Jamaica Tourism Minister, Hon. Edmund Bartlett (seen right in the photo) pauses for a photograph with Krishna “Kris” Persaud, owner of the Jamaica Tallawah cricket franchise. 

The occasion was a courtesy call at the New Kingston offices of the Ministry of Tourism on September 19, 2019. 

During the discussion, Bartlett emphasized the impact sports has on the country’s tourism product and possible ways this niche-tourism industry can be further strengthened.

Persaud also used the opportunity to give an update on the cricket franchise.
