Message by Hon. Dr. Wykeham McNeill Minister of Tourism and Entertainment to mark the beginning of Tourism Awareness Week
My fellow Jamaicans…..It is that time of the year again, the commencement of Tourism Awareness Week, when, as a nation we are encouraged to reflect on the importance of our tourism sector and how it has shaped our economy and served as a catalyst for economic growth. As we celebrate Tourism Awareness Week, I want to encourage all Jamaicans, both here at home and abroad, to join us in playing your part in supporting tourism.
Remarks by Hon. Dr. Wykeham McNeill at the Tourism Awareness Week Appreciation Day at the Sangster International Airport, Saturday, December 15, 2012
Salutations….
Ladies and gentlemen, good morning.
Tourism Awareness Week, which started on December 9th and runs through to today, December 15th , is being observed under the theme: “Tourism For All, All For Tourism.” This simply means that while we seek to ensure that every Jamaican can benefit from tourism, similarly every Jamaican has a role to play in supporting this vital sector which is the life-blood of our economy.
