On 2017, the Ministry introduced the Destination Assurance Council, which will work to make certain that the quality, standards and integrity of the tourism product are maintained.
Among many other functions, the Council will recognize the urgency of the tourism industry, check the progress of the developmental initiatives made by the main stakeholders in the resort areas, and makes sure that operators are licensed.
The Regional Tourism Health Programme is all set to improve the health and well-being of visitors and locals, thus improving the quality, competitiveness, reputation, profitability, and sustainability of Caribbean tourism.
