Former university lecturer against call for merger of sports and tourism ministries

Former university lecturer Dr Christine Cummings says the call for the government to merge the sports and tourism ministries, by itself, cannot help the development of sports locally.

Dr Cummings who led a research in 1989 on how to finance the sporting industry, is calling on the government to revisit that document.

She’s also urging the government to pump more resources into sports. Dr Cummings was speaking on Sports Grill on Hitz 92 FM on Thursday.

Earlier this week, sports marketer and communications specialist Carole Beckford who was also speaking on Sports Grill, called for a merger of the sports and tourism ministries for Jamaica to realize its full sporting prowess.
