Jamaica is set to host the prestigious Caribbean Travel Marketplace from May 20-22 at the Montego Bay Convention Centre. This event, expected to attract 150 buyer companies and around 1000 delegates, highlights Jamaica's growing prominence in the travel industry.
Jamaica was at the forefront of thought leadership at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. The island, under the stewardship of the Minister of Tourism, the Hon. Edmund Bartlett, immediately created a COVID-19 Recovery Taskforce with public and private sector stakeholders. Based on the innovative initiatives from this Taskforce, Jamaica reopened its borders in June 2020 and never closed since.
“The success of this first fully virtual trade show is great news and speaks to the innovation which has been at the forefront of the tourist industry in Jamaica as we prepare for the recovery and beyond,” said the Hon. Edmund Bartlett, Jamaica’s Minister of Tourism.
