Jamaica’s tourism industry will be reopened in short order with a date to be announced soon. That’s the word from the country’s tourism minister, Edmund Bartlett.

Speaking at a COVID-19 media briefing held earlier this week, the minister said that plans are being put in place and protocols far-advanced to facilitate the safe and earliest reopening of one of the country and region’s main economic activity.

He said key stakeholders are currently working on a plan to get the industry, which has been closed for several weeks, back on track.

“From the hoteliers, airlines, travel agents and the attractions — we’ve established perhaps one of the strongest team ever assembled for the building of the tourism fabric in our country.
