Rihanna has signed up to be a Barbados Tourism Ambassador

  • June 16, 2011
  • Owen Myers

Rihanna has been revealed as a tourism ambas­sador for her home country of Barbados.

The three-year deal with the Barbados Tourism Authority will see Rihanna promoting the island as the perfect place to go on holiday. That is, if the sexual assault and murder of the 'Man Down' video hasn't put people off a nice break in the Caribbean.

Of the appoint­ment, Rihanna said: "I want each and every visitor to this beautiful island to exper­i­ence what makes this des­tin­a­tion different from all others, and that is the spirit and warmth of my fellow Barbadians."

According to a spokes­per­son from the tourist board, Rihanna "is known in the hearts of every Barbadian as the girl next door".

Rihanna regularly returns to her birth­place, and often tags her tweets with #BAJANarmy in a nod to her local fans.
