QUOTABLE CARIBBEAN – MAY 28, 2022
| “My experience over the years has included serving in executive roles at luxury properties, top-rated resorts, and villa management portfolios in the Caribbean region. In my new role at Divi Resorts, I’ll be working closely with each resort to ensure guests are enjoying unique and safe travel experiences while creating memories that last a lifetime.” – Mo Sallah, Regional Director of Operations, Divi Resorts “Humanizing local communities in popular global tourism destinations is still frighteningly not happening as it should, but Puerto Rico’s new campaign shares local stories told about, and by, real individuals to portray a genuine picture of who they are.” – Mary Ann Ha, Editorial Intern, Skift“ As Barbados is a beautiful island, I think Bollywood directors and producers would like to shoot their products here. [It would create] a lot of employment, a lot of investment, a lot of things will come because Bollywood is great.” –Rakesh Sabharwal, Indian film producer (Barbados Nation) “Hosting this premier global event [World Free Zones Organization’s 8th Annual International Conference & Exhibition – AICE 2022] provides Jamaica with the opportunity to host a number of key individuals specializing in sustainable economic growth and the advancement of international trade.” – Edmund Bartlett, Minister of Tourism, Jamaica“ Barbuda’s pink sand beaches, turquoise waters, magnificent Frigate Bird Sanctuary, and laid-back lifestyle have for years been an attraction for visitors. Those arriving in Barbuda for the Whit weekend will be drawn into the vibrant celebrations and revel in the feel-good vibes that will surround Caribana City during the festival.” – Maria Blackman, Marketing Communications Manager, Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority “Too often we see the diaspora as almost like an ATM machine … yes, we want to encourage their investment in the Caribbean, but we also have to recognize how to give them space to contribute to the development of the Caribbean, not only in remittances and investment and projects and things of that nature but through their knowledge and their ideas.” – Dr. Ronnie Yearwood, President, Democratic Labour Party, Barbados (Barbados Today) “The outlook for trusted projects that are building a long-term roadmap based on a clear vision and that have utility and impact is encouraging. This is because teams that are reputable, doxxed, and committed to the long term actually end up thriving in bear markets.” – Lucía Gallardo, co-founder of The Aeternals (NFT collection) |
