#BTEditorial - Tourism workers’ value must be elevated - Barbados Today

There has never been any doubt that Barbados’ Director of Tourism Dr Kerry Hall’s passion for the local tourism industry is significant.She demonstrated this over the weekend as she presented her thoughts on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the sector and how tourism’s comeback from this period ought to be reconfigured.Joining a panel of senior tourism officials during a radio call-in programme, Dr Hall presented a compelling case for why we should not return to business as usual.More important, she cautioned hoteliers and business owners against assuming that tourism workers will just pick back up from where they left off, when the pandemic resulted in a near shut down of the sector and the trauma that resulted for a cross section of tourism workers.
