Episode Details

Jamaica’s Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett is set to receive global acclaim as a tourism icon at the PYNE Awards Africa, celebrating his pivotal role in turning tourism resilience into a global development priority. His leadership birthed the Global Tourism Resilience and Crisis Management Centre, now a vital hub for destinations battling climate shocks and pandemics. The honor underscores the deepening partnership between Africa and the Caribbean, as both regions confront shared vulnerabilities and seek joint solutions. Bartlett’s model is gaining traction across Africa and the Global South, where resilience is becoming essential for sustainable growth, community empowerment, and youth engagement. The event in Maputo will convene top leaders to shape the future of African tourism, innovation, and investment — themes Bartlett champions as critical to the continent’s next chapter.
