The two government entities have partnered on a number of development projects including the implementation of a policy and strategy framework to significantly boost community-based tourism projects in Jamaica. Earlier this month the Ministry’s Tourism Product Development Company (TPDCo), in conjunction with JSIF, ran a Rural Economic Development Initiative (REDI) Boot Camp/Workshop for Community Based Tourism Enterprises in Montego Bay. Representatives of several community-based tourism groups participated in the training camp.
