The event aims to highlight the critical role of sustainable and adaptive tourism strategies in a changing global landscape.
Minister of Tourism, Edmund Bartlett emphasised that the participation of Pololikashvili at the event is a significant milestone for Caribbean tourism.
“The participation of the UN Tourism Secretary General at our Global Tourism Resilience Conference represents another pivotal moment for Caribbean tourism. This high-level engagement underscores Jamaica’s strategic importance as a global hub for innovative tourism development and our commitment to building sustainable, adaptive travel ecosystems.”
“We are honoured to provide this critical space for dialogue that will shape the future of international tourism,” he continued.
Professor Lloyd Waller, Executive Director of the Global Tourism Resilience and Crisis Management Centre underscores that Jamaica maintains a critical role in meaningful spaces. “Jamaica continues to be a thought leader in the resilience space and as we build on our advocacy in this area we hope to increase capacity building for countries globally.”
The conference will host international tourism leaders, policymakers, and industry experts to discuss innovative approaches to building resilient tourism ecosystems, particularly in the context of climate change, economic fluctuations, and emerging global challenges.
