ROSEAU, Dominica, Nov 19 2015 – Grenada’s Prime Minister Dr. Keith Mitchell said it may become necessary now to consider lowering the taxes imposed on travelers in order to ensure that the free movement of people within the region is maintained.

“Whatever the issues are we must solve it. We have to solve it. If we have to reduce the taxes so be it because in the end we will get more,” Mitchell said during Wednesday’s opening of the 62nd meeting of the OECS Authority.

“If more people travel we will get less tax on one person travelling but the multiplicity of activities will in fact increase,” he said to loud applause.
