Jamaica is role model for resilient tourism

Monday, February 14, 2022

Tourism Resilience has Jamaica written all over it as the winner of this movement.For several years the Global Tourism Resilience and Crisis Management Centre has been leading the global tourism world in its effort.

With COVID – 19, this importance was even more relevant not only for GTRCMS but also for organization cooperating in the tourism field, such as the World Tourism Network, WTTC, UNWTO and many others.

Now Tourism Resilience will not only have its own day, but its own book authored by the Hon. Edmund Bartlett, Minister of Tourism for Jamaica.

The Hon. Minister Edmund Bartlett is more than a regular tourism minister. With a global vision for tourism, with a sense for tourism resilience, he is also the man behind the Jamaica based Global Tourism Resilience and Crisis Management Centre (GTRCMC).

Together with Professor Lloyd Waller, head of GTRCMC the University of West Indies became the global centre of tourism resilience.

Professor Waller and the Hon. Edmund Bartlett will showcase this important role, when they announce the Global tourism Resilience Day on February 17 at the Dubai Expo in the United Arab Emirates.
