Jamaica to Play Key Role in Global Tourism Recovery

  • Jamaica will play a key role in restoring global tourism when the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic ends, says Tourism Minister, Hon. Edmund Bartlett.
  • He said that the country is not only working on recovery efforts locally, but is also reaching out to assist its counterparts in the Caribbean region and elsewhere.
  • “Jamaica is not just talking about itself…Jamaica is not just talking about how we build back our product…Jamaica also has an international role that we are playing in helping to build back global tourism,” the Minister noted, while addressing a digital media briefing on Thursday (April 9).
  • Bartlett informed that the Global Tourism Resilience and Crisis Management Centre established in Jamaica, is being called upon “to provide global responses.”
