Edmund Bartlett (seen 2nd from the left in the photo), shares a moment with President of the Dominican Republic, His Excellency Luis Abinader (center); the Dominican Republic Tourism Minister, David Collado (left); Encarna Piñero, Chief Executive Officer of Grupo Piñero (2nd from the right); and Lydia Piñero, Vice President of Grupo Pinero at FITUR, the world’s largest annual international travel and tourism trade show now underway in Madrid, Spain.

This comes after discussions to strengthen tourism relations between Jamaica and the Dominican Republic, which will result in a new level of multi-destinational tourism that will reshape the way tourism operates in the region in the long run.

The Jamaica Ministry of Tourism and its agencies are on a mission to enhance and transform Jamaica’s tourism product, while ensuring that the benefits which flow from the tourism sector are increased for all Jamaicans. To this end it has implemented policies and strategies that will provide further momentum for tourism as the engine of growth for the Jamaican economy. The Ministry remains committed to ensuring that the tourism sector makes the fullest contribution possible to Jamaica’s economic development given its tremendous earning potential.

At the Ministry, they are leading the charge to strengthen the linkages between tourism and other sectors.

These include agriculture, manufacturing, and entertainment, and in so doing encourage every Jamaican to play their part in improving the country’s tourism product, sustaining investment, and modernizing and diversifying the sector to foster growth and job creation for fellow Jamaicans. The Ministry sees this as critical to Jamaica’s survival and success and has undertaken this process through an inclusive approach, which is driven by the Resort Boards, through wide-scale consultation.

Recognizing that a collaborative effort and a committed partnership between the public and private sectors will be needed to achieve set targets, central to the Ministry’s plans is maintaining and nurturing its relationship with all key stakeholders. In so doing, it is believed that with the Master Plan for Sustainable Tourism Development as a guide and the National Development Plan – Vision 2030 as a benchmark – the Ministry’s goals are achievable for the benefit of all Jamaicans.
