Whilst always striving to do his best for Tourism, he has always been supportive of his staff who want to progress and develop and I know his friendship will be greatly missed by his colleagues. We all wish him the best for the future.’ Geoff said: ‘It has been an exciting and challenging 12 years. I would like to thank all my colleagues in the Department, Government and the Industry because meeting all the challenges and changes tourism has undergone over the 12 years could not have been achieved without them.
