Michael Bornn, who sources say is Gov. Charles Turnbull's choice for Tourism Commissioner, has the support of Sen. Roosevelt David.
David expressed "loud and clear congratulations" in a statement Thursday to the Turnbull administration for making the selection, which is yet to be announced officially.
"Michael Bornn brings all the intellect and experience necessary for the efficient and effective operation of tourism in the Virgin Islands," David said.
He said Bornn will bring vision to the post to implement long-term strategies for the development and promotion of tourism, and added that he was certain Bornn would work to promote all three islands with equal effort.
David urged his colleagues in the 23rd Legislature to support Bornn's nomination to bring about "permanent leadership and guidance in the vital area of tourism for the expansion of a better Virgin Islands economy."
