Bartlett to Attend World Tourism Forum Lucerne Think Tank in Greece

Jamaica’s Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett is taking part in the World Tourism Forum Lucerne Think Tank in Costa Navarindo, Greece, which is a top-level strategic body where leaders, investors, and ministers from around the world assemble to talk about key challenges and opportunities faced by the tourism industry, and come out with strategies to tackle such problems.

Bartlett will be meeting with the Campari Group, which is a leading player in the global branded beverage industry and then would travel to Germany to participate in the International Tourism Bourse (ITB) Berlin, which is the largest tourism trade show in the world.

“I am pleased to represent Jamaica at ITB, which is a prime marketplace and driving force behind the international tourism industry.  I will meet with hotels, tourist boards, tour operators, airlines, among other international stakeholders, with a view to establishing new partnerships,” Mr. Bartlett said.

Mr. Bartlett would also speak at the Pacific Area Travel Writers’ Association (PATWA) International Awards Ceremony, which takes place every year at ITB Berlin.

The minister, who is accompanied by the Director of Tourism, Donovan White and Senior Advisor/Communications Strategist, Delano Seiveright, is expected to return to the island on March 14.
