OECS revamps tourism policy

The Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States says it has adopted a unified and collaborative approach to enhance and address the challenges facing the tourism industry.
 
The OECS Tourism Policy Regional Task Force convened a two-day Regional Consultation in Antigua & Barbuda.
 
The gathering aimed to establish new guiding principles and articulate a mission and vision for the development of a new OECS common Tourism Policy.
 
OECS Director General Dr. Didacus Jules says the updated policy seeks to develop a fully comprehensive and pragmatic approach that supports competitiveness, balanced growth, greater community participation, and increased benefits to local communities.
 
The revised OECS Common Tourism Policy is expected to include directives on sustainable tourism development, as well as climate-smart and resilience strategies to promote a thriving and more equitable tourism sector.
