'The industry needs to make it easier for new guests,' says O'Grady

Speaking to TTG on Wednesday (27 April), Jamaican tourism minister Edmund Bartlett said talks were ongoing between Jamaica, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands, Panama and Colombia to offer multi-destination trips.

Bartlett said the partnerships between the countries would be key if the regions wants to recover quickly from the impacts of the pandemic. "With staff shortages and supply disruptions, many places will not have sufficient ability to accommodate the influx of travellers," said Bartlett.
