Michael Bornn, who sources say is Gov. Charles Turnbull's choice for Tourism Commissioner, has the support of Sen. Roosevelt David.
In a statement released Thursday, David expressed "loud and clear congratulations" 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.
David added that Bornn will bring vision to the post to implement long-term strategies for the development and promotion of tourism. David also said he is certain Bornn will work to promote all three islands with equal effort.
David urged his colleagues in the 23rd Legislature to support Bornn's nomination so there will be, "permanent leadership and guidance in the vital area of tourism for the expansion of a better Virgin Islands economy."
