Opposition Spokesperson on Tourism, Damion Crawford, was the first to respond to the Minister’s tourism presentation — and he did not hold back.
He raised serious concerns about:

• Whether airlines are receiving seat subsidies
• The struggle of small and medium-sized Jamaican hotels
• Hotel worker wages and treatment

• And whether “Local First” is policy… or just a slogan
The Minister defended the strategy, pointing to certification programs and new market expansion.
