Bartlett: The thinking behind the pension scheme was to ensure that the workers of our industry can have an opportunity to look forward to a future that will secure them and their families.

Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett says the delayed pension scheme for tourism workers will be introduced on January 1.

Legislation for the scheme was approved by the parliament two years ago, but the implementation was delayed with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We are back on track and have concluded arrangements with the fund manager, Sagicor and fund administrator, Guardian Life,” said Bartlett.

Come January 1, some 350,000 tourism workers may begin registration for the scheme.
