The Global Tourism Resilience and Crisis Management Centre (GTRCM) based in the Caribbean will be charged with driving the recovery of tourism in the region following the passage of the novel coronavirus disease which has already debilitated much of the sector.

Jamaica’s minister of tourism, Edmund Bartlett in a recent breaking travel news report made these pronouncements whilst also noting that the centre which is located on The University of the West Indies campus in the country will also play a significant role in helping to restore the island to its famed tourist destination.

“While nobody knew that a pandemic like no one has ever seen would bring global tourism to a virtual standstill, the GTRCM, fortunately, was created to deal with recovery and in whatever form,” he said.
