The bill, entitled “An Act to Amend Chapter 31 of the Executive Law of 1972 to establish the Liberia Tourism Authority, seeks the establishment of a separate tourism body that will regulate tourism activities in the country. Rep. Gray, speaking to reporters after session on Thursday, lauded his colleague Representative Snowe for the bi-partisan support and expressed optimism that the bill, if it becomes law, will spur economic growth and raise the profile of Liberia. “Liberia, in my opinion, has the greatest potential – a potential when tapped on, our country economy will boom. With these rich geographical and historical features, the country is to be a leading tourism destination, but that is not the case. However, Rep. Gray is optimistic that with the passage of the bill into law, an independent body will now be responsible to boost the sector.
