Carey Wallace, executive director of the Tourism Enhancement Fund, stated that the potential earnings from Jamaica’s tourism sector by 2036 must translate into wealth for all Jamaicans, not just those directly involved in the sector. Wallace noted that the Ministry of Tourism’s Tourism 3.0 programme is geared toward building wealth across all of Jamaica’s industries. He emphasized the need to invest in linkages to ensure that more Jamaicans supply goods consumed by tourists.
