RIM CEO Abigail Thulare said the award would go a long way to ensure that the multi-layered history of the island, which dates back to the early 1300s, remained relevant for generations to come.
“RIM is so much more than a tourist destination. As we prepare to celebrate Freedom Day, RIM stands as a bastion of all that should be remembered in the liberation struggle for the freedom that we all enjoy today.”
