History

The ministry was established after the Ministry of Tourism and the Ministry of Climate Change, Environment and Energy was merged to form the Ministry of Tourism and Environment. [1]

The merger came with major backlash from the public as many viewed this as the government not caring about tourism. [2] It also sparked fear about potential collapse of environmental oversight in the country. [3]
