JA to sit on the World Travel & Tourism Council executive
Jamaica has been invited by the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) to sit on its executive for the first time in history.
Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett will take up the position in January, where he will serve as representative of the Americas, comprising North Central and South America, and the Caribbean.
Speaking at a recent media briefing at the Ministry's New Kingston offices, Mr. Bartlett explained that the WTTC, headquartered in London, England, is a private sector group comprising a cross-section of tourism and travel industry interest includeing airlines, hoteliers, distributors and tour operators.
The group meets to deliberate on wide ranging issues impacting travel and tourism globally, and to strategize and offer guidance on these matters.
This is done by examining trends and conducting research through their involvement with the Oxford Economics Group, which is a major independent provider of global economic, industry and business analysis.
Mr. Bartlett said Jamaica's involvement in the WTTC at the executive level will give the country access to relationships that do not currently exist.
