Local, regional and international tourism stakeholders will converge in Montego Bay next month to share ideas, examine best practices and discuss strategies for advancing tourism at the Tourism Outlook Seminar (TOS) 2014.
The annual Tourism Outlook Seminar (TOS) will take place from November 20-21 at the Montego Bay Convention Centre in Jamaica under the theme, “Tourism: Enhancing Social and Economic Impact."
The two-day forum will be hosted by the Ministry of Tourism and Entertainment, the Jamaica Tourist Board (JTB) and the Tourism Enhancement Fund (TEF) in association with the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO).
Preparations are in high gear for the greatly anticipated event, which will feature contributions from several local, regional and international experts. It will focus on areas such as enhancing tourism linkages for social and economic impact; crisis management; creating resonance in the vacation experience; developing the local memorabilia sector; and opportunities for partnership with the entertainment and creative industries.
