(CNS): Tourism Minister Kenneth Bryan is on the road again, this time in Jamaica at the Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association (CHTA) Marketplace in Montego Bay. A delegation of tourism officials and private sector partners is at the event where intra-Caribbean travel and air connection will be on the agenda, just as Cayman Airways drops the route between the Cayman Islands and Barbados. Bryan said the conference, renowned as the Caribbean’s largest and most significant marketing event, provides a platform for collaboration and innovation and an opportunity to engage with industry leaders and stakeholders to chart the course for the region’s tourism sector.
“I am honoured to be part of this important dialogue, and I look forward to contributing to discussions that are pivotal in determining the direction that the regional tourism industry will take moving forward,” he said.

The work depicts a map of Grand Cayman surrounded by blue stones representing the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea.
It was cast from cement by Hartwell McField and painted by Carlos Garcia. Bryan commended the BTF for their sterling efforts to enhance the aesthetic appeal of our islands. “This beautifully crafted piece of art is a testament to the creativity and talent .
