The curfews are a part of measures implemented under the Disaster Risk Management Act, aimed at curtailing the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19).
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.
“Sürdürülebilir turizme yönelik bu yaklaşım aynı zamanda bölgesel bir bakış açısından da düşünülmeli ve Karayip turizminde denklemin arz tarafındaki boşlukları doldurmak için stratejiler içermelidir. Bu nedenle, Karayip destinasyonlarının, turizmin bir sonucu olarak bölgeye akan ABD dolarından daha fazlasını elde tutmamızı sağlamak için stratejik adımlar atması gerekiyor ”dedi.
