Meeting with Mr. Zurab Pololikashvili, UNWTO Secretary General
Recent unprecedented flooding in the north of the island brings into sharp focus the importance of tourism resilience considering the tourism industry is a significant pillar of our economy.
Yesterday, Minister Bartlett and I met with Mr. Zurab Pololikashvili, UNWTO Secretary General as we prepare to mark World Tourism Resilience Day, an initiative championed by our Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett.
Mr Pololikashvili expressed a keen interest in partnering with Jamaica for the advancement of our already attractive tourism product, while ensuring resilience in the face of climate disasters.
