M2 MARKETING & PROMOTIONS

Entertainment: These high air travel prices within the Caribbean are not only damaging the movement of Caribbean people in terms of keeping families knitted ...(but) I think that culture is something that a separate budget should be placed aside for. When we say: “A Festival”-the airlines should definitely step forward and make a contribution/big reduction.

Festivals: Now, Festivals (Jazz) that use state funds to pay mainly American artistes without an increase of international tourist arrivals and little exposure for Caribbean artistes should not receive any benefits from Airlines. Not enough emphasis is placed on building indigenous brands of the region. We need to get busy developing these indigenous brands and preserving the Caribbean cultural Heritage.
