Am­ral Khan, founder of Am­ral’s Trav­el and a well known steel­band im­pre­sario, has died.

Khan cre­at­ed one of the most pop­u­lar trav­el agen­cies in the coun­try, mak­ing his mark as an ex­em­plary busi­ness­man. He lat­er sold the busi­ness but em­ploy­ees through­out the agency yes­ter­day re­mem­bered him as a kind man with a keen business sense....

In ad­di­tion to es­tab­lish­ing a “trav­el ser­vice with a dif­fer­ence,” Khan led ten steelbands—in­clud­ing four spon­sored by Sin­ga­pore Air­lines—to al­most every corner of the world for 11 years, per­form­ing to over one bil­lion peo­ple.

“Am­ral Khan took the world by storm through his love for steel­band and he was instrumental in mar­keting the in­stru­ment on an in­ter­na­tion­al lev­el. He did it love and with pride,” he said.

Khan’s last ac­tive steel­band in­volve­ment was as vice chair­man of the World Steelband Fes­ti­val 2000, which at­tract­ed steel­bands from Eng­land, Swe­den, Norway, the Unit­ed States and the Caribbean.
