Bartlett was joined at WTM by the Chairman of the Jamaica Tourist Board (JTB), John Lynch and Senior Advisor and Strategist in the Ministry of Tourism, Delano Seiveright.
Bartlett hailed the Lopesan Group’s investment plans and noted that development would generate over 2,500 direct and indirect jobs.
