Jamaica’s Tourism Minister Targets Full Tourism Restart by December 15
KINGSTON, Jamaica – Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett has set a firm target for Jamaica’s tourism industry to return to full operation by December 15 – the official start of the winter tourism season.
According to Bartlett, in order to deliver on that goal, the ministry has activated a high-level Hurricane Melissa Recovery Task Force and a companion Tourism Resilience Coordination Committee to synchronise public and private sector action.
“Recovery cannot be left to chance. We are aligning marketing, communications, infrastructure repairs, aid, logistics, and every enabling support behind a single objective — full industry operation by December 15,” said Minister Bartlett. “Progress will be tracked through the Ministry of Tourism with regular public updates, so workers, visitors and partners can plan with confidence,” he added.
The recovery task force is chaired by John Byles, the executive deputy chairman of Chukka Caribbean Adventures, with Bartlett serving as chairman emeritus.
