History
The Ministry of Economic Development, Trade and Tourism was created in 1995 with the merging of the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade with the tourism division of the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Recreation.
The Ministry was organized into seven divisions, each headed by an Assistant Deputy Minister responsible to the Deputy Minister. These divisions were the Corporate Resources Division, the Policy Division, the Sector Development Division, the Trade and Investment Marketing Division, the Technology and Communications Division, the Tourism Division, and the Financial and Business Services Division.
The Ministry ceased to exist on June 17, 1999 when it was divided into the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade, and the Ministry of Tourism.
