Minister Bartlett says there is a growing market for people who travel for knowledge and we need to lay the foundation to capitalize on that opportunity. “People travel for the exchange of knowledge, whether it’s the specialized niche called the MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions) market or a meeting of the minds in fora on specific topics. So, we are preparing our stakeholders to tap into that market post COVID-19,” he said.
The first forum, on May 7, will run from 10:00 a.m. to 12 noon and will explore the topic, “Tourism Diplomacy – Rebuilding Tourism Safely.” Participants in the panel discussion will include Minister Bartlett; Professor of Public Health, Epidemiology and HIV/AIDS, University of the West Indies, Peter Figueroa; General Manager of Jamaica Inn, Kyle Mais; President of the Jamaica Hotel and Tourist Association, Clifton Reader and Director of Tourism, Donovan White. The session will be moderated by Chairman of the TLN’s Knowledge Network, Omar Robinson.
The other sessions, which will be held from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm, include: How Tourism has Impacted Other Sectors (Part 1), May 14; How Tourism has Impacted Other Sectors (Part 2), May 20; Cruise Homeporting: Benefits for our Destination, May 27 and Destination Weddings, June 11. The sessions will be livestreamed on TEF’s social media pages: @tefjamaica.
