On August 7th, 2025, the Minister of Tourism, Economic Affairs, Transport and
Telecommunication (TEATT), Hon. Grisha Heyliger-Marten, hosted a strategic planning session
with the Management Team of TEATT at Holland House. The session focused on evaluating the
Ministry’s progress in 2025 and initiating discussions to shape priorities and direction for 2026
and beyond.
This gathering marks the first in a series of internal sessions designed to ensure greater alignment
between departments, realistic planning within budgetary constraints, and a unified push toward
sustainable outcomes.
At the heart of these discussions is the Ministry’s embrace of the R4 Effect Theme for 2025, a
guiding principle that challenges leadership and departments to reshape priorities, reform
systems, rebuild governance practices rooted in accountability, and restructure policies to better
serve the people and the economy.
“As the Minister of TEATT mentioned, if you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go
together. These conversations are essential, not only to hear the successes and concerns across
the Ministry, but to build collective momentum and purpose around what’s next.”
The Ministry will continue to engage teams, assess key initiatives, and prepare to share updates
with the public in the months ahead.
