MINISTER OF TOURISM, HON. EDMUND BARTLETT

On behalf of the Government and hospitable people of Jamaica, it is indeed my pleasure to welcome the Kiwanians of Eastern Canada and the Caribbean (EC&C) to the number one visitor destination in the region. Jamaica is ideally suited for meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions for the business traveller as much as it is a paradise for those looking for a wide range of events and attractions to enjoy at leisure.Click Read More If I’ve interpreted your convention theme, “One Luv, One Vybz, One Passion” correctly, your decision to choose Jamaica as the venue for this important event was deliberate. This, I am convinced, is because more than anywhere else, this land of Bob Marley, Usain Bolt and National Hero The Right Excellent Marcus Mosiah Garvey, not to mention the host of other Jamaican heroes, offers all that and more, with its cultural diversity, vibrant entertainment industry, historical assets and scenic attractions. With Kiwanis Jamaica hosting the 2024 Kiwanis EC&C District Convention in Montego Bay from May 16 to 18, I expect that you will use the occasion to conduct an appraisal of the great work your members have been doing collectively through their clubs, and individually in their communities. As you assess how far you’ve come, no doubt you will use this event to renew your commitment to the children of the world because more than ever before, in this time there is a clear need for the social intervention offered by Kiwanians to help rescue our children from the very negative influences to which they are being subjected. As you review and chart the way forward, I implore you to give special consideration to using your combined skills and knowledge in developing programmes that will, among other things, help to boost our children’s awareness of the various threats they face in our world today. I am aware that for many years Kiwanis International has focused on: “Serving the children of the world.” You have in fact been doing so for several decades. It shouldn’t be any secret that I am exposed to the work of Kiwanis almost daily through the committed involvement of key ministry personnel, so I do know that you take your work seriously and relentlessly pursue fulfilment of your mission of improving the world one child and one community at a time. They also play key roles in helping to grow Jamaica’s tourism sector and so you can be assured that they will do everything to make sure the red carpet is rolled out for the roughly 600 delegates expected for the convention from some 19 countries, spanning the USA, Canada, and the Caribbean. I personally invite you all to join the 44 percent of visitors to Jamaica who having realized that they can’t get enough in just one visit, have been coming back year after year for more. I offer you best wishes for a memorable convention and continued success in the years to come.

Hon. Edmund Bartlett, CD, MP
