Starting with immediate effect, the Grand Bahama Island Tourism Board has appointed Rembert Albury as its new executive vice president.

Albury had been serving as a consultant to the GBITB and previously worked in a number of roles in the hospitality industry in the Bahamas and US during a 30-year career.

Previous positions in the Bahamas include as rooms division director at Cable Beach Hotel and Casino, director of operations at Wyndham Ambassador Beach Hotel, Nassau, and hotel operations manager at Port Lucaya Resort and Yacht Club, Freeport.

"We are confident that under Rembert’s leadership he will help to insure our continued success on Grand Bahama Island.

"His appointment as executive vice president of the GBITB comes at a time when the Grand Bahama Tourism economy is showing ‘true signs’ of a renaissance.
