McNeill wants Regional approach to Caribbean tourism

MONTEGO BAY, Jamaica- Minister of Tourism and Entertainment, Hon. Dr. Wykeham McNeill, is pressing for a Regional approach to growing the Caribbean tourism market.

“Our Regional governments must continue to work together to strengthen our ties with meaningful cooperation as we build a strong, multi-destination industry,” said Minister McNeill ahead of going to Haiti on Tuesday, May 19 to participate in the International Seminar on Multidestination Opportunities for Regional Integration with fellow Regional Ministers of Tourism, which is being jointly organised by the Haitian Government and the World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO).

Addressing a Regional gathering of more than 600 Rotarians at the Rotary District 7020 Banquet at the Half Moon Resort Saturday night, Minister McNeill noted that he anticipated a high level of collaboration and the sharing of ideas at the Haiti consultation. “It is crucial that we hold our own in a global industry that necessitates that we keep at the top of our game,” he said.
