Jamaica will play a key role in the restoration of global tourism when the coronavirus pandemic ends, is the promise of Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett.

According to Minister Bartlett, “Jamaica is not just working to help its own tourism sector recover, but is looking to help other Caribbean destinations and international destinations with their tourism rebound… Jamaica is not just talking about itself,” the minister argued, adding that “Jamaica is not just talking about how we build back our product.”

The tourism minister advanced the view that “Jamaica also has an international role that we are playing in helping to build back global tourism.”

Part of that effort will come from the country’s Global Tourism Resilience and Crisis Management Centre (GTRCMC) in Kingston, which is already working to “provide global responses” to the COVID-19 pandemic.
