Former Chairman of the Caribbean Tourism Organisation, the Hon Harold Lovell says that the current economic crisis has to be met with continued vision and willingness on the part of Caribbean leaders to adapt to meet the dynamic changes that are taking place in the global marketplace. According to Minister Lovell the region should be ready to embrace innovative and creative strategies in the face of stormy economic times.
” We will be able to meet these times with resilience as we continue to engage in meaningful dialogue and chart a common vision of growth and above all, a willingness to adapt and change to meet these new challenges in global tourism” Minister Lovell said. “During my tenure as CTO Chairman, I benefited from the clarity of vision and collaboration among Caribbean leaders and the private sector in the administration of my duties, and I am indebted to my ministerial colleagues and staff for their unstinting support in my term of office.”
The former CTO Chairman noted that the spirit of cooperation and partnership between the public and private sectors in the region was invaluable in realising significant gains in the region’s visibility and global competitiveness. He encouraged the regional tourism community to continue to strengthen these bonds of cooperation and to work together to forge a common vision for growth.
