly at the time of his passing.
