With Jamaica welcoming just over 20,000 German tourists last year, Jamaica Tourism Minister Hon. Edmund Bartlett has mandated the Jamaica Tourist Board (JTB) and key tourism officials to double that number to 50,000 German tourist arrivals to the island by 2020.
He made the point while meeting with the leadership of the world’s largest tour company, TUI Group, in Berlin, Germany. Minister Bartlett noted that the Tourism Ministry and the JTB will be working closely with TUI to achieve the target. TUI Group brought over 150,000 tourists to Jamaica’s shores last year.
