Opening the 2022/2023 Sectoral Debate in the House of Representatives yesterday (Tues), the Minister credited the achievement to the “excellent tactics and polices” that the Government put in place to contain the coronavirus.
He cited in particular, the country’s innovative resilient corridors, which cover most of the island’s tourism regions, and allow visitors to experience more of the country’s distinctive offerings, noting that the compliant sites have been approved by the health authorities.
Minister Bartlett said that since the reopening of the tourism industry in June 2020, the established procedures governing the corridors have kept both guests and workers secure, resulting in Jamaica becoming one of the most sought-after destinations.
He added the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC classification of Jamaica at level one on its COVID-19 threat level system, is a further boost to the tourism sector.
