Community Tourism Consultations get Underway In St. Elizabeth

The Ministry of Tourism and Entertainment hosted the first in a series of national consultations on the Community-Based Tourism Policy green paper on April 15, 2014 at Lovers’ Leap in St. Elizabeth.  These consultations, which will be held in parishes across the island, aim to elicit valuable feedback from community stakeholders and tourism partners.  The Community-Based Tourism Policy green paper, a collaborative effort between the Ministry of Tourism and Entertainment and the Jamaica Social Investment Fund (JSIF), was tabled in Parliament in February of this year. These consultations represent the final step towards making the policy a white paper.
