"A virus can close borders without firing a weapon" | Hon Ed Bartlett

Jamaica's Minister of Tourism, the Hon. Edmund Bartlett, delivered the keynote address at the Canadian–Caribbean Tourism Resilience Symposium in Toronto, hosted by George Brown Polytechnic's Global Tourism Resilience and Crisis Management Centre.

In this excerpt, Minister Bartlett makes the case that tourism has entered a new era, one defined not by productive capacity or connectivity, but by adaptive capacity: the ability to anticipate disruption, absorb shocks, and reorganize before vulnerability becomes collapse.
