Jamaika Tourism Minister, Hon. Edmund Bartlett, has said previously that historically, tourism has shown to have a strong ability to adapt, innovate, and recover from adversity. Policymakers, industry leaders, investors, financial institutions, and providers of innovative solutions are collaborating more closely to make this happen. Also, investments will be made to build infrastructure to facilitate sustainable tourism and sustainable energy consumption.

According to Minister Bartlett the transition to sustainable tourism will also depend on whether the development of tourism is guided by a national strategy comprising policy, regulatory and institutional frameworks with sufficient incentives to stimulate the development of supply and productive capacity where sustainable goods and services are concerned.

„Šis požiūris į tvarų turizmą taip pat turi būti vertinamas ir regioniniu požiūriu, taip pat turėtų apimti strategijas, skirtas užpildyti Karibų jūros regiono turizmo lygties pasiūlos spragas. Todėl Karibų jūros regiono kryptys turi imtis strateginių žingsnių, kad išlaikytume daugiau JAV dolerių, kurie į regioną patenka dėl turizmo“, – sakė jis.
