In a joint statement this evening, the Ministry of Tourism and the BTA announced that Rice, who is also Chief Executive Officer, has asked that his contract not be renewed. He cited personal reasons for his decision.

Urban Cumberbatch, who was recently appointed Senior Vice President of the BTA, will act as president and CEO.
